Serbian media reports that the film “Tesla, the Ruler of the World” is soon to be filmed in Serbia.
Representatives of Hollywood’s prestigious Universal Studios recently visited Belgrade and Serbia, scouting for locations for the film.
“Over a period of several days we have visited dozens of locations in Belgrade and throughout Serbia, visiting film studios etc… and the representatives of ‘Universal’ have left, satisfied and agreeing that ‘Tesla’ will be shot here,” said Vladimir Rajačić, writer and co-owner of VPR Productions, which is largely behind this movie.
The script follows the length of Tesla’s life, with an emphasis on his most creative and productive years.
The film has won the support of the American and Serbian governments, with both financial and marketing support.
The life story of the great scientist will be screened as a 3-D blockbuster production.
It has been speculated that Christian Bale will most probably play Nikola Tesla.
Also, according to website, The Hollywood Reporter, another movie about Tesla is soon to be filmed.
Oscar winner George Clooney is reportedly in early talks to star in the tentatively titled 1952 (aka Tesla) that Brad Bird will direct from a screenplay by Damon Lindelof.
The plot of the secrecy-shrouded sci-fi film “is being kept under wraps, although it has been described as being in the vein of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Steven Spielberg’s 1970s movie about a man searching for extra-terrestrial life on Earth.”
Both 1952 and Tesla are said to be merely code names for the project and not actual working titles for the movie, which will be the first Disney pic of his career.
