It's raining, it's pouring. Why not settle in for a Robert Downey, Jr. movie fest? The actor, who turns 44 on April 4th, suffered through a whirlwind romance with addiction for a few years, but seems to have hit his stride again at the box office in films like Tropic Thunder and Iron Man. Look for more Downey in the soon-to-be-released The Soloist, as an L.A. journalist who befriends a homeless classical musician, and as the title role in Sherlock Holmes, which just wrapped up filming in Europe.
In The Pickup Artist, his first leading role, Downey plays opposite Molly Ringwald as a quick-talking player who realizes he's met the woman of his dreams. Unfortunately, she and her father(Dennis Hopper) have money troubles with the mob. What will Downey do? Hilarity ensues.
He appears as journalist Joseph Wershba in Good Night, and Good Luck, the multiple award-winning story of journalist Edward R. Murrow's battle to bring down Joseph McCartney.
And as the smarmy Dr. Kozac in The Shaggy Dog, the 2006 remake that placed Tim Allen in Fred MacMurray's role as a shapeshifting deputy district attorney who sets out to thwart the evil doctor's plans to acquire the elixir for immortality. What will Allen do? Hilarity ensues.
And then there was last year's megahit Iron Man. According to a recent tweet by director Jon Favreau, Iron Man 2 has the cast on site and is set to begin filming in L.A. on Monday (April 6). Rumors abound concerning the final cast, though Mickey Rourke (as "Whiplash") and Scarlett Johansson (as "the Black Widow") look to be definite.
Check the catalog for these titles.
