Tesla Movie
Famous
motion picture director, Ken Russell, has announced filming to begin this
summer on a dramatic biography tentatively titled Tesla and Katherine.
Russell, whose cinema credits include The Rainbow, Gothic,
Crimes of Passion, The Boyfriend and French Dressing among
others, is often controversial in his film treatments. As mentioned in a March
24th, 2002 article in the London Sunday Telegraph, Russell plans to
savage Edison for his ruthless tactics in opposing Tesla's Alternating Current
system in the famous "War of the Currents." The Society has provided certain
background material to the film's Producer. Cast has yet to be announced.

Society Media
Support
The Society's mission is to honor and perpetuate the memory
and ideals of Nikola Tesla in an accurate manner. The Society actively
cooperates with film and video producers to provide technical support and
personality insight on Tesla through on-camera interviews; use of memorabilia
and photos; and referrals to knowledgeable individuals. The Society requires
end credit recognition for itself (and the Tesla Museum, if appropriate) and
copies of completed programs for Society archives. Similar support is available
to all forms of print media. For a summary of recent Society media support,
please access the Society website or contact the Society directly.
