The next big screen flick from the house of Disney will be called Electric Boy Genius. Inspired and based on a true story of 2002 GQ article about young inventor and electrical engineering wunderkind Ryan Patterson. At the age of 17 Patterson invented an electronic sign-language device that used sensors in a glove to translate specific hand movements into letters on screen (Sounds Cool).
Ryan was winner at the 2001 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair that gave him a job working in aerospace robotics for Lockheed Martin.

Movie will be directed by John Lee Hancock who directed The Blind Side and script will be written by Doug Wright. Wright is foremost a playwright, even receiving the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his 2004 play, I Am My Own Wife, but he also adapted his play Quills to positive results.
