Robert Downey Jr in Negotiations to Play Vampire

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:08:55 +0000

Vampire movies are all the rage again, so Robert Downey Jr. is in negotiations to reprise the role of Lestat Du Lioncort that Tom Cruise made famous in the 1994 movie Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles, which co-starred Brad Pitt as Louis de Pointe du Lac.

The new movie is to be a prequel, which is actually a bit of a problem, since Lestat was about 20 years-old when he was turned into a vampire. Despite the age discrepancy, any chance to see Downey work his acting magic on the silver screen is a privilege.

Sherlock Holmes Movie Trailer

The Sherlock Holmes movie trailer is finally online, and it looks good. Guy Ritchie directed this movie during his divorce from Madonna, and with a cast including Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Mark Strong, and Rachel McAdams it looks like a hit.

Despite being another remake, it looks like Downey could have landed another starring role in another profitable franchise.

The movie hits theaters on Christmas Day.

Love the short man’s high heels.

Robert Downey Jr. Six Pack Abs

Robert Downey Jr. showed off very real looking six pack abs in a still shot from his upcoming Sherlock Holmes movie, which is directed by happily divorce Guy Ritchie. Abs can easily be airbrushed. Remember the movie 300?

Robert Downey Jr is Bisexual

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 15:45:13 +0000

Robert Downey, Jr. told The Times magazine in an interview:

"A lot of my peer group think I’m an eccentric bisexual. That’s OK. Being relaxed about sexuality is something you’re born with.’ My identity was written on the wall by ancient and formidable guides and forces. The best thing I can do is keep my hand out of it."

Being bisexual is only halfway to being a homo, which is a halfa$$ed approach. It probably helps to be bisexual in Hollywood, especially when you’ve got a director who fancies you, but is also having a hard time deciding if you’re right for the part.

Robert Doweny Jr Bashes The Dark Knight

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:37:40 +0000

Robert Downey Jr said in a recent interview that he saw The Dark Knight Batman movie, but he just didn’t get it. Downey said:

"My whole thing is that that I saw ’The Dark Knight’. I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get how many things that are so smart. It’s like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I’m like, ’That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’ I loved ’The Prestige’ but didn’t understand ’The Dark Knight’. Didn’t get it, still can’t tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I’m like, ’I get it. This is so high brow and so f–king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’ You know what? F-ck DC comics. That’s all I have to say and that’s where I’m really coming from."

"You know, you’re never too old to burn your bridges because I believe I have offended everyone," he says, laughingly. "I think I’ve got a couple more. ’I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it’ is my favourite phrase I’ve ever coined."

Downey praised Iron Man, and said he had a good feeling about it, but didn’t expect it to be so big. Iron Man was big, but not bigger than The Dark Knight. Despite Downey’s harsh words for Batman, he’d still sign a deal with DC Comics if they offered.

Robert Downey Jr. to Play Sherlock Holmes

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 02:56:20 +0000

Guy Ritchie scored one of the hottest stars in Hollywood right now to play in his new Sherlock Holmes movie, and that star is Robert Downey Jr. Ritchie will be directing, and starts shooting this fall for Warner Bros.

Another movie also being filmed about Holmes will be made by Columbia Pictures, who recently announced that Judd Apatow would produce a comic take on Holmes, to star Borat’s Sacha Baron Cohen as the super sleuth, and Will Ferrell as his sidekick, Dr. Watson.

Looks like we’re going to have to see both movies.

Tropic Thunder Viral Video and Trailer

Hollywood Grind — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 19:35:34 +0000

Ben Stiller decided he wanted to make a viral video to promote Tropic Thunder, with the help of his nephew. Ben got Robert Downey Jr., and Jack Black to star in it. It’s pretty funny.

Below is the actual Tropic Thunder movie trailer, which is a lot funnier. Too bad Owen Wilson dropped out of the movie.

Iron Man Crushes Speed Racer

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 12 May 2008 00:01:05 +0000

Iron Man continues to crush the competition with domestic receipts totalling $177.1 million, and the international total reaching a whopping $276.1 million.

Speed Racer, which cost $200 million, has been a huge bomb this weekend with opening receipts totalling a dismal $20.2 million. Bombs don’t get much worse than this. Looks like Christina Ricci will need to keep working on her silver screen comeback.

Some of the other studios are claiming that Warner Brothers isn’t fudging the total take for Speed Racer, to make it look like they had a second place finish. If that’s true, then Speed Racer is a complete disaster.

Robert Downey Jr., who played Tony Stark in Iron Man, is already signed to reprise his role in the Iron Man sequel scheduled to be released in April of 2010.

Robert Downey Jr Kickin it in His Driveway

Robert Downey Jr. (43) was practicing with his martial arts instructor in his driveway on Wednesday. It may have been just a photo op, but who cares, Downey’s new movie Iron Man is a box office mega hit. It’s so nice to see Downey back on top after going through such hard times.

After the workout, Downey had lunch with his son and a friend. His son must be super stoked that his dad is a super hero … in the movies.
