This is great news. I can’t wait. I am glad to see that there will be bonus features with this one and that one will be deleted scenes. I am hoping that some of them will be parts that were in the trailer but not in the movie. I really liked FoG and want to see it more so that I can pick up things that I missed the first time as well as just wanting to see it again.
Well, I for one will be one of the first in line to purchase Flash of Genius …..I waited for this movie to come to the theater and in never did, I was also traveling 2500 miles from home and it didn’t hit those theatres either…..I was truly disappointed, so I can’t wait for the DVD….
I can’t wait to get this DVD especially to watch the deleted sections. The family scenes, when the children were little, were filmed on our street. The “old ” cars were parked in front of our house and we watched so many scenes over and over until they were perfect. Greg Kinnear was always so friendly. It was exciting to see the snow scene…it had to be in the 90’s that day and poor Greg had to keep walking around with his winter coat on. This is so exciting!
