RDJ Set To Float In Gravity

A little while back, I posted a, uh... post (lol?) about Mrs. Jolie-Pitt passing on Alfonso Cuaron's upcoming project, Gravity.

Now it seems they found an answer to her departure, in none other than Robert Downey himself. With a script by Alfonso's son, Jonas (fill in your own J-bros connection jokes here____) and his father the story is set and ijn place. The details of the project are pretty much as I can see it this: Downey will play an expedition team leader at a remote space station. While he and a female colleague are traveling outside the station, an exploding satellite decimates his team inside. Angelina Jolie was once cast as Downey Jr.'s female co-star, but she has since bailed on the project. There is no word on who will replace her yet, but the script was originally developed with her in mind as most of the film revolves around her character's plight to get back to earth and reunite with her daughter.

The film will commence shooting in London this summer, just in time for him to get down to Sherlock Holmes 2 this fall, also lensing in London. As soon as I know something about who they grab to fill the shoes of the female lead, I'll let you know.

Munki Out.

And Woman Say They're Not Indecisive...

They must have 3rd degree burns on their legs from the lies their pants suffer.  

Welp, if you can't call shot's in Hollywood, what's the point of getting top billing and your name thrown all over the place right? What's the point of the high profile agent, manager, publicist, elite actor husband and all the other hooplah, right? At least that's Jolie's thinking.

First she was attached to Wanted 2, and considering that she was mostly responsible for the box office the move generated, it was pretty rest assured the studio came to the conclusion that she needed to be brought back for the second. When you take 75 milli budget and make 341,433,252 worldwide out of it, why not? 'Course, Timur Bekmambetov and James McAvory had a little something to do with it as well, but they don't have Jolie's pull. Period. And after all the prep work since LAST SUMMER, and all the script re-writes Jolie and Universal made them do for the damn thing, with only, a few weeks set before filming, she yanks herself out? Bro... Weak... And honestly, I was little excited about seeing the project come together. Sure the movie was a little shaky and had its draw backs, and the ending was a little weak, but, hell man, it was a summer popcorn flick and I was happy with what it delivered.
