1905 movie network news With the continuous exposure and fermentation of the sexual assault on several female stars by harvey weinstein, the founder of Varnstam Company, the films under the name of Varnstam Company have finally been affected, especially those that are expected to participate in the Oscar competition. Recently, it was reported that the release of "Battle of Electricity" under the name of Varnstam Company was postponed.

"Battle of Power" was originally scheduled for November 24, 2017, which is a traditional shopping day in the United States, Black Friday. However, due to the consideration of box office, word of mouth and Oscar, Varnstam has postponed the film to 2018. Although the exact time is unknown, it is an indisputable fact that the film has been "dealt with". However, as long as the film is released before the closing time of Oscar registration, there is still hope that "Battle of Electricity" will participate in the Oscar.

Earlier reports pointed out that even if the film can enter the Oscar finals, it is also a technical award. In terms of art awards, the film has not made much achievements. Although there are two power entrepreneurs, Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, in the film, the story does not tell the process of the invention of electricity, but focuses on the "commercial war".

Historically, Edison, played by benedict cumberbatch, was the inventor of direct current, while Westinghouse Electric, founded by westinghouse, took the lead in introducing high-voltage alternating current into the transmission system in the United States, breaking the situation that direct current dominated the world. The film "Battle of Electricity" will use dramatic methods to reproduce this unique confrontation that took place in the era of the second industrial revolution. It is worth mentioning that this is also the second time that Benny plays a genius after Van Gogh (), Hawking (), Sherlock Holmes () and Turing ().

The Battle of Electricity was directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rehong, the director of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, and Michael Mitnick () wrote the script for the film. Other stars include nicholas hoult (Tesla), katherine waterston (House’s wife) and Tom Holland (Edison’s assistant).

Judging from the current situation, Varnstam Company has not made large-scale adjustments to many of its films, only the War of Electric Power has been affected. It is almost the same schedule of "Pat Li De" and none of them have changed their schedules.
