That was my exact reaction too.
And this is a tv movie so we won't have to wait ages for it to come out.
I also found something about the plot:
Man has lost his short-term memory after an aneurysm three years ago, and can barely keep his life on track with a series of post-it notes and electronicreminders. Formerly a cutting-edge astro-physicist, He now deals with his new life.
I'm guessing Alexis will play his girlfriend/wife.
