Has Robert Downey Jr. got the detecting bug?

First he pulls off an impressive turn as Sherlock Holmes (&ldquo♒;upending the character’s long-standing stuffiness with contemporary verve while nailing the eccentric bent of Arthur Conan Doyle’s great British detective”). Now he fancies his chances as Perry Mason!

According to a report in Variety , a P𓆏erry Mason film would take place in the 1930s and be set in the “rough and tumble world” of early Los Angeles.

Downey Jr. and executive produce🌞r David Gambino came up with the film's plot between them but will hire a writer to script it.

The fictional defence attorney first appeared🦹 in a 1933 novel by Erle Stanley Gardn💜er but has since gone on to feature in radio plays, films and a TV series.

Gardner produced 82 Perry Mason novels overall, as well as othe🌠r short stories. Did someon♋e say sequels?
