05/23/08 - Sascha Penn will adapt Stuart Gibbs' debut novel The Last
Equation for Lionsgate. In the novel, mystery surrounds Pandora,
Albert Einstein's last equation. The Pandora equation had the potential
to solve the world's energy problems, but it so drastically simplified
the process of harnessing atomic energy that it essentially made it
possible for anyone to create atomic weaponry. Because of the risks,
Einstein either hid or destroyed the equation before his death.
Equation takes place in the present day as the government is
forced to enlist the help of a fugitive criminal and mathematical genius
to find the equation before it falls into the wrong hands. |
