The Silver State Chronicles

He’s back!

With the world now aware of his dual life as the armored superhero Iron Man, billionaire inventor Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) faces pressure from the government, the press, and the public to share his technology with the military. Unwilling to let go of his invention, Stark, along with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), and James “Rhodey” Rhodes (Don Cheadle) at his side, must forge new alliances — and confront powerful enemies: Whiplash and Justin Hammer!

Opens on May 7, 2010 in the USA!

They must be nervous

Looks like the movie execs are getting a little antsy bout their upcoming Incredible Hulk film. After all, their first Hulk film a few years ago was decidedly underwhelming. A very forgettable film. Well, the sequel/reboot has a new cast and new creative people behind it.

And this Summer’s big movie hero, Iron Man himself Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.)

I got the impression that they were keeping the cameo appearance of Tony Stark in The Incredible Hulk a bit on the QT. And why not – a neat crossover appearance by Marvel’s other Summer 2008 hero was just the thing to get the oldschool fans excited, and get everyone ready for The Avengers movie in 2011.

So they decided to let Tony Stark’s cameo appearance slip in the TV ads. So I’m not giving anything away! Still, I wonder if there will be anything after The Incredible Hulk’s end credits. Hmmmm…

Amazing Armor, Iron Man

Some news on the Iron Man film project that has been kicking around for several years now. The jury is still out on this one, but let’s give it a chance!

Academy award nominee Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow) has been cast as Tony Stark’s confidant, Jim “Rhodey” Rhodes. Howard will be joining Robert Downey Jr. who is set to portray Tony Stark and Iron Man.

Also, on July 22, 2006 at the San Diego Comic-Con, director Jon Favreau confirmed that the villain for the upcoming film would be The Mandarin. He also announced that, “The suit will be more like a weapons platform than a flying suit – more of a War Machine-feel to it.”

Word is the movie will help kick off the Summer 2008 movie season when it opens on May 2, 2008.

I don’t have either a good feeling nor a particularly bad feeling about this project based on what we know so far. I can’t say that Robert Downey Jr. matches my vision for Tony Stark, but I’m willing to give it a chance! I guess we will all find out in 2008!
