Will try to see. Interested to see if they candy coat Edison or show what a truly detestable douche he was.

These days, Benedict Cumberbatch's career pretty much consists of playing "asshole smart guys":

Dr. Strange, Alan Turing, Julian Assange, Khan, Sherlock Holmes

Not saying all those people/characters were necessarily originally assholes, but the scripts of Cumberbatch's adaptations certainly call for him to play them as such.

Just watched the trailer. The film looks amazing. I will be surely seeing this when it comes out in theaters. If this isn't good, I will be mightily disappointed.

I am very much looking forward to this too.

Though the treatment of this story in "The Men Who Built America," Episodes 5 and 6, was FANTASTIC. It'll be a hard job to do better than that.

Early reviews are the movie is terrible.

Lucky for you, Shannon appears to be the lone bright spot

New trailer now that the film is finally getting a wide release on Friday, October 4, 2019, two years after it made the rounds at film festivals:

Edison was a fool to discount Tesla, should of made friends of him, the world would have been better served
