Millennium Media‘s new project, Tesla, has found its lead in Ethan Hawke (The Magnificent Seven), who will play the famous electricity pioneer, Nikola Tesla.
Tesla is written and directed by Michael Almereyda (Cymbeline), who previously worked with Hawke on Hamlet and Cymbeline.
The film is being introduced to buyers at the European Film Market this week in Berlin.
He is also known for creating the Tesla coil, still currently used in radio technology.
