Electric Dude(s)

Black Mass’ Benedict Cumberbatch (obviously pictured here) and Everest’s Jake Gyllenhaal are going to....

Yeah, I can’t even finish that sentence without acknowledging my excitement. I am excited.

I mean, the Cumber-stud and Jakey-bear in a movie together? Yes, please!

The actors are circling The Current War, a drama set in the 19th century about the feud over the future of electricity. The Gyllen-yum would play George Westinghouse, while Cumberbatch would portray Thomas Edison.

Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) is considering calling the shots from behind the camera.
