Downey Jr. isn't the only A-lister to back off this project. Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Marion Cotillard and Natalie Portman also reportedly bowed out of the 3D project for various reasons.
It looks like the movie is a go for now and will start filming this spring, giving Sandy plenty of time to finish filming the Stephen Daldry drama, 'Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close,' with Tom Hanks.
But there is no telling which film will actually be in the can and reach audiences first, begging the question, will 'Gravity' be Bullock's 'Aeon Flux'? Will we see her collect yet another Razzie? And if so, why would Sandy and George take it on?
"The 'Gravity' script is a good one, much better than it sounds when described in a couple of lines in a news story where it admittedly sounds like sci-fi crap," one studio exec who has read the script tells PopEater. "It is actually a very human story about a woman with a very serious mission."
Still, it remains a diversion for Bullock who typically shines in comedic fare and more recently dramas that are a little closer to home. But the glow of an Oscar can make anyone believe they are invincible.
"I don't think any actor who actually has the means to be choosey purposely chooses a bad movie," says Paul Dergarabedian, President of the box-office division of Hollywood.com. "I do think that recent Oscar winners feel impervious to the usual rules that apply. I think they feel invincible. What they need to remember is that the American people have a short memory. One year you can do Academy-Award winning work and the next do a bad movie. People will remember the bad movie."
There's no telling if 'Gravity' will be a 3D out of this world flop or a masterpiece. At the end of the day if it stars Sandy and George in three dimensions, it can't be a complete wash.
