Well, this is one in the eye for Yahoo Serious. Lionsgate is planning a movie based on the early years of Albert Einstein, thereby brazenly challenging Young Einstein's authority as quintessential biopic of the big-haired genius. It's said it may call into question Young Einstein's assertions that the relativity theoriser was a whizz on an electric guitar and a bit of a ginger. These are dangerous times indeed.
Lionsgate's factual movie (Young Einstein was obviously a – very bad and weird – comedy) is based on Walter Isaacson's biography, Einstein: His Life and Universe and is planned to focus on his personal problems and romantic philandering – the budding scientist was apparently quite the ladies' man in his younger days.
This all, of course, begs the question of who should play Einstein? Who do you think has the necessary mix of smarts, roguishness and big hair?
