ROBERT DOWNEY JR. GETS MOVIE DEAL

LOS ANGELES - Robert Downey Jr., still recovering from drug problems that 
led to his arrest more than a year ago, has signed on to star in a film 
based on the popular British miniseries The Singing Detective.

The film, being financed by Mel Gibson's Icon Productions, is to begin 
shooting in April, Downey's publicist, Alan Nierob, said.

Downey has turned down several other offers while undergoing drug 
rehabilitation therapy, Nierob said.
