At some point in the recent past we reported that Angelina Jolie was maybe, probably, going to star in Alfonso Cuaron’s “Gravity”, a tale about a couple of astronauts tinkering around outside of a “remote” space station when it gets hit with space junk. To further complicate the matter it seems that now Jolie is out and on to other things. I had feverish visions of Jolie in a skin tight spacesuit but alas, it’s not to be.
Instead we have word (from Deadline New York) that Robert Downey Jr. will also, maybe, probably, be replacing Jolie, right before he films another Sherlock Holmes epic for Guy Ritchie. Alfonso Cuaron (“Children Of Men”) is filming in London in the summer and that just fits perfectly with the Sherlock filming, going principal in the fall. As far as I’m concerned, Robert can star in everything. I never get tired of him.
