Heard it here first? Didnt see this mentioned anywhere else on F13 (yes I used the search function), so I thought I would post it.
Tonight on the Jimmy Kimmel Show, John Favreau said he is set to direct the new Ironman movie. John said it is the first movie being self-financed and produced by Marvel Comics. The script is still being written and at this point no casting has been done yet.

It was mentioned here, but Iron Man itself didn't get discussed much. I guess I'm a little curious to see how the do the origin though. I assume it won't involve Vietnam now, and I wonder if he'll build something simplistic at first like the original Iron Man armor or if he'll somehow manage to cobble together some state-of-the-art suit right away after taking some shrapnel to the chest. I fully expect them to play up the whole alcoholic thing at least. The other thing I'm wondering is who the hell the villain would be. For several reason I don't think the Mandarin would be a wise choice. Titanium Man maybe? Spy Master? |

I fully expect them to play up the whole alcoholic thing at least. John mentioned the character being something of a "playboy" and said he expects to be able to insert a little humor with that. He also mentioned maybe transitioning from the earlier bulky suit to the later more refined version. He brought along a concept armor sketch done by his 4 year old son. |

They'll probably make him a Gulf War 1 vet.

That's what they did in the recent series I think. Not that he was a Gulf War vet, but that he got injured in the Gulf War and had to make the armor there.
Or I could be just projecting. I remember there being an updated origin, I just don't remember where. But really, Iron Man could be really good or really bad. Favreau is decent, I just don't know how he'll do with heavy effects-laden movies.

Tom Cruise was quite adamant about making this movie a few years back. I'm just sayin'.

Oh please GOD no. I'd prefer to not have Cruise inject his widening brand of insanity into an Iron Man movie. Leave it unspoilt, please. |

Eh... Cruise doesn't bother me too much. At the least I could kinda picture him as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern.

Fuck no. I'd rather have Jack Black as Green Latern than Tom Fucking Cruise.
But then I don't understand the history of Green Lantern rings.

What about a younger Tom Selleck? The mustache and hair always reminded me of Ironman. |

I'd be happy never to see Jack Black in another movie again. I just don't find the guy funny. I can't say I know much about the history of Green Lantern rings, but I know typically they're given out to people who "don't know fear", and that there's typically 1 or 2 Lanterns assigned to each sector of space. |

Heh, I was thinking about that earlier.
Don't even try.
Walken doesn't translate to text right. :-D
On a sidenote, did you know that he intentionally talks like that? When he was younger, he did it for the sole purpose of not getting his scenes chopped up.

You know last time I was in New York I stood in my underwear at my hotel room window screaming at Christopher Walken and a film crew at 1am. Its an interesting story.

No they were filming his new thriller "We Own the Night" right outside my window. I had to be up at 4am and the racket being made was unbearable. |

Not sure I understand. Do you think there's something wrong with Paltrow?
Again, this film will be great. Favreau is a geek and RDJ can do no wrong (err...acting wise hah).

I didn't give an opinion, just posted the news.

I love RDJ, but he is my biggest worry about this movie. He just doesn't fit my vision of Ironman. That said, back in the day, Michael Keaton pleasantly surprised me as Batman so maybe there's hope. |

I admit he's a bit quirky, and like Keaton, kind of known for being a comedic actor...But he can do it. He can do just about anything. I didn't give an opinion, just posted the news.

Gotcha. Didn't understand the red warning thing. |
