For legendary movie director Ron Howard, the science and tech realm is filled with dramatic stories just waiting to be told with some Hollywood flair. Some of Howard's latest projects -- including National Geographic series "Mars," "Breakthrough," and "Genius" -- use scripted drama and documentary elements to tell engrossing stories about everything from space exploration to clean energy production and the life of Albert Einstein. The Academy-Award winning filmmaker, known for the film "A Beautiful Mind" and the cult-hit TV series "Arrested Development," sat down with CNN recently and explained why he's enamored with science. "More than ever, science is changing our lives," Howard said. "This is a time to remind audiences how important science can be, how important it's been to us in the past, and what the possibilities are for the future."
