Robert Downey Jr. Will Not Star in GRAVITY, Now Circling HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS

After trying for weeks to work the project into his schedule, Robert Downey Jr. has officially dropped out of talks to star in Alfonso Cuaron’s Gravity.  The sci-fi 3D flick has been one of the most talked about projects around town.  Sandra Bullock is attached to star in the ambitious flick which is supposedly similar to 2000’s Cast Away, in that the female lead is the only actor on screen for the bulk of the film. Bullock stars as an astronaut adrift in space attempting to get back to her ship.  Downey was trying to fit the film into his increasingly very busy schedule.  He’s currently filming the sequel to last year’s Sherlock Holmes, The Avengers begins filming early next year, and he’s also attached to star in Disney’s Oz: The Great and Powerful to be directed by Sam Raimi.

Heat Vision reports that Downey is now eyeing Fox’s How to Talk to Girls.  Based upon a book written by a 9-year old boy revolving around advice on how to deal with the opposite sex, Downey is looking to also produce the film with his wife and producing partner Susan Downey.  A draft of the script already exists, but Susan Downey will apparently take over the project and develop it as a Downey-starring vehicle.
