Iron Man Composes Himself

The last time Robert Downey Jr danced, it was with a blunt instrument to his head in Cell Block H. Nevertheless, Cinema’s Iron Man is said to be headlining a new movie musical in the near future – potentially just as dangerous if you ask me.

Downey will reunite with his “Sherlock Holmes” pals at Warner Bros for an untitled croonfest which Brian Yorkey is writing the script and lyrics for and Tom Kitt doing the music. Downey’s producing as well as lending his voice to.

Deadline doesn’t have a lot of info on the flick, but says it’s about a couple of Broadway musical writers whose latest production flops and they’re forced to take up jobs at the music camp they attended as youngsters.

I’d say the project has definitely been egged on by the success of “Glee”. But whatever… Downey has a great voice. Those that sat right through the end credits of “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang” will know that! Heck, even those stringent “Ally McBeal” fans likely remember some of the numbers he belted out on his brief stint.

Here’s Downey’s song ”. Great isn’t it!?
