Robert Downey Jr. and his band of hooligans are at it again. Downey has already told off DC Comics and now "Ironman" director Jon Favreau is representing by letting everyone know what's up with the sequel.OK, maybe I made that sound more gangsta than it needs to be, but after reading that Rotten Tomatoes has some details-hints on the next Iron-film straight from Favreau then I had to talk trash on their behalf.
Yeah, "The Dark Knight" produced out of Warner Bros. and DC Comics is the great "geek movie" equalizer and will likely earn some film award love from the performance of a certain late actor. But Downey struck back by claiming the number one box office spot when "Tropic Thunder" knocked the Bat out of first place in its debut weekend.
So now Justin Theroux, the 'Tropic' screenwriter, will pen "Ironman 2" and Favreau is dropping hints about shooting some of it in IMAX. Sound familiar?
Sounds like there is a lot of enthusiasm in this project from the creators and it has potential to be as good as the first.
And while I know he is not as cool a villain as the Joker (by far), there is some mention by Favreau of how to handle Ironman's nemesis the Mandarin.
My suggestion? Diminish as many of those demeaning Asian-villain stereotypes as possible. Once again, check out the article here.
I loved the first Ironman movie. I am excited for Ironman Part 2! This movie is going to be awesome! I can't wait!
