| The Magic Mike star is attached to a proposed big screen adaptation of the book Struck By Genius, by Jason Padgett and Maureen Ann Seaberg. The memoir recounts how a violent mugging changed Padgett’s life forever: he had been an extrovert, fun-seeking college dropout scraping a living as a struggling futon salesman. Following the attack he developed acquired savant syndrome, which manifested via a newfound ability to understand complex maths and physics concepts. Padgett now works as an artist illustrating the complex geometric shapes he sees all around him. | The Magic Mike star is attached to a proposed big screen adaptation of the book Struck By Genius, by Jason Padgett and Maureen Ann Seaberg.
