Steven Spielberg pulls out of directing remake of Harvey
Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg has reportedly pulled out of directing a remake of James Stewart movie Harvey.
The 62-year-old allegedly struggled with finding a lead actor for the movie after Tom Hanks reportedly turned down the part and Robert Downey Jr would not commit to the flick.
The original movie was based on the Broadway play by Mary Chase, and 20th Century Fox are expected to continue with the movie following Spielberg's pull-out.
Harvey is about a man who believes his best friend is a giant invisible rabbit and Stewart won a best actor nomination at the 1951 awards for his role in the flick.
It is not known what project Spielberg will be working on next as he recently wrapped production on The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn.
