Katee Sackhoff is a Sexy Evil Genius

Katee Sackhoff from Syfy’s Battlestar Galactica reboot has signed on to play in Scott Lew’s Sexy Evil Genius as the title character. While one could normally wax on about Sackhoff and her sexy, captivating look, the fascinating thing about this story is the writer. Lew suffers from Lou Gehrig’s Disease, the same thing that has caused Stephen Hawking’s condition as well as, well, Lou Gehrig. For those of you who know a thing or two about ALS, as it’s also called, you know how it shuts down the body altogether.

Given the nature of his malady, Lew has forged a memorable, albeit brief, career. He wrote Sexy Evil Genius with the help of an infrared dot on his forehead that he would use to pick out letters when writing his screenplay, reports THR. He is a quadriplegic and in June lost all ability to speak. Whether or not Lew lives to see his creation finally grace the big screen, what he’s accomplished in selling this screenplay and serving as writer and director for Bickford Shmeckler’s Cool Ideas, this is nothing short of remarkable. Sexy Evil Genius will feature Sackhoff as a woman, who unites a group of strangers, who all share one thing in common: they once dated her. Her motive: revenge.
