Steven Spielberg's "Harvey"

[Doctor Jones]

RBJ in a Spielberg film? Okay, I'm in.

You know, I love Downey, but he's apparently become Hollywood "go to guy" for strange or eccentric roles, and I can't say that I love this choice.

It may get annoying to some how many roles he seems to be getting but I just think of it as making up for lost time.

 

[Doctor Jones]

He has every right to. I mean how many hollywood actors can make a comeback like Downey? He has been embraced again and more than ever I say let him be a great actor again. And the more he does such great things, the less we forget about his past.

Seriously.

I would love to see that project come to life. Liam Neeson in the role would be great.

While I agree, Neeson would be great in the role, something tells me this should go to an American Actor. Seriously do american film actors exist anymore?

No Harvey for Steven Spielberg

Steven Spielberg will no longer direct the Harvey remake at 20th Century Fox, reports Variety.

The studio was preparing an early 2010 start for the film, an adaptation of Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize-winning play about a man who befriends a six and a half foot tall invisible rabbit.

The trade says the project has been a challenge to pull together since Spielberg committed last August. One of the biggest challenges has been setting a star to play Elwood P. Dowd, the character played by James Stewart in the 1950 film. Spielberg's first choice was Tom Hanks, but he didn't want to take over a role played by Stewart. Spielberg and Fox also courted Robert Downey Jr. who never committed but did make suggestions on rewrites.

It it unknown what Spielberg may direct instead. You can see a list of possible projects here, but really, we would suggest Jurassic Park 4 to Spielberg!

 

[Aesop Rocks]

yay now he can do Jurassic Park 4!

 

[:eek:]

I'd rather see him do Interstellar than another Jurassic Park movie

 

[Octoberist]

what is UP with Interstellar?
