Almereyda casts Ethan Hawke as visionary inventor Nikola Tesla facing off against Kyle MacLachlan as Thomas Edison, Tesla’s former employer, in a fight to bring a revolutionary worldwide wireless energy system to fruition. Terrific casting, but I expect a far more inventive "satirical biopic" from this director.
