Favreau: The ‘Iron Man’ Trailer is Coming!

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on September 6, 2007

I know a lot of people who would gladly cut out my kidneys and leave me in a bathtub full of ice based on the fact that I was one of the lucky few who attended this year’s Comic Con in San Diego. Most are angry about the fact that both Jessica Alba and Kate Beckinsale were there in-person, but many are upset that I was able to view not once, but twice, footage from the upcoming Iron Man flick. Footage that absolutely blew the collective mind of over 6,500 viewers. Not once, but twice.

So it comes as no surprise that even though Iron Man will not be released until May 2, 2008, Director Jon Favreau and the folks at Paramount are going to be unleashing the first official teaser trailer on Monday September 10. That’s right kids, that means you only have to wait 4 more days in order to see some of the footage that the rest of us saw at Comic Con.

Here is what Jon Favreau had to say on the Iron Man Movie Group on MySpace:

For those of you who have been Jonesing to see the Comic Con footage, we now an official teaser trailer that incorporates much of the same imagery. Paramount is debuting the piece in its entirety across the Viacom Network’s highest rated programs. The first appearance will be immediately before the Hills on MTV on 9/10. I’ve listed the schedule of other slots that Paramount marketing has sent me below.

A hi-res version will appear on Apple.com/trailers on 9/11 for those of you who, for whatever reason, choose not to TiVo The Hills.
