There are many things in life that director Brett Ratner (Rush Hours) wants in life and he wants Robert Downey Jr. badly, but not in an uncomfortable way badly
It was reported not too long ago that biopic movie of Hugh Heffner titled PLAYBOY is in the planning.
And Hugh wants Robert Downey Jr. to play him.
The name Brett Ratner has been rumored as the one to helm the project and he’s second the motion.
“Robert Downey Jr. agreed to do it based on the script,” the director says. “We’re gonna hand him the script very shortly. He loves the character and the role and we’ve been meeting with him on it. So, if he wants to do it, we’re excited to have him.” Ratner adds, “We wanted him before Iron Man so we were ahead of the curve.”
I hate to say this, cause I’m not really a fan of Brett Ratner’s work, I think he ruined X-Men 3, but I admit… in my opinion, he’s the man for the job… to direct this movie.
No confirmation from Robert Downey Jr. on whether or not he’s on board.
Maybe he just can’t wait to put on the Iron Man suit again instead of the silk red pajamas.
