Screenwriter Marc Guggenheim (Green Lantern, “Law & Order”) has been offered to pen the script for Team Downey’s upcoming reboot, Perry Mason; he is currently in negotiations. Robert Downey Jr and wife Susan will produce the film for Warner Brothers. Courtesy of Hollywood Reporter, he’s a summary of what to expect with the new film:
Mason is a defense attorney character at the center of a series of books by Erle Stanley Gardner that were first adapted as films and radio plays in the 1930s. The books were hugely popular but the character’s appeal reached new heights with the TV series that starred Raymond Burr and ran from 1957 to 1966.
Guggenheim is writing a script based off an original story by Downey and Team Downey president David Gambino, bringing the character back to Los Angeles of the 1930s.
