The Iron Man Movie is based on a Marvel Comics character Tony Stark who is more widely known as Iron Man. The Ironman Movie is directed by Jon Favreau to be released in May of 2008. Tony Stark aka Iron Man is played by Robert Downey Jr. Robert Downey Jr. has been accepted by Ironman movie fans everywhere as was reflected in one of the Iron Man movie polls I took on this website. In the Iron Man Movie after Tony Stark, the billionaire weapons technology manufacturer and playboy, is captured by Terrorists in Afghanistan Tony Stark is ordered to build a missle.
During Tony Stark�s capture in the Ironman Movie shrapnel lodges near his heart and Tony must seemingly cooperate with the terrorists or die. Stark instead, using his super intelligence and cunning, instead builds a pacemaker-type of apparatus and the Mark I armor around it which is the clunky looking Iron Man armor that you see first appear in one of the first Ironman Movie trailer. After Tony Stark�s escape using the Mark I armour he sees his life developing a purpose and sets out on a mission ��to protect the people I�ve put into harm�s way.� In the Iron Man Movie Tony Stark later develops his �hot rod red� highly advanced Mark III armor. Robert Downey Jr. is perfect for his role as Tony Stark in the Ironman Movie because like Tony Stark he has struggled with personal problems of his own. Though most actors do not take roles in comic book hero movies seriously Robert Downey Jr. has stood out as an exception weight training and practicing martial arts and truly commiting to the role as Iron Man in the upcoming Iron Man movie.
The Iron Man movie also stars Gwyneth Paltrow as the secretary and subtle love interest, Virginia Pepper Potts. Also in the Ironman movie is Tony Stark's good friend James Rhodes ( later to assume the role as hero, War Machine) who is played by Terrence Howard. Lieutenant Colonel James �Rhodey� Rhodes naturally becomes a good friend of Tony Stark who saved the stranded pilot after Rhodes crashes in enemy territory. James Rhodes serves as Tony Stark's moral conscience to a degree in the Iron Man movie disapproving of Stark�s lifestyle. The villain of the Ironman movie is Obadiah Stane played by Jeff Bridges who later assumes the role as Iron Monger. Other actors in the Iron Man Movie include Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Gerard Sanders as Howard Stark (Tony Stark�s Father), Shaun Toub as Yin Sen who is imprisoned with Tony Stark by the terrorists and later sacrifices his life so that Tony Stark can survive and Leslie Bibb as the tough and sassy reporter you see in the 1st Ironman movie trailer interviewing Tony Stark as the "Merchant of Death." Iron Man movie cameoes will be done by Stan Lee, Ghostface Killah, Jon Favreau and Hilary Swank. Marvel Studios reacquired the rights to the Iron Man Movie in 2006 after New Line Cinema had it�s opportunity to make the Ironman Movie for 4 years. Before New Line Cinema 20th Century Fox had a chance to make the Iron Man Movie and before that it was Universal Studios in 1990.
Not very well known at the time as a director, Jon Favreau (also an actor in such films as Very Bad Things and Swingers) was signed on to direct the Ironman Movie. Later Jon Favreau would shoot the Iron Man Movie in California no doubtedly a wise choice that sets the mood for Tony Stark's character, a very laid back wealthy playboy who never took himself very seriously if that sounds like your personality you just may be a Californian. A very important decision to make for the Ironman Movie was on what direction to head with the look and operation of the many interpretations of Iron Man armors since it was conceived. The decision was made to go with the Iron Man Armor style of Adi Granov for the Iron Man Movie based on the work he did on his artistic and visionary interpretation of the Ironman Armour for the comic. The marketing budget for the Ironman Movie is enormous as Paramount Pictures in partnership with Marvel have at least a $50 million dollar budget to work with. It's obvious the Iron Man movie will be a huge success based on the Ironman movie photo gallery of incredible special effects and talent and acting on faith Jon Favreau has already planned on Ironman movie to be the first of three signing all the key actors needed. Like the Potter films the Iron Man Movies will gradually grow darker in tone and develop its truly rich and very human story as Tony Stark�s alcoholism comes into play.
Exciting to Marvel fans and Ironman Movie fans everywhere was the recent discovery that the Iron Man Movie will crossover with the Incredible Hulk movie. Incredible Hulk movie fans can be excited that some Incredible Hulk elements will also be seen in the Ironman Movie. There have also been rumors floating around that all of the interlinking between summer �08 and later Marvel character based films will lead up to a climax release of the Avengers Movie.
