Serbian actor/producer Vladimir Rajcic and Oscar winning producer Branko Lustig (SCHLINDER'S LIST, GLADIATOR) are preparing a huge film about famous Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla. TESLA RULER OF THE WORLDwill focus on the events in Tesla's life which are linked to modern day technological crisis. Acclaimed historical figures such as Thomas Edison, J.P. Morgan and George Westinghouse will all play prominent roles in the film. Tesla has invented alternating current as well as 750 other patents introducing the world to the fundamentals of robotry, computers, missile science, space-age

technologies,  satellites, microwaves, beam weapons, an nuclear fusion. Many claim that he created the 21st century because the modern world would not exist without his inventions. Tesla will be played by Vladimir Rajcic himself (although there are rumors that the role has been offered to Christian Bale as well), and another two Serbian actors who work in Hollywood are already in the cast - Rade Serbedgia and Lolita Davidovich, while Nicolas Cage could take the role of Thomas Edison. The producers are negotiating with other A league stars for other roles and there are rumors that Mike Newell could direct the film.
