Ok, so just about everyone around here knows I’m a Nicole Kidman fan. This lady is not only seriously beautiful but also carries some serious acting chops. Then there’s Robert Downey Jr…. a guy whose drug problems stopped him (and I’m being serious) from having probably one of the best acting careers of our generation.
Downey has been rock solid in every single project he’s been involved in and would probably have 2 or 3 Oscars to his name by now if it wasn’t for his screwed up personal life.
Now, the good folks over at Guardian Unlimited are reporting that these two are set to begin filming a project together starting next month called “Fur”. Here’s and excerpt:
A new film starring Nicole Kidman and Robert Downey Jr. about the life of photographer Diane Arbus will be shot at Brooklyn’s new Steiner Studios. The movie will be based on Patricia Bosworth’s “Diane Arbus: A Biography.” Arbus, known for her photo images of eccentric personalities from the 1950s and ’60s, committed suicide in 1971.
Sounds good to me. Here’s hoping Downey can really get back on track with his career and more importantly his life. He’s still young enough to leave a mark if he does.
