Production
During production, the director denied that claim. Writer and film director David J. Burke claimed that the name "Edison" was derived from its common association with the inventor and business leader Thomas Edison, which led to thoughts of "electricity, power and industry."[2]
Release
The film was originally supposed to see a US release in the spring of 2005, however, due to its universal panning from critics after its screening at the Toronto Film Festival, its release to cinemas in the US and most other countries was cancelled. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released the film, originally titled Edison, as Edison Force, direct–to–video on July 18, 2006.[3] The film was released in theaters in the Netherlands on March 12, 2006.
