The Express, Flash of Genius
November 25, 2008
Universal has two underperforming biopics on the schedule.
The Express, following Ernie Davis, the first African-American to win the Heisman Trophy, will arrive on Jan. 20. The $9.5 million-grossing movie will be priced at $29.98 on DVD and $39.98 on Blu-ray.
On Feb. 17, Universal will ride out the $3.7 million-grossing Flash of Genius, about the college professor who took on the Detroit automakers that stole his idea for the intermittent windshield wiper. It will bow on DVD only, priced at $29.98.
They both have interesting stories and star names -- The Express stars Dennis Quaid and Flash of Genius has Greg Kinnear -- so both stand to overperform on DVD.
Here's the extras package for the Express DVD:
• Deleted Scenes with Optional Commentary by Director Gary Fleder
• Making of The Express
• Making History: The Story of Ernie Davis
• Inside the Playbook: Shooting the Football Games

• From Hollywood to Syracuse: The Legacy of Ernie Davis

And here's Flash of Genius' offerings:

• Feature Commentary with Director Marc Abraham
