Robert Downey Runior's talent was always obviousBut his appetite for drugs and alcohol made it easier for the study to deny that he was working during the first few decades of his career. The son of Trailblazing Independent Filmmaker Robert Downey (Whose "Putney Swope" is one of the Most Scabrous Pieces of Pop Cultural Satire You will ever se Like "Weird Science" and "Back to School" Before delivering his breakout performance as the redlining addict julian wells in marievska's adaptation of Bret Easton "Less than Zero" by Elis.

Downey had the gift. He had it all. He was always the most exciting person on the screen, who probably set aside some of his co-stars, but the child could not help him. Like Eddie Murphy or Robin Williams, you were ready to laugh whenever he stepped into the frame. Unlike those stars, you weren't sure if you could trust him. He could be a bully. He could be CAD. And he could be a killer.

If Downey was able to oppose the substances that landed him in jail more than once and almost destroyed his career, I suspect he would spend the overall part of the 1990s, taking him out of mostly supporting roles. Starred in Chaplin And the earnings of the nomination for the Academy of Best Actor in 1993 had to be permanently placed on the A-Speaker. But his demons were not made with him.

And so, two years after he delivered a remarkable leading performance in the troubled "Two Girls and One Boyfriend" to Jameseims Tovak, Downey found himself playing killer of children in the stylish Neil Jordandan "in the dreams". The actor was in and out of prison, rehabilitation and direct prison during this period, so he did not really call his melody as far as roles. However, there was a good reason to think that the part could be big upside down. For beginners, it was one of Dreamworks SKG's first green lights. Also, it was written about Steven Spielberg for potentially directly. So what went wrong?

In a lot of fun book "Smoking in Bed: Talks with Bruce Robinson", The thrilled screenwriter of "Obey and I" and the "killing fields" (for which he earned a nomination for the Academy Award) discussed how Spielberg hired him to write "a psychological drama of extreme darkness, not a thriller, but was supposed to be" glitter ". This follows them because Spielberg was a friend of Stanley Kubrick and is obsessed with the adaptation of Steven King's novel director (to the point that he included him in Ready Player One).

"In Dreams" was a project for Primo in Hollywood, but, according to Robinson, Spielberg got cold legs when it came time to devote himself to doing what his darkest genre would be easily. According to Robinson:

"It was very difficult, and something in his head, or someone like his wife, may have said," Look, Steve, you are the man who is doing "ET" Do you really want to make a movie for a killer of children? Your public can be very unfortunate that you are doing such a topic. "

Spielberg eventually handed over the project to Jordan, the brilliant director responsible for Such classics as "Mona Lisa", The "Crying Game" and "End of the Affair". He also had a blockbuster credit due to a "Vampire Interview". This was not a step down, but Jordandan is tormented, a missed Catholic that brings its religious agony to the sleeve. He made a nice movie (filmed by Master Cinematographer Darius Hondji), but it's a great mood in search of an attractive story. If Jordandan did not copy Robinson, he may have been able to present the dark magic of "Don't Look Now" by Nicolas Rog. Instead, he made a non-fish-not-foul studio art.

Downey is quite good in the film, but it is primarily an exhibition for Annette Benning as the mother of the murdered child - and, shock of shocks, she is involved in the task. If Spielberg made "in the dreams", he would have been shot by Janus Kaminski and probably there was no frightening beauty of Jordan's translation. Spielberg eventually scratched this itching with the 2002 "Minority Report", one year before Downey to clean. They just missed each other, but there is still time to socialize.
