Alfonso Cuaron‘s sci-fi project Gravity may have lost just that, despite having a movie star (Robert Downey Jr.) and an award-winning director in tow. Angelina “Salt” Jolie was approached to Cuaron a while back to star as the heroine in this film, which concerns a team of cosmonauts (the team leader being RDJ) who are nearly all wiped out by debris from a busted satellite.
Jolie’s character is left in a dire attempt to get back home to her son. Apparently, it’s a one-woman show or the most part, at least as the script (written by Cuaron and his son Jonas) reads now. There may need to be changes if Warner Bros. can’t find a bankable actress to take the reins.
The studio has allegedly met with all of the candidates, from Sandra Bullock to Natalie Portman to Sienna Miller to Blake Lively (who was once rumored to have taken over for Jolie), so they’re trying [Deadline].
Lets hope a solution is found, because Gravity sounds kind of incredible, especially with in its current $80 million 3D-shot state.
Are you excited for Gravity? Who should replace Jolie?
