VIDEO : Robert Downey Jr. To Produce And Possibly Star In Chasing Phil

He?s played one of the world?s greatest protectors, but now Robert Downey Jr. may play one of its greatest criminals.
The Iron Man star is currently in talks to produce and lead in Warner Bros.? Chasing Phil, an adaptation of the true crime book "Chasing Phil: The World?s Greatest Con Man, Two Undercover FBI Agents, and Their Amazing Around the World Adventure."
If the deal goes through, Downey Jr. would play Phil Kitzer, the leader behind the real-life crime organization called The Fraternity, which ran multi-million dollar cons. Downey Jr.?s production team, Team Downey, would also produce the film. The original novel told the true story of two FBI Agents who infiltrated Kitzer?s organization, while Downey?s version is described as a cross between The Wolf of Wall Street and Goodfellas.
