well I think the beauty in the storytelling, I'm not sure that you could say for sure if you'd wind up doing something like this, until you were right there with such profound love having been so freshly taken away from you. Of course I would hope it's not something you'd have to choose for a very long time, if ever

I forget if I've brought this up before, but the production company Team Downey (Robert Downey Jr along with his producer wife, Susan) optioned the feature film rights of the basic concept of that episode. It's not that they wanted to make a straight up feature version of that episode, but just the fundamental idea of having tech implanted in your head to record all activity then play it back on any screen, the machinations of the tech how it's shown in the episode. They wanted to use that seed for some kind of real edgy psychology thriller movie.
But, that was also like AT LEAST 2 full years ago now, I've not heard a single word since the deal was first made. and who knows what RDJ has planned for the next half decade. A lot of rumors Tony Stark will be dead by end of Avengers 4 (well they'd have to do yet another major restructure of his contract for more at that point if going for more) and in fact saw just in the last day or two he was planning to star in a reboot of the old
Perry Mason TV show, as a detective. The original True Detective writer (Nick Polattzo?) was in charge of that but apparently is now leaving because HBO's getting serious about having True Detective s3 getting back to original quality form.
I mean other than Sherlock Holmes (and who the fuck KNOWS if/when #3 will happen), truth is RDJ has nothing successful really when he's out of the Iron Man suit.
