Nickelodeon has aired a new two minute clip from Iron Man. This is one of the clips shown at WonderCon, with Tony Stark testing out the thrusters for the first time. Watch it below and tell me what you think in the comments. We also have 29 new photos from the film after the jump. Most of the photos revolve around Gwyneth Paltrow’s character Virginia ‘Pepper’ Potts, but there are a few good Iron Man shots also in the mix. Click on the photos to see super high resolution versions.

Paramount has released a new video clip from Iron Man featuring Tony Stark’s first flight in the Mark II armor. I got the see this clip and five or so more minutes of footage at WonderCon in February, but seeing the clip in full 1080p on my MacBook Pro makes me just as excited. And I love Jon Favreau’s Battlestar Galactica-inspired in flight documentary style cinematography. You get to see this towards the end of the clip. Hopefully the in-helmet shots won’t be overused as I enjoy seeing Iron Man in action.  Check it out below and tell me what you think in the comments!

Rather epic new images for this summer’s Iron Man have touched down over at Yahoo that show Tony Stark facing off against the film’s main villain Iron Monger aka Obadiah Stane (played by Jeff Bridges/killer effects). Loving how the SUV above is packed with people. Click to make them all pop. I’d say about 90% of the imagery from this film so far dazzles like few comic book films before it, but there is a debate waging about how well the film will do at the box office.
Over in the comments for Peter’s interesting Video Games Vs. Movies Rant, the questionable Grand Theft Auto IV-Iron Man “showdown” is mentioned, as [...]

The full movie trailer for Tropic Thunder has finally dropped and I’m still not sold. When the photo of Robert Downey Jr. playing a black soldier in the movie about the making of a movie, I garnered a bit of hope. My good, but easily excited, friend Alex at FirstShowing saw some footage at ShoWest, and was trying to convince all of the inhabitants of our 2008 SXSW house that it showed a lot of promise.
But after seeing this trailer, I’m not quite sure I believe his assessment. I trust that Robert Downey Jr will deliver a good performance. I’ve never been dissatisfied with any of his performances to date, [...]

Buried in this report covering yesterday’s Wizard World convention in L.A. is the news via a panel that Samuel L. Jackson may not have a cameo as Marvel character Nick Fury in Iron Man after all. Nearly a year ago AICN reported the casting news as a definite for the summer blockbuster, and since then everyone from Avi Arad to Jackson to director Jon Favreau has reluctantly nodded “yes.” Even IMDB and Wikipedia have it listed as fact. Top that!
The panel, which consisted of Wizard’s Ricky Purdin and Toyfare’s Adam Tracy, maintained that Jackson is still Nick Fury and seemed to imply that the footage with Jackson and Robert Downey [...]

The final theatrical one-sheet for Jon Favreau’s Iron Man has hit the web. I’m not a big fan of the floating head aesthetic, and this is kind of an off-shoot of that overused marketing style. But at the same time I also understand that you can’t just sell the movie with a bad ass photo of Iron Man. The movie studio is playing it smart and hedging their bets by putting some sparkle out there to attract the non-comicbook geek masses.
Update: The poster is not the final poster after all. Cinematical just posted a second new poster, which can be seen below. I prefer thedark Star Wars type set-up of [...]

At one point, George Miller was in talks to take Justice League America down the all-CGI route a la Beowulf, and now Marvel’s dream-team flick, The Avengers, might be headed in that direction as well according to screenwriter Zak Penn (X-Men 2 and 3, The Incredible Hulk). Of course, this whole uber-caped enchilada depends on the success of this summer’s Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk, as both Tony Stark and Bruce Banner are key players. Director Jon Favreau has previously stated his interest in directing a live-action version that would team up Robert Downey Jr. and Ed Norton. Penn says that all-CGI talks have definitely happened…
“Absolutely. It’s [...]

I opened up my email this morning to see a message from my friend Neil at FSR titled “LOL Are you kidding me? This is awesome…”
Turns out that Entertainment Weekly released the first production photo for Ben Stiller’s summer comedy Tropic Thunder, and it features our first look at Robert Downey Jr.’s character Kirk Lazarus, who is a black man. That’s right, Robert is in black face, and from what little I can tell from the photo, he doesn’t look that bad as a black man. But even funnier, Robert plays a white man playing a black man. confused?
His character, Lazarus, is a “very serious Oscar-winning actor” who is cast [...]

The new movie trailer for Iron Man which premiered at WonderCon, aired during LOST tonight. The trailer begins much like the previous teaser, with Tony Stark demonstrating the Jericho, when he is captured. After building the Mach 1 suit in a cage, Stark escapes. This is where the real new footage begins, and not to sound too much like Alex Billington, but this trailer kicks so much ass you’ll have to watch it at least three times. I’m still not sold on the closing shot where Iron Man blows up a tank. It still looks too much like a video game to me, but that’s just a minor complaint. From [...]

Jon Favreau, looking a few pounds lighter, answered some questions and premiered some Iron Man footage at WonderCon in San Francisco. Favreau began with a bang, showing a bunch of new footage from the film.
The sequence begins with Stark hard at work building the jet thruster boots that you see briefly in the SuperBowl spot. He tries the thrusters for the first time set to 10% and is thrown into the back-wall/roof. A robot arm tries to extinguish a nonexistent fire. He makes a second attempt which results in him hovering 4-5 feet above the ground, however he starts to lose control and hovers over a couple of expensive cars [...]

Vanity Fair decided to recreate some of the classic scenes from the films of Alfred Hitchcock using modern day actors and actresses. Imagine Charlize Theron in Dial M For Murder, Gwyneth Paltrow and Robert Downey Jr. in To Catch a Thief, Seth Rogen in North by Northwest, Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem in Rear Window, Niomi Watts in Marnie, Keira Knightley and Jennifer Jason Leigh in Rebecca, Emile Hirsch and James McAvoy in Strangers on a Train, Rene Zellweger in Vertigo, Jodie Foster in The Birds, or Tang Wei, Josh Brolin, Casey Affleck, Eva Marie Saint, Ben Foster, Omar Metwally and Julie Christie in Lifeboat.
Well stop imagining, the photos are [...]

Earlier tonight we posted the awesome new Iron Man television advertisement which aired during the Super Bowl. Still want more Iron Man? Good, because after the jump, I have for you, 13 new production photos from the film. As always, click on the images to enlarge.

The new Iron Man television spot which premiered during the Super Bowl has everyone talking. It certainly got me pumped to see the film, although, a lot of people seem to be questioning the overtly CG animated sequence towards the end (yes, it did look somewhat like a video game cut scene). But I’m pretty sure this is just unfinished early effects work. If you haven’t already, check out the television spot below. Please comment and tell me what you thought!

A new photo of Iron Man has appeared online and while it’s similar to the many others belonging to Jon Favreau’s Marvel champ, this is not unlike the thousands of photos of Kate Moss you’ve viewed over the years. Plus, Tony Stark’s suit looks a little angrier than normal and he’s flexing it like he’s in an ad for vitamins. One day I hope to see Robocop and ole’ Iron Sides having tea and crumpets. Who do you think, if either, would cross his legs at the table, and who would get the check? View the photo after the jump…

Marvel has released two new photos from the upcoming film adaptation of Iron Man. The first photo, seen above, shows Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) testing a gauntlet from the armor. Yes, this photo looks very similar to the photo that was released last week. The next photo, seen below, shows director Jon Favreau discussing a scene on the workshop set. As always, click on the images to enlarge.
