Well,if Tesla was anti-semitic,he certainly had no reason to be.He was Serbian.Hitler stated in 1939 that the three groups he hated the most were the Serbs,the Jews,and the Communists.In that order.Sometimes we must overlook the bad.Jimi Hendrix died of an OD and I detest drugs.But I don't reject his music.Can't we be that way about Tesla after all these years?The fact that he seemed to be asexual and eccentric and all this other stuff would tend to play down any anti-semitism.OK,he was kind of a nut.But genius.BK

I think it might not get made due to the antisemetic factor. While that was common in his day it's not looked on so favorably these days. Thomas Edison was too as was Henry Ford. Since Hollywood is pretty Jewish it's doubtful they would want to back a movie like that. Now before anyone gets on me, I was born and raised Jewish so I'm not saying this is a positive.

Actually, I don't think someone will ever come to the idea of popularizing Nikola Tesla. So far, the furthest they came was to put David Bowie to play Tesla in this year's blockbuster The Prestige.
Edison and Einstein got there first (I mean they became stars), and the world doesn't seem to popularize scientists that much, so Tesla couldn't find his spot under the stars. And, he didn't even care to become popular, he truly loved his science. It's just the way it is.
They always give credit to Edison for the discovery of electricity, but guess who did it first? It was Tesla, of course. There are so many more of his discoveries like electro-magnetic induction and stuff like that.
And what's that BS about him being antisemitic, just like you said, he was Serb, and Serbs and Jewish were on the same side during the world war 2, they were all killed or taken to those Nazi camps.
I may be a bit extreme about proving Tesla's way, but it's probably because I'm a Serbian girl.
And finally, Tesla may not be widely popular in the rest of the world, but he certainly is a star here in Serbia and in Croatia, where people appreciate what he did for the mankind.

I think he was smarter than Einstein. Perhaps he should for tv only.
