Einstein old & young in first look Genius pictures

The first images of Geoffrey Rush and Johnny Flynn as enigmatic scientist Albert Einstein have surfaced, giving us a look at the genius as a young man and in his later years.

The photos have surfaced from the set of National Geographic Channel’s upcoming anthology series “Genius”.

Based on Walter Isaacson’s biography of the celebrated scientist, “Genius” will chart how an imaginative, rebellious patent clerk, who couldn’t get a teaching job or a doctorate, unlocked the mysteries of the atom and the universe. Each episode will explore Einstein’s extraordinary scientific achievements, along with his volatile, passionate and complex personal relationships.
