Kinnear is a Genius

Universal Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment are booked at Cinespace Film Studios in Toronto through September, shooting Flash of Genius with Greg Kinnear. The Little Miss Sunshine star will play Robert Kearns, the inventor who waged a lengthy legal battle against Detroit automakers, claiming they stole his idea for the intermittent windshield wiper. The story is reworked from a New Yorker article and marks the directing debut of producer Marc Abraham (Let’s Go to Prison, Children of Men). Lauren Graham (Evan Almighty) also stars.
