小罗伯特·唐尼身兼制片主演显才情

　　We recently heard about a new starring vehicle for Robert Downey, Jr. in the form of Yucatan, the first priority project for Team Downey, the production banner founded by the actor and his wife Susan Downey. Now Team Downey has another project in the works as Columbia Pictures has announced, via press release, their option of the rights to Neil Strauss' non-fiction book Emergency!: This Book Will Save Your Life. In addition to producing the project, there's a chance that Downey could star in the film as well. Also, much buzzed about screenwriter Allan Loeb (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps) will script the adaptation.

　　If you're unfamiliar with the book, Columbia's press release describes the material like this:

　　目前，性格男星小罗伯特-唐尼正忙于刚开机的《福尔摩斯2》，他与妻子苏珊-唐尼成立了制作公司“Team Downey”即将投拍电影《Yucatan》，而这家夫妻档公司的第二个案子也于近日浮上水面。唐尼找来哥伦比亚电影公司，有意将尼尔-斯特劳斯的纪实性小说《Emergency!: This Book Will Save Your Life》搬上银幕，而小罗伯特本人则有望出演，而《华尔街2》的编剧阿伦-勒布有可能加盟，撰写剧本。

　　'Emergency' traces one man’s story of a dangerous world–and how to stay alive in it or die trying. It is Strauss’s white-knuckled journey through a country that’s lost its sense of safety, as one man equips himself with the tools necessary to save himself and his loved ones from an uncertain future. He sets out to move his life offshore, and in the process, he learns to survive in the wild, and remake himself as a gun-toting, lock-picking, plane-flying, government-defying survivor. It’s a tale of paranoid fantasies and crippling doubts, of shady lawyers and dangerous cult leaders, of billionaire gun nuts and survivalist superheroes, of weirdoes, heroes, and ordinary citizens taking their families off the grid.

　　Sounds like some sort of coming-of-age, alternate reality version of Tony Stark where he didn't become Iron Man. Downey's comeback has proven to be truly remarkable after his bouts with substance abuse so many years ago. In addition to rising from the ashes with an insanely successful acting career, it's good to see him moving behind-the-scenes, and even producing his own projects as he continues to make waves in the industry that almost killed him previously. As long as Downey keeps making intriguing projects like this and the forthcoming Oz: The Great and Powerful, I don't think he'll be slowing down anytime soon. Sound good?

　　据电影公司介绍，《Emergency》描述了主人公克服恶劣环境中，保护家人，求得生存的故事。

　　昔日浪荡不羁的小罗伯特-唐尼自从前几年回归影坛后便一路春风得意，取得的成绩好莱坞有目共睹，而不满足于成功表演事业的他开始涉足电影幕后工作，拍摄创作出自己的作品，而即将上演的《Oz: The Great and Powerful》已经备受关注，照如此势头发展，小罗伯特的影坛之路必定愈加宽广。
