Uhhhhh. . . .

Travis McGee? No way.

Nicole Sperling | Hollywood Insider | Blog | Movies | Music | TV: Entertainment Weekly: "Robert Downey Jr. is being courted by studios that want to help him sustain his much-heralded comeback. Following his role in the year's highest-grossing movie so far (Iron Man), he's once again on their must-have list. In recent weeks, the 43-year old actor has had his eye on various projects, including Twentieth Century Fox's Travis McGee (based on John D. MacDonald's detective series), Warner Bros.' Sherlock Holmes update from director Guy Ritchie, Gary Ross' fantasy/comedy Dog Years at Universal, and, as previously reported by EW.com, Brett Ratner's Hugh Hefner biopic, among others. Hmmm... Robert Downey Jr. in a smoking jacket, surrounded by Bunnies? We can totally see it."

I have a lot less trouble with Downey, Jr. being involved in the McGee project, than I do with Guy Ritchie. Tell me where there has been any indication of HIS talent?

stilwell

As much as I liked Downey, Jr. in Iron Man, I have trouble visualizing him as either Travis McGee or Sherlock Holmes.
And as for Guy Ritchie, his talent(?) has been commented on in a previous post.
