Jon Favreau Talks ‘Iron Man 3′

Iron Man 2 is now out. Have you seen it yet? Not quite as good as the first, is it. But it’s still good enough to warrant the series continuing. And it seems highly likely there will be a third Iron Man movie, at least if director Jon Favreau has anything to do with it....

‘Iron Man 2′ Movie Review

The original Iron Man movie was always going to be a hard act to follow. Here was a movie that did a lot better than it was expected to, and which brought Robert Downey Jr. kicking and screaming back to the Hollywood A-list. And the origin story of how Tony Stark came to be Iron...

‘Iron Man 2′ Eyeing Huge Opening

You may not have seen much official promotion happening for Iron Man 2, the superhero sequel due to be released at the end of the month. But there’s a good reason for this lack of drum-beating – it just isn’t needed. According to The L.A. Times, Iron Man 2 could be on course to break...

Jeff Bridges: ‘Iron Man’ Had No Script

I don’t know how I’d deal as an actor with turning up on a set which didn’t have a finalized script. What? You want us to make it up as we go along, rewriting scenes and improvising as we go? Hmm, OK then. That is reportedly what it was like working on the original Iron...

Favreau: ‘Iron Man 2’ Not Cliffhanger But There Will Be An ‘Iron Man 3’

Iron Man 2 is now in the can, having wrapped last week. And if I’m honest, I cannot wait until the movie is released. It does feel a little like they’re rushing this one out but the first was such a hit, amongst critics and fanboys alike, that why wouldn’t they want to rush out...

Favreau and Rourke Tease ‘Iron Man 2’

The first Iron Man movie blew me away. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting much – as great an actor as Robert Downey Jr. is I did wonder how he’d do at playing a comic book character. The answer? Spectacularly well, so well in fact that he acted Christian Bale’s Batman right off the screen....

‘Iron Man 2′ Not-The-Plot Details

Rather than being a brilliant article exclusively revealing the plot details of Iron Man 2, this is a crappy not-the-plot article which, as the description implies, is set to merely inform you one storyline which is known NOT to have made it into the sequel. Don’t blame me, blame MTV! Iron Man 2 is set...

Paltrow In Dark On ‘Iron Man 2’

It seems as though as the amount of bloggers and journalists covering movies and celebrities has increased, so the actual stories surrounding them has dwindled. I’m sure there was a time when information on upcoming movies, plot points, casting etc, was widespread. These days, however, most everything seems to be hearsay and speculation, with official...

Samuel L. Jackson Loses Nick Fury Part – And I’m Pleased

Just over a week ago, I wrote an article explaining why I thought Samuel L. Jackson was becoming overexposed. This was after seeing him in film after film after film for the last few years. It felt like every time I went to the cinema or watched a film on the TV, there he’d be...

Robert Downey Jr Talks ‘Iron Man’

I’ve just watched Batman Begins again in preparation for the release of The Dark Knight next month. It portrays Batman as a dark superhero full of anguish, and with a really deep, emotional background, and that works really well for the character. But not every superhero is the same, and it looks as though Iron...
