Currently Browsing: "Jon Favreau"

The release of one of our 2008 favorites, Iron Man, on DVD, has got us thinking about the things we want in a sequel. See if you agree.

If you thought Iron Man was cool on the big screen, wait until you see where he came from.

Sure, Bill Maher is currently trying to bring the world of organized religion to its knees with his film Religulous, but can he compete with the fact that Robert Downey Jr. is encroaching on the popularity of Jesus.

Marvel Studios could be throwing us a curve-ball, as they have engaged in talks with thespian Kenneth Branagh for the directorial gig on Thor. An interesting choice, indeed.

Warner Bros. has just sent over the first trailer for their upcoming comedy Four Christmases, which stars Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon as a well-to-do couple who has made a tradition out of avoiding their families at Christmas time.

Yesterday, we reported about Iron Man director Jon Favreau’s interest in possibly shooting Iron Man 2 in IMAX or a 3D format, now it’s time to discuss what the long-term plans are for Tony Stark.

At a press conference to celebrate Iron Man’s DVD release, director Jon Favreau wet the whistles of fans by mentioning two interesting terms: 3D and IMAX.

It takes a real movie geek to get into stuff like what I am about to show you. Even better — it takes a real computer geek to create what I am about to show you.

It hasn’t been officially announced yet, as is usually the case, but it appears that Jon Favreau has gone back to work on what will become one of the most highly-anticipated sequels of the next few years, Iron Man 2.

Apparently the character known as Iron Man is a badass — who knew? And as of this morning, there should be few dry seats in the world of tech support, as the DVD details for the summer’s second biggest superhero flick have been released.

With Comic-Con over and done, we want to take a moment to pause and look back, at the year so far. We do this in a format that we like to call “Ten Things We Liked, 5 Things We Didn’t.”

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.
