Robert Downey Jr. Will Star in Harvey?

In an article about Steven Spielberg's Abraham Lincoln opus, Variety reports that Spielberg is presently focusing on his "reimagining" of Harvey with Robert Downey Jr. possibly playing the man who sees an invisible rabbit.

Spielberg's Lincoln yarn reportedly was to focus on the president's anguish over the length and toll of the Civil War. The script is being revised by Tony Kushner.

Harvey was released in 2011.

    Spielberg's making a stoner film... ;)

    And I agree with err. Robert Downey Jr. has a voice that makes me laugh in plain conversation (sort of like a toned-down Owen Wilson).

    i would totally watch robert downey jr talking to his imaginary friend for 2 hours for i imagine that would be very amusing.

    so technically this will be the 3rd remake to harvey

    The TV version with Leslie Nielson sucked and did very bad, so i guess this will follow suit i doubt the names Spielberg and Downey will save it, yes they'll bring in an auidence

    speaking of remakes and i know this is off subject.But i'm really beginning to think highly of the remake kick hollywood is on(though i firmly believe that some classics should be left alone.)and its just my opinion.But if you ask me,I think its great,i've seen a few of the remade movies then checked out the classic from which it was derived and I think what hollywood is trying to do is get a younger crowd into the classics and gain a bigger fan base for said classics not to mention make money for their broke ass state

    Downey should start being a little more selective with his projects...This will probably be decent though... I just really hate remakes.

    Plz RDJ...if you have any moral sense just like Tom Hanks, just say NOOOOO.
