Release Date Announced for New Benedict Cumberbatch Film

An Oregon-based business student, Cody Gotchall enjoys volunteering at local animal shelters and soup kitchens. Beyond his educational and philanthropic endeavors, Cody Gotchall enjoys watching TV shows like Elementary, Person of Interest, and Sherlock. He counts Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch as his favorite actor. 

Since first starring as Sherlock's titular character in 2010, Cumberbatch has had lead roles in popular films like Star Trek Into Darkness, The Imitation Game, and Doctor Strange. In May it was announced that his latest film, The Current War, will be released nationwide in October 2019 by 101 Studios. It was originally scheduled for a November 2017 release, but experienced delays. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2017, but has since been cut by 10 minutes and has five new scenes.

The Current War details the competitive relationship between inventors Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse to determine whose electrical system would power the country in the new century. Cumberbatch plays the role of Edison, while Westinghouse is portrayed by Michael Shannon. The cast also includes Tom Holland, Katherine Waterston, and Matthew Macfadyen. It was written by Michael Mitnick and directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon.

OSU Catcher Adley Rutschman Generating Draft Buzz

A member of the board of directors of The Arc of Benton County, Cody Gotchall is working toward earning a transfer degree in business online. Cody Gotchall is a fan of baseball and has enjoyed following the Oregon State University (OSU) Baseball team since he was in middle school.

This year's OSU Beavers baseball team is led by one of the most-hyped prospects since Bryce Harper. Despite his success working with the team's pitching staff as a freshman, catcher Adley Rutschman struggled at the plate, hitting just .234 in the regular season and .164 the following fall in the Cape Cod League. He worked extensively on his swing during the offseason and returned to Oregon for the 2018 season as one of the best college players in the country. 

Rutschman registered a .408 batting average during his sophomore season and earned recognition as Most Outstanding Player during the 2018 College World Series. Now in his third season, the switch-hitting catcher boasted a .427 batting average to go along with 16 home runs as of May 22. As a result, he is expected to go first overall in this year's MLB Draft. Only one catcher, Joe Mauer, has been drafted in that position since 1975.
