Iron Man Movie News

Well in advance, news about the upcoming Iron Man movie is already hitting the press.

Star of the upcoming film, Robert Downey, Jr., spoke with USA Today recently, touching upon many of the points I made when it was announced that he would portray multi-billionaire, Tony Stark. Like Downey, Jr., Stark dealt with substance abuse problems in the title and had his share of ups and downs, both publicly and privately.

Director, Jon Favreau (Swingers, Elf), posted an update on MySpace this weekend, letting everyone know how things are going. Not much real information to report, but at least we know everything's going ahead as planned.

Iron Man is scheduled for a wide theatrical release in 2008.
