The film was originally set to release near the end of 2017, but, since the movie was being produced by The Weinstein Company, which has been going through a major scandal since last year, the film has been put on a shelf.
If you’re a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch, or historical movies, you may remember seeing a trailer several months ago for a movie called The Current War that has still yet to see the light of day.
While one might expect having his work be put away like that might upset Cumberbatch, the actor says that he’s more than happy to let the movie hold off on being released, even for years, if that’s what is necessary to distance the movie from the studio, and the man, as much as possible.
