I am Iron Man: June 2010

Hey all! Olivia here! Yes, I will admit. I had forgotten this little gem of a website. But I am here now, and I bring news :)

So, unless you have been living under a rock for the past few weeks (i'm not here to judge) you have probably been hearing a lot of rumors involving RDJ and various movies.
The newest and biggest rumor is Robert staring in a movie named Oz: The Great and Powerful. Oz is said to be a prequel to Wizard Of Oz, and will be directed by Sam Raimi. Robert would be playing Oz before he became the great and powerful wizard he was in WoO. I personally would love to see Robert as this character, but Sam Raimi and the idea of messing with Wizard of Oz rubs me the wrong way.

This is what he said about the project at the Gene Siskel Film Institute when he accepted their Renaissance Award. This is from the Chicago Tribune:

When asked about reports linking him to the role of the Wizard in Disney's "Wizard of Oz" prequel, "Oz: The Great and Powerful," the 45-year-old actor said he "might" be on board the 3-D film.

“Now Sam Raimi looks like he’s going to be at helm of it,” said Downey, who attended the benefit with his wife and Schaumburg native Susan. “My management firm says it might be a go. I’ll hook up with Sam and see what he thinks.”

The next movie idea floating around is for a little film named Gravity, which Robert has been rumored to play a supporting role in. Honestly? I have no idea what the news on this is. I'm not even really sure what's it about. I think something about space and NASA and whatnot.

And last, but certainly not least is the thought of Robert playing Edgar Allen Poe in a movie. Which. I. Would. Love. But it's the one least likely of coming true. Robert has shown his interest in it, as well as Sylvester Stallone (who wrote the script and wants to direct), but the only problem is getting the idea off the ground. I really hope this movie pulls through. RDJ playing Poe sounds brilliant, and Scorsese has even called Stallones script "Oscar worthy"

Seems that everyone wants a piece of Downey! Plus we still have Due Date, Sherlock 2, AND AVENGERS!<3 So expect to be seeing a lot of Robert soon!
