Robert Downey Jr. With an ass kicking SHERLOCK HOLMES in the works and another turn as Tony Stark aka Iron Man currently cooking, Robert Downey Jr. is so hot right now, he could take a dump in a bowl and there'd be bidding war over the rights to his turd. Or whatever less disgusting analogy works for you. According to "Production Weekly", he and Reese Witherspoon are in talks to star in what they describe as "an alien invastion time travel" flick titled DAYS BEFORE. And what could be better than an alien invasion time travel flick starring The Downey? How bout WANTED director Timur Bekmambetov in talks to direct the shit out of this bad boy? Well, probably not the best news to everyone but still, this sounds promising.

Extra Tidbit: Downey apparently wore lifts in IRON MAN.

The script recently sold for pretty big bucks and the concept is pretty cool. It's basically about aliens going back in time to wipe out the human race and the protag has to attempt to stay one step ahead or behind as the case may be. Could be cool.

80's
This would have worked in the 80's. Bekmambtonostory should stick to making commercials and music videos.

My best guess as to what that premise means: There's an alien invasion and then people travel back in time to prevent the invasion from ever happening. At least that seems like the most obvious explanation.

Can't say that premise exactly wows me, but Downey is one of the few actors which genuinely seems to elevate any film he's in.

I was down until I saw Bekmambetov's name was attached.

I'm into any movie that Robert Downey Jr. does because he is a great actor and most of his films and performances have been great.

Not sure about the film?
1st off not overly excited about the above mentioned films premise? BUT since "Saturday Night Live" season 11 1985-'86 -I've been a fan of Jr.! Of course Downey Jr.'s dad the "Sr." has long been an SNL staple. Robert Jr. is lookin' good on screen these days and I'm glad his film career is now in full swing!
