Currently Browsing: "Jon Favreau"

I fibbed a bit in the title above, and I’m sorry. Technically though, Marvel still has yet to sign Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. to direct and star in the inevitable (and already scheduled) sequel, so perhaps this post will prove prophetic…

In the latest rumors to come out of the Marvel rumor mill (which has, by the way, been working overtime this week), we now think we know that Leonardo DiCaprio is very high on the list for the lead role in Captain America. Interesting…

After the runaway success of Iron Man that kicked off this summer and the imminent success of Tropic Thunder in August, Robert Downey Jr. is on fire — not literally, but almost.

From the set of his new acting gig, a supporting player on I Love You, Man, Jon Favreau talks about the future of Iron Man, his role, and what summer movies he is looking forward to.

Release date or not, unless there’s a solid script and film is running through the camera, I don’t trust any movie’s rumored existence. We’ve been burned before.

Jon Favreau sat down with EW.com to talk about the surprise critical and opening box office success of Iron Man, the risk of casting Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and what the future hold for Favs, Iron Man, and The Avengers.

The buzz behind Iron Man has created the perfect storm of media hype leading into the summer season. For some, the film simply cannot live up to the hype, but that’s only reserved for sci-fi nerds who have downloaded every scrap of leaked footage and hi-res photo onto their computer. For the casual viewer, the film delivers exactly what the trailer promises.

For those who are still mourning over the last couple of failed Marvel comic book adaptations (the disappointing Spider-man 3, the mediocre Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and the atrocious Ghost Rider), fear not.

There are still about 3 hours left before moviegoers on the east coast start filing into the first public screenings of Iron Man, but already the talk from producers and insiders has been diverted to what is next.

I get the feeling that Jon Favreau knew going into the production of Iron Man that this was going to be a very big, very MTV generation flick, because he certainly shot a lot of video while on set.

Our own super-sleuth Loukas Tsouknidas checks in from overseas with an awesome early review of Iron Man. As you can see, the hype may all be worth it, after all.

The fine folks over at Yahoo Movies posted this little gem of a behind-the-scenes feature earlier this evening, wherein we get to go with director Jon Favreau onto the set of Iron Man.

I just got back from a relatively short road trip with our illustrious Executive Editor Neil Miller. That meant more than four hours in a car with him and non-stop talk about Iron Man.

Check out this post to learn the loving story of a man and his goal of being encased in armor, as well as a wicked cool behind-the-scenes video from the upcoming flick Iron Man.

By now, if you’ve seen the most recent trailer for Iron Man, you’ve seen the end of this particular scene. But don’t worry, there is still enough here to get you all revved up — as if you aren’t already stoked for this film.

There is nothing like a brand new Iron Man video to start off your early morning. That is, especially if the video is full of… you guessed it, badassness.

These are the creme of the crop when it comes to Iron Man shots, so I felt it necessary to share them with you. Feel free to enjoy, just don’t forget to clean up the mess afterwards.

If history is any indicator, the following images might not last very long on the web. Our friends over at Superhero Hype posted eight choice shots from the upcoming film Iron Man, complete with the Paramount Pictures watermark.

Are you (the die hard fan) able to get over that fact and understand that your favorite characters might never have hit the big screen without a little promotional bump from a third-party? Hopefully you can, as Marvel’s upcoming film Iron Man seems to be another in the long line of car commercials turned action movies.

At this point, you probably wish that you could skip through the stoner comedy-filled month of April and get right to May 2nd as quickly as possible, don’t you friendo? Let’s skip the Harold and Kumars, the Sarah Marshalls and get right to Mr. Tony Stark and his infinitely badass persona Iron Man.

Our friends over at Latino Review have gotten their hands on a new TV spot from Paramount’s big summer kickoff film Iron Man, which as you may have noticed is becoming one of the most highly anticipated films of the year.

Superhelden werden nicht geboren, sie werden gemacht!

Paramount Pictures President Andre Cripps dishes some dirt to exhibitors at ShoWest.

We’re not sure if you’ve heard of Iron Man yet, but these posters should help your awareness…

Check out this sweet production art from the upcoming comic-to-screen adaptation ‘Iron Man’!

Lets be real about this: any movie trailer that begins with a riff from an AC/DC song is going to be awesome.

Jon Favreau is a funny guy.

Our friends on the ground at WonderCon have found an awesome new Iron Man poster.

See a little more from the world of Tony Stark…

Mark May 2 on your calendar already. Geez…
