Iron Man

By Scott Weinberg Anyway, the Special Edition has lots to recommend it, and the main feature is certainly something to see -- doubly so if you happen to have Blu-Ray. (I do not.) Even better the second time around, The Incredible Hulk is a simple yet very well-made action adventure flick in which a fugitive sci...

By Monika Bartyzel Last month, Elisabeth shared some concept art for the upcoming Green Lantern movie, and she mentioned the possibility of it being on par with Iron Man. For that to happen, there would have to be a pretty dynamic star in the driver's seat. So how about Ryan Gosling?

By Elisabeth Rappe Filed under: Action, Classics, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Disney, Fandom, Tech Stuff, Newsstand, Remakes and SequelsThe geek cred of Jeff Bridges has skyrocketed this year. I can't really think of a time when he wasn't adored by film fans, but he's got a special place with the fanboys these da...

By Monika Bartyzel Best of all, Favreau says that things are coming together smoothly with "fewer casting issues" than the first round, so I imagine we will start getting casting notices soon, and with that, an idea of what villains ol' Tony will face.

By Monika Bartyzel The whole 10 Rings thing in IM 1 was a good tease for it," muses over the possibility of a female villain, and confirms that #2 will focus on the aftermath of Tony's "I am Iron Man," statement. Best of all, Favreau says that things are ...

By Kevin Polowy Iron Man At the risk of drawing the ire of Batfans everywhere, I'll just come out and say it: Iron Man is the best my favorite superhero movie of the year. (Dear Comic-Con: Please don't revoke my press pass.) Dark Knight is indeed brilliant, and brilliantly dark, but Iron Man is just so much mor...

By Scott Weinberg Right about here is where all the gushing and excitement and enthusiasm should begin, because I'll tell you right off the "bat" that Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight is cause for celebration indeed. But then you'll figure out -- after only one sentence -- that I pretty much loved this mo...

By Erik Davis Right from the start, folks haven't been giving The Incredible Hulk a fair shake, myself included. It took a long time to get those first images, and even longer for a trailer. But now that the film's marketing campaign is in full swing, I'm starting to see the fans turn. I witnessed the full "fi...

By James Rocchi One of the many nice moments in Iron Man comes as techno-titan Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey, Jr.) is consulting with his artificial intelligence majordomo, Jarvis, about the fabrication of the newest version of the high-tech power armor Stark intends to use to stop evil and protec...

By Scott Weinberg Downey is a survivor, no doubt, and he's also a refreshingly engaging actor to watch -- and boy was I thrilled when Marvel announced that this would be the guy to portray Tony Stark. To those who don't know the Stark character from the comic books, let me just make it clear: Downey is the perfec...

By Erik Davis Took some time off from the Tribeca Film Fest tonight to catch an early screening of Iron Man with Mr. Weinberg. What's there to say about Iron Man? How does one put it into words so shortly after enjoying THAT kind of moviegoing experience? We have two Iron Man reviews coming up later next week...

By Kevin Kelly Jon Favreau has really come a long way since Swingers (and thankfully, an even longer way since Made) and I'll be the first to admit that when he was attached to direct Iron Man, I breathed a sigh of ... disappointment. I mean, how could the director of Swingers and Elf possibly do a good job with a m...

By Kevin Kelly Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in Iron Man is probably some of the most bizarre, and most genius, piece of Hollywood casting in a comic-book movie ever. I still remember when people were scratching their heads over the whole Michael Keaton as Batman news ... but he didn't have the same reputatio...

By Kevin Kelly What it's been like working on Iron Man as compared to Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow. Exactly what happened to her leg. (Ouch!) She's been a been fan of both Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau, and signed on to play Pepper Potts even before reading the script. She used to watch Jeff Bridges i...

By Kevin Kelly Terrence Howard might be playing Tony Stark's close friend and military ally, but if you've read the comics then you know that if they make a sequel to Iron Man, he'll be playing War Machine, and possibly going toe to toe with the Man or Iron himself. You can click on Terrence's picture to list...

By Erik Davis That said, USA Today has a whole article on the Iron Man production which includes a brand new pic of Downey Jr. (as Tony Stark) forging the Iron Man suit. As you can see above, the dude looks pretty badass. Apart from the pic, the article delves into some of the training that Downey Jr. had to endur...

By Mark Beall The other rule you generally need to follow in creating Marvel comics is ... and his Iron Man movie, or will an ugly Johnny Blaze make Tony Stark and ... Iron Man is obviously launching first, followed quickly by the new Hulk flick. ...

By Mark Beall After granting the title role of Iron Man to Robert Downey Jr., director Jon Favreau and his casting team are on the move again. This time, they're finally making things official and bringing on Terrence Howard to play Jim Rhodes. If you aren't particularly familiar with comic books, then it...

By Erik Davis Wow, if this information is correct, then Paramount and Marvel have acquired a huge set of balls and are pinning the entire Iron Man franchise on -- wait for it -- Robert Downey Jr. According to AICN, some top secret scooper told Harry Knowles prior to a screening of The Fountain that Downey J...

By James Rocchi No, not the classic metal song: The classic comic book. As part of Marvel Comics' on-going attempts to make more movie money off of its stable of characters, it's developing many of its properties for the silver screen. ...
