The Feynman Chronicles

So I read this title of this article thinking, being a physicist, "How are they going to make the Feynman lectures, which while very important to physics and expecially quantum mechanics are still someone lecturing at a blackboard, into a movie?"

Then I read the article.

"Disney Opens The Feynman Chronicles

Because Indiana Jones has been away from our screens for so long, it’s only natural that young upstarts would try and take his place.

The latest in a long line of adventurers who think they’ve got what it takes the carry the bullwhip is Richard Feynman, a brilliant young physicist recruited by the US government to track down a mysterious object that falls from the sky and crashes into a remote mountain in 1940s Africa. He gets a little help from a sexy British lady spy and a cranky French pilot. But he’ll have to be swift – those dashed Nazis are after the object too…

That’s the concept for The Feynman Chronicles, a spec script by Ashley E Miller and Zack Stentz. The writing duo previously penned Agent Cody Banks 2 and worked on TV sci fi show Andromeda, which is not something anyone should really shout about. Still, Disney has snapped up their scribblings and will soon start looking for a director and cast."

Ooooooookay...
