Infinity (1996) was pretty good

I don't know, he's a pretty controversial figure at this point. Womanizing to the extent that he did has soured a lot of people on him. So you couldn't have just a fun movie where he's playing the bongos and cracking safes.

@jonsimon Give him an Iron Man arc. Fast cars and pretty women at the beginning, a happily married professor at the end. You get to show all the fun stuff and still sell it to audiences who think that's bad, win-win

@Frogswap except that was exactly backwards -- he didn't go off the rails wrt women until his first wife died, AFAIK

@ArmandodiMatteo My impression was that it was more of a U-shaped curve, and that he was in a healthy relationship for the last couple decades as well. Iron Man had the same thing, a tragic backstory does a lot for making asshole behavior sympathetic.

I think the success of Oppenheimer and Hollywood's lack of originality pushes this to >50%. Feynman had a small role, at least relative to the size of his personality.

@Frogswap There are WAY more interesting things about Feynman's life, and of his character and persona, than the manhatten project

@firstuserhere Oh, for sure. And he would have crowded out Oppenheimer anyway. But there's a huge opportunity here- a character with 10x the sex appeal, lots of the dialogue is already written, and we've just proven an audience exists for such things. I'm thinking about going higher.

Lol, have you really seen that movie or are Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V giving that recommendation?

I would love to see this!
