Robert Downey Jr. is undoubtedly a creative force to be reckoned with but his plan of remaking Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo seems to be a step too far.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Robert Downey Jr.'s plans of remaking Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo may sound intriguing on paper, but it is a step too far for the Iron Man star. Adapted from the French novel D'entre les morts, Vertigo follows detective John “Scottie” Ferguson , who has a debilitating fear of heights.
According to reports, a remake of Hitchcock's magnum opus is under development, and Robert Downey Jr. is being considered for playing the leading role. Robert Downey Jr. shared his insights on his involvement with the movie , confirming that he and his team are "looking into" remaking Vertigo. To express his optimism toward the project, RDJ also said that "we can do better," indicating how he believes they can somehow improve Hitchcock's Vertigo in the remake.
Often touted as one of the greatest movies ever made, and rightfully so, Vertigo puts Alfred Hitchcock's impeccable directorial skills on full display. Everything from its intense color palette to its haunting score from Bernard Herrmann has been done masterfully, creating a captivating cinematic experience that allows audiences to gradually immerse themselves deeper and deeper into the many layers of the main character's psyche.
Vertigo Will Only Make RDJ's Remake Curse Worse Robert Downey Jr. has already experienced a fair share of box office bombs when it comes to movie remakes. For instance, Dolittle was critically panned and only grossed $251.5 million worldwide against a budget of $175–192.4 million. HBO's Perry Mason, which Robert Downey Jr. had produced, did fairly well critically but got canceled after two seasons.
