JackFetch Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 To back up what Yoda said. From aintitcoolnews.com Okay. This is a pretty big tidbit, and as far as I can tell, this is an exclusive. I haven’t seen any mention of this anywhere online, but it’s exciting news, and I have to share it with you guys. Right now, if I had to wager on whether or not IRON MAN was going to be one of next summer’s big films, I’d say it will be. It seems like Jon Favreau has done everything right so far, and I’m hearing really exciting things about the action sequences and the casting, and I’ve been sold on Robert Downey Jr. since the moment he was announced. Today, though, he’s shooting scenes featuring an actor who is a set-up for a larger Marvel continuity, and it’s exciting because I’m hoping this character can start showing up in other films, and we’ll start seeing Marvel Studios creating a larger world, one that exists outside the frames of the individual movies. This is a major step towards making that AVENGERS movie we’ve been hearing about. So who’s the actor? Who’s the character? Sam Jackson. Nick Fury. Count on it. Remember he said he wanted to play Nick Fury awhile back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drqshadow Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 What's the deal with the fruity little circle of jewels on his shirt? I guess maybe that's "keeping him alive" until he can get into the armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 There's shrapnel next to Stark's heart. That glowing circle is a magnetic field meant to keep it from moving around and killing him. In fact, if you notice, the Iron Man armor always has a circle or triangle in the center of the chest. That's due to the circle implanted into his chest.

Dread Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Here's the cast: HO LEE Fuck! Is it just me or does Jeff Bridges look like he's Vincent Price there? and here: This has all the makings of the best superhero movie ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Iron Man director Jon Favreau has announced the end of principal photography on his MySpace group, and indirectly confirmed rumors that Hilary Swank will have a cameo in the film: Principal photography ended with a huge bang as we filmed the final scenes of Iron Man in Caesar's Palace. As many of you already know, gambling is a casino's top priority. A production can not interfere with their cash cow. As a result, movies must shoot during the dead hours, no matter if it's Swingers or Rain Man. We were given a window of midnight to one the next afternoon to do all of our work. Part of our strategy to prepare for these ungodly hours was to stay up as late as possible the night before and sleep as late as possible. I did half the plan. The wrong half. I stayed out until 7AM and then woke up four hours later. After motoring through the delerium of a sleepless shooting marathon, I am proud to report that we have handily completed our movie on time and on budget. What a great way to end. I would also like to thank Ceasars for their hospitality, generosity, and Swank accomodations.

JackFetch Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 An update fro Jon Favreau vis his MySpace: First of all, as you probably already know, there is not a teaser trailer on the front of Transformers as many of you had hoped and speculated. We are, however, planning to reveal something very cool very soon. This month, in fact. In San Diego. We've secured a prime slot Saturday afternoon in the big room at SDCC. We will split an hour with Marvel and Hulk and plan to cut something together to reward the fans for their interest, support and patience. In addition to our Saturday afternoon presentation, we will be doing a signing and poster giveaway at the Marvel booth on Saturday. Paramount is also doing a rundown of its slate on Thursday which I will do my best to attend as well. Second of all, you had questions about Iron Monger/Mandarin/Obadiah Stane. My response is read the books. We took certain liberties to keep things fresh and unexpected but we are essentially using the books to inspire our story. Iron Man fans should have no problem piecing together what's what. As far as what villians appear in this movie's storyline, I should reiterate that in the year spent developing our story we decided to treat Iron Man as a first chapter. We cover the origin story and the rise of the hero. It stands alone as a movie, but definitely leaves room for more to be told. Sequels often feel like the story was slapped together in a scramble to exploit a successful franchise. I prefer when stories are mapped out in advance. They feel less repetitive and arbitrary. Additional Iron Man movies are by no means guaranteed but, if we are lucky enough to do more, we will be ready to do them well. Third. Cameos. I've read that Sam Jackson and Hilary Swank are Shield agents and that I myself play a Vegas security guard. There is no truth to any of these rumors. (Well, maybe one is true.) So a trailer is coming this month, kind of like the Spider-Man 3 one with Venom at the end that was shown in front of comic fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mull Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Sweet, you know that with it being Stark they aren't going to have to try and make him a loveable character like they have to with others, so its going to be easy for them to get this guy over being rich and cocky, I think anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Avi Arad has confirmed to MTV that Samuel L. Jackson and Hilary Swank will indeed make cameo appearances in Iron Man. Nothing else about their roles is revealed. Superhero Hype! has also learned that you can see the actual "Mark I" suit from the movie worn by Robert Downey Jr. at the Marvel booth at Comic-Con this week. The suit was created at Stan Winston Studio. It's about time someone said something concrete about them being in it. I wish I could go to Comic-Con. I'll just have to settle for Dragon-Con.

MaxPower Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Jessica Biel talks dirty!!!! Oh wait, you meant the picture of Iron Man.... Why is it that all other 'man' superheroes, batman, superman, spiderman, etc are 1 word, but Iron Man is 2 words? For other articles listed on the cover, the "misunderstood genius of brett ratner" cracks me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Footage shown at Comic-Com: The footage starts with Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark addressing soldiers with a speech which is paraphrased here: "Is it better to be feared than respected? I say, 'Is it too much to ask for both?' With that in mind, I humbly present the crown jewel of Stark Industries' Freedom Line. It's the first missile system to incorporate our proprietary repulsor technology." He then says something about the best weapon being one you don't have to fire, but he disagrees and says that the best weapon is the one you only have to fire once. "That's how America does it." It's a great scene that shows the humor that Downey Jr. will be bringing to the role as do the next two scenes. Then we see Tony Stark coming out of an event in a tuxedo and he's stopped by a Vanity Fair reporter to ask him questions about being a "merchant of death" and he makes a snappy comeback. (We also see Favreau as his bodyguard in the scene.) The next scene shows a bunch of military vehicles driving through the desert to the tune of an AC/DC tune with Robert Downey Jr. sitting in the back with a soldier who wants to take a picture with him. He jokes "I don't want to see this on your MySpace" page and then the soldier makes a V sign and he says "No gang signs, please." The soldier puts the V down and he goes "I'm just kidding." There's then an explosion as they're under attack and he runs for cover and then in the next shot, he wakes up in a cavern and opens his shirt to see a round metal device where his heart is. "What did you do to me?" he asks and a man in the cave says, "I did it to save your life," and explains how he has put an electro-magnet hooked up to a car battery to save him. He then starts building the suit and the next few scenes show him taking on a few Iraqi-types and we get to see the first Iron Man suit in action to the tune of Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." Lots of men are shooting at him but the bullets are bouncing off him and at one point, he swings his fist and his metal arm gets lodged into the cave walls and then one of the guys attacking him walks up and tries to shoot him in the Iron Man helmet but the bullet bounces back and hits him in the head. The next few scenes are fairly fast-paced showing lots of explosions and a brief glimpse of Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Terrence Howard as Rhodey and a few quick scenes showing the evolution of the Iron Man armor until it gets to the most current one. (That got a huge cheer.) We then see Iron Man in that armor flying with two jets following him behind him and he goes flying off. We see a sheet of metal and a hammer hits a chisel that imprints the Iron Man logo and then there's another shot of the Iron Man armor flying.
