Robert is shedding his armor for an imaginary giant Rabbit...
Well hearing the names Robert Downey, Jr. and Steven Spielberg in one sentence will give me enough reason to take a gander at this movie project.
Article from Hero Complex reads:
The official announcement may be a week or two away, but the word is that Robert Downey Jr. is poised to go down the rabbit hole in director Steven Spielberg's adaptation of "Harvey," the Pulitzer-winning stage play that reached the screen in 1950 with a beloved performance by Jimmy Stewart.
Tom Hanks and Will Smith had been among the Hollywood stars whose names were bandied about when word spread this summer that Spielberg would be updating the gentle classic about a pleasant but somewhat daft man named Elwood P. Dowd whose best pal is a tall, sentient rabbit that no one else can see.
I know Downey is a Stewart fan -- a few months ago when I visited the set of "Iron Man 2" the actor spoke with affection and awe about the late Stewart's nuanced timing and camera sense -- and it will be fascinating to see how he handles a role that Stewart sometimes called the most challenging of his career. It's not quite a done deal, Downey is waiting for a new draft of the script, but I've heard from several informed sources that it looks strong.

Though I'm not familiar with the play, but I do trust Spielberg when it comes to his story choices, from the fantastic to the historical. The guy has a good eye, and I feel he hasn't let us down yet.
