Indio Downey<\/a> is set to star in a new movie! <\/p>\n The 33-year-old musician and eldest son of Robert Downey Jr<\/a> has landed the lead role in the upcoming Love in Vein movie, from writer and director Will De Los Santos, Deadline reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n Love In Vein is set to start filming in March and April 2027 in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n What is Love In Vein about?<\/p>\n The upcoming movie is an adaptation of the Ryan Leone novel, \u201cWasting Talent,\u201d and follows Damien (Downey), who \u201cnavigates addiction, love and self-destruction\u2026set against LA\u2019s underground landscape, the film follows Damien through a fragile collision of drugs, relationships, music and survival as the people around him struggle with their own versions of desire, dependency and escape.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cRyan left behind a brutally honest novel about addiction, love and Los Angeles. Since his passing, making Love In Vein has taken on an even deeper meaning for me. I want to honor his voice and the rawness of the book without softening its edges,\u201d Will De Los Santos said in a statement.<\/p>\n What is Indio Downey\u2019s personal connection to the role?<\/p>\n If you didn\u2019t know, like his father, Indio has struggled with addiction in the past, which RDJ has opened up about over ten years ago. <\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s his mother\u2019s son and my son, and he\u2019s come up the chasm much quicker than we did. But that\u2019s typical in the Information Age; things get accelerated,\u201d Robert said in a 2014 Vanity Fair interview<\/a>. \u201cYou\u2019re confronted with histories and predispositions and influences and feelings and unspoken traumas or needs that weren\u2019t met, and all of a sudden you\u2019re three miles into the woods. Can you help someone get out of those woods? Yes, you can. By not getting lost looking for them. Pick a dysfunction and it\u2019s a family problem.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2016, Robert praised Indio for his commitment<\/a> to sobriety. <\/p>\n \u201cCongrats are in order for my firstborn, and I\u2019m proud to oblige \u2013 Having braved the crucible of addiction (and pleased the court), his ongoing commitment to recovery continues to inspire and amaze\u2026,\u201d he wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n In 2014, Indio was arrested and charged with felony cocaine possession, but it was dismissed in 2016 after he successfully completed a 20-month drug diversion and rehabilitation program.<\/p>\n Posted To:Casting<\/a> Indio Downey<\/a> Movies<\/a> Robert Downey Jr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit: Getty
