A 'Doctor Dolittle' Reboot Starring Robert Downey Jr. Is on the Way
Dr. Dolittle will make outrageous chitchat with animals once again, and this time he'll be doing it as Robert Downey Jr. Deadline reports that Iron Man will star in a reboot called The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle. "Several studios chased this one hard," the site writes.
John Dolittle was born as the star of a dozen children's novels by British author/civil engineer Hugh Lofting. Then came a 1967 musical movie starring Rex Harrison, followed most famously by a pair of Eddie Murphy movies in 1998 and 2001.
Murphy's character's daughter, played by Kyla Pratt, headlined three more films from 2006 - '09. The last two bore the radical subtitles Tail to the Chief and Million Dollar Mutts.
