| From director Keith Gordon ( Mother Night , A Midnight Clear ) comes this American feature adaptation of the 1986 BBC miniseries, The Singing Detective . Robert Downey Jr. returns to the big-screen for the first time since 2000's Wonder Boys as Dan Dark, a novelist who is hospitalized with a severe case of psoriasis. As he lays in bed, Dark hallucinates that he is actually a World War II-era private dick embroiled in an oddball web of mystery, intrigue, and musical numbers. Written by the late Dennis Potter ( Pennies From Heaven , Gorky Park ) and co-starring Mel Gibson , Robin Wright Penn , Katie Holmes , and Adrien Brody , The Singing Detective premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival . — Matthew Tobey |
