Hearing that Alfonso Cuaron is making a "Space Thriller" starring Robert Downey Jr called GRAVITY...

Hey folks, Harry here... I'm just thrilled about this project. Hearing that Cuaron is making a Space Thriller is just something that tickles me silly happy. Hearing that Cuaron has his humanistic approach to give us a hopefully new facet to the always cool Robert Downey Jr. Well, all this has me awaiting this film with great enthusiasm. I mean, seriously, Cuaron and Downey are a great team, working in what is a beloved genre. Here's the plotline as Hollywood Reporter's HeatVision writer Borys Kit put it:
The movie's plot revolves around astronauts repairing the Hubble telescope who are hit with an avalanche of satellite junk. In a plot akin to "Cast Away," the surviving astronaut must fight her way back to Earth, where she hopes to reunite with her daughter.
Awwww - so the question comes now to the actress. Apparently right now the role is being tossed back and forth between The Green Lantern's Girlfriend and Ryan Reynolds' real life girl. So - which is more astronauty? Personally Scarlett is awfully astronaughty - and Blake Lively - I continually hear amazing things about, but I still haven't seen Affleck's THE TOWN, which I hear just tremendous things about. And I did get a good vibe off her in HALL H during that GREEN LANTERN panel. Apparently a huge role. As it was written by Cuaron & his brother, I'm sure it is amazing. Blake coming off of GREEN LANTERN, where they beefed up Carol Ferris from being in the tower to being in a cockpit, as a test pilot... and we all know what happened to the test pilots... I know that's silly logic, but it is "movie logic". That said, I could just stare at Scarlett lounging for weeks. They should seriously make a screensaver of her just doing a crossword in front of a fire place with hot cocoa. Tough decision.
