Robert Downey Jr. holds auditions for animals in this new quirky promotional video for his latest film "Dolittle."
The "Iron Man" star is seen talking to an assortment of animals as his little furry "co-stars" read and act out lines from other famous movies.
Among those lending their voices to animal characters are Emma Thompson, Octavia Spencer, Rami Malek, Craig Robinson, Kumail Nanjiani, John Cena, and Ralph Fiennes.
"Dolittle" is a reimagining of the classic children's adventure tale about an eccentric doctor (Downey Jr.) who has the uncanny ability to communicate to animals.
Directed and co-written by Stephen Gaghan (the Oscar-winning screenwriter of "Traffic"), "Dolittle" is coming to theaters on January 17, 2020.
synopsis:
Robert Downey Jr. electrifies one of literature's most enduring characters in a vivid reimagining of the classic tale of the man who could talk to animals: DOLITTLE.
After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria's England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company.
But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures.
The doctor is joined on his quest by a young, self-appointed apprentice (Harry Collett) and a raucous coterie of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Oscar-winner Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck (Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer), a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich (Kumail Nanjiani) and an upbeat polar bear (John Cena) and a headstrong parrot (Oscar-winner Emma Thompson), who serves as Dolittle's most trusted advisor and confidante.
