After the success of Taken and Gran Torino, Hollywood has been on a vigilante kick. And right now, Bryan Singer (along with studio execs all over town) has been seriously considering getting his revenge on with The Prisoners, a much-sought-after thriller script to which Mark Wahlberg is attached to star as a Boston dad who takes the law into his own hands when his young daughter is kidnapped. The screenplay, which has been compared to The Silence of the Lambs and Seven, has been buzzed about as a calling card for its unknown writer, Aaron Guzikowski, and as a rare project targeted at adult audiences but with real commercial potential. When asked whether The Prisoners will be his next movie, Singer told EW: 'I don't know yet. But I'm definitely intrigued. It's a great script. And I'd love to work with Mark.' source: EW

Robert Downey Jr. will star with Zach Galifianakis in “Due Date,” the comedy that Todd Phillips will direct for Warner Bros. this fall.

Downey will play an expectant father who finds himself on a road trip with a mismatched partner, as he races to get there before the birth of his first child.

Galifianakis, who starred for Phillips in “The Hangover,” plays his road trip mate in a comedy that Phillips calls “a buddy comedy without the buddies.”

Script was written by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland, revised by Adam Sztykiel. Shooting will begin in September, in Atlanta, Arizona and Los Angeles.

Downey is at Comic-Con promoting the Christman release of the Guy Ritchie-directed “Sherlock Holmes” by Warner Bros., and the May 7, 2010 release of the Jon Favreau-directed “Iron Man 2” by Paramount and Marvel.
