Tesla Film Will Contribute $1M into Wardenclyffe Preservation

Film will profile unheralded inventor Nikola Tesla, whose property sits in Shoreham.

Before the film "Fragments of Olympus" begins shooting, $1 million from the $4 million budget will be go toward purchasing the Wardenclyffe property in Shoreham, according to a report from Times Beacon Record Media.

The film, which profiles the life of inventor Nikola Tesla, is written by Long Island natives Joseph Sikorski and Michael Calomino. Tesla is credited with developments in radio, radar and X-rays and with building an early wireless tower.

Sikorski hopes to direct the film once the property is purchased. Part of the film will be shot on location. According to the report, actors Leo Rossi and Sean Young will star in the film. Howard J. Smith, who has worked on the Harry Potter and Matrix films, is the cinematographer.
