The August 18 issue of Entertainment Weekly is online, and it confirms that The Current War comes out November 24. It's their Fall Movie Preview issue, but they only have a small mention of TCW, while featuring some other movies in detail. I'm going to take that as a sign that they'll devote more space to it as we get closer to the opening date! The only other movie coming out that day is Call me by your Name. Coming out two days earlier, on November 22, are Coco, Darkest Hour, Death Wish, and Molly's Game. Someone asked to the Jason guy and he said his "source" is indeed EW magazine Fall preview. So I guess we have two sources now: the art house theatre and the magazine.

That is great news about TCW! I couldn't care less about Mary Magdalena - never intended to go to that anyway. But the earlier exposure for TCW could mean that it has real Oscar nom potential for BC (and that is means more RC and exposure for him). I feel like playing "Walking on Sunshine" to express my joy... ... for a number of "reasons"! 😘http://instagram.com/p/BXfBzTdnlvH :-))

They are going to be disappointed if what they show of Tesla is a caricature, according to what people here commented on the script the script. I hope it won't be as bad... This sounds so weird talking of these electricity pioneers from ages ago lol but Tesla has a "following", he is very popular among a certain type of crowd. Like internet-savvy geeks (saying this with kindness, not scorn!) So I wouldn't want TCW to anger them, cause they are vocal.

There are always going to be some people who have a bit in their teeth about something, so I personally don't think it is a thing to worry about. If you make your movie (or TV show) with an eye over your shoulder about not offending one group or another it will sap the life out of your creation. :-))

I'm already prepared for the anger of the Tesla crowd. Of course they're going to have a hissy. Anything that portrays him as someone other than a mystical genius from another world, gathering electricity with his bare hands and eating it for breakfast ticks them off, lol.
Personally, I liked the Tesla that Bowie played in The Prestige. He was appropriately genius-y and strange.
I'm looking forward to this movie. I love bio pics, and Edison hasn't really been portrayed as anything other than a benevolent genius ala Spencer Tracy, so this should be interesting.

EW's schedule of film releases only goes to the end of December, and Mary Magdalene is not on it.

Thanks, mllemass! And wow! I wonder what Weinstein will do with that movie. You never know with him!

I'd bet there are some production (editing, re-shoots, whatever) issues with MM and TCW is already finished and polished and thus it got MM's date. Harvey's probably sweating about his non-success (relative to his own track record, not film-making in general lol) at the Oscars lately, isn't TIG his last movie that did really well? So that would suggest he'll be throwing his weight on the one movie of his this year that has a legit shot (TCW.)

They finished MM much more earlier than TCW so I doubt it's not finished yet. If it's true and it disappears of his schedule then surely, HE has issues with it. It doesn't mean it's bad. He uses to do these changes all the time. It just mean he is not happy with it but of course it's not a good sign at all!
Last year, Lion was also a success without mentioning non-Oscar movie, Paddington. He has had a lot of failures, tho. Some of them are movies he just discarded. I guess if they are really so indie like they say they are and don't have the money to stand for all their productions then those are decisions they just have to do.
