Indio Downey, the son of actor Robert Downey Jr., is set to make his first lead film appearance in “Love In Vein,” an addiction-focused drama. The project is based on Ryan Leone’s novel “Wasting Talent” and will be directed by Will De Los Santos. The story is described as exploring addiction and personal relationships, set in Los Angeles.

Outlets frame the news with similar core details, though the emphasis differs. Times of India highlights director and the plan for filming in March and April 2027, noting additional casting is still underway. Deadline similarly foregrounds that Downey has booked his first lead role in an indie-leaning production, and also points to production involvement, including an “American Psycho” producer being aboard. Both reports describe the adaptation and the film’s thematic focus, without adding competing story claims.
