Celebrity Psychings

From A Beautiful Mind to Canvas, schizophrenia has been getting quite a bit of screen time over the last decade.

It’s going to get some more in April 2009, when Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey, Jr. start blowin’ minds and takin’ names (not to mention rack up a heap of awards nominations, I expect) with the release of The Soloist.

The Soloist is not only the movie adaptation of the book of the same name, but it’s also the movie adaptation of a true life story about one Los Angeles Times journalist’s (Steve Lopez, played by Robert Downing, Jr., who is also on the advisory board for No Kidding, Me Too!) journey to help an extremely talented, homeless man with schizophrenia (Nathaniel Ayers, played by Jamie Foxx) realize his dreams.
