You might think a glossy Hollywood biopic about Thomas Edison starring Benedict Cumberbatch alongside Michael Shannon, Nicholas Hoult, Tom Holland and Tuppence Middleton would be a sure-fire money-spinner. But think again, because The Current War has been in the can since late 2017 and it's only now getting a release. Why has the film suffered this fate? Well, primarily because it's got Harvey Weinstein's gross-ass fingerprints all over it.
