Downey Jr. ready for a 'Date'

Warner Bros. has set Robert Downey Jr. to star with Zach Galifianakis in "Due Date," the Todd Phillips-directed comedy that begins production this fall.

Downey will play an expectant father on a road trip with a mismatched partner, racing to get to the birth of his first child.

According to Variety, Phillips will produce through his Green Hat banner with Daniel Goldberg. Scott Budnick will be executive producer.

Galifianakis, who delivered a breakout performance this summer in the Phillips-directed comedy "The Hangover," will play Downey's road trip mate.

The script was written by Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland and revised by Adam Sztykiel. Shooting will begin Sept. 21 and take place in Atlanta, New Mexico and Los Angeles.
