Captain Harlock Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Being the big nerd I am here's one of the first images from the new Iron Man movie. Tony Stark will be played by Robert Downey Jr. The movie will be written and directed by Jon Favreau. Iron Man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollies65 Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 As a kid growing up Iron Man was my favorite. I never met another kid whose favorite superhero was IM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie Mississippi Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I've been excited about the prospects of this movie since I heard Robert Downey Jr was signed to play the part. He's got to be the perfect Tony Stark. Say, I wonder if "back in the day" our friend Bernie worked on any Iron Man comics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Never worked on "Iron Man," but loved the comics growing up. In fact, even better than the red/yellow suit of armor is the next pic in the gallery in your link of Iron Man's first costume. Now, that's cool!Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Benfer Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I was into many Marvel comics when I was a kid, so I always look forward to the big screen versions. But the movie that is in the works that really has me excited is "Dark Shadows" starring Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Harlock Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Might I add that Lucas Film's Industrial Light and Magic is doing the special effects for Iron Man! SUH-WEET!!Unfortunately there's no trailer at the moment and the official movie site is a bit on the sparse side. And Bernie, I had no idea you worked for Marvel. When my English teachers used to ask me what would my goal would be as a writer I'd say "I want to work for Marvel Comics!". Let's just say they didn't appreciate that as much as I did.

Raspbernie Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Growing up reading comics and drawing superheroes, my goal was to work for Marvel Comics, too. Needless to say, I was pretty excited when my portfolio landed me a job in the bullpen as an inker. I was quickly singled out by the great Tony DeZuniga to be his assistant. That got me an upgrade from the Madison Avenue Marvel offices to Tony's penthouse. It didn't take too long to figure out that I was being paid peanuts and Tony was vastly more talented than I was. So, I took my Winsor & Newton brush back to Jersey and got a job drawing girls holding hair dryers for Conair, which led to a break at an ad agency, which led to today.Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 OMG - Johnny Depp as Barnabus! I ran home from school every afternoon at 4 to watch. He will be great it in..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
