Iron Man 3 Fan Edition Poster Has Tony Stark Getting Close To Pepper Potts

By 1 Comment

Iron-Man-3-Fan-Edition-posterIron Man 3 is certainly going for the prize of 2013 release with the best posters. In the last few weeks we’ve had numerous characters posters, and now a new ‘fan edition’ poster has debuted, featuring Tony Stark cuddling up to a rather concerned look Pepper Potts.

There’s also a fresh international version of the trailer, with a bit of new footage, which you can see below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Marvel’s “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?

‘Starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, Rebecca Hall, Stephanie Szostak, James Badge Dale with Jon Favreau and Ben Kingsley, “Iron Man 3” is directed by Shane Black from a screenplay by Drew Pearce and Shane Black and is based on Marvel’s iconic Super Hero Iron Man, who first appeared on the pages of “Tales of Suspense” (#39) in 1963 and had his solo comic book debut with “The Invincible Iron Man” (#1) in May of 1968.’

New Iron Man 3 Trailer Arrives – A bit of a darker tone for Tony Stark

By Leave a Comment


It’s not long at all until Iron Man 3 hits UK cinemas on April 25th and the US on May 3rd, so it’s time to kick the hype up a gear with an ace new trailer. It suggests a more serious tone than the first two films, with Tony Stark dropping his jokey, cocksure attitude as The Mandaring emerges and threatens to rip his life apart.

Luckily though he’s going to spice things up with a whole team of iron people!

Robert Downey Jr Takes On The Black Mirror Episode, The Entire History Of You

By Leave a Comment

Robert-Downey-JrWhile its not unusual for Hollywood to pick up the rights to a TV series, it’s rarer for someone to buy a single episode with the hop of turning it into a movie. However that’s what’s happened with Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror.

The episode The Entire History Of You has certainly excited some of Hollywood’s top names, with Bleeding Cool reporting that Robert Downey Jr. beat out George Clooney for the rights. At the moment Downey is just down to produce, but could well star as well.

The episode, written by Jesse Armstrong, is set in a future where humans have tiny implants that record the person’s entire life, making all memories and events available for playback. Toby Kebbell plays a lawyer who’s worried about losing his wife (Jodie Whittaker) and think she could be having an affair with another man (Tom Cullen). The chip implant plays a big part in unraveling past events and what’s actually going on.

Black Mirror returned to UK TV this week, and it’ll be interesting to see if any other episodes excite Hollywood.

Charlize Theron May Join Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice

By Leave a Comment

For a couple of years now, Paul Thomas Anderson has been attempting to adapt Thomas charlize-theronPynchon’s Inherent Vice – indeed he originally wanted to make it before The Master. He’s already got Robert Downey Jr. attached to the male lead, and now Showbiz411 reports that he may have found a female lead, Charlize Theron.

Pynchon’s novel tells the story of a stoner PI (Downey Jr.) in 1969 Los Angeles who gets mixed up in a series of mysteries while the Manson Family murder trail plays out in the background. There’s no news on exactly who Theron will play, but it’s likely to be either the PI’s ex-girlfriend, who is now dallying with a big-name real estate mogul, or the mogul’s wife (which seems more likely).

There’s no news on exactly when it might shoot, but hopefully PTA will get round to it soon and we won’t have another seven year gap, like there was between There Will Be Blood and The Master.

Jane Goldman Writing Pinocchio For Robert Downey Jr. & Tim Burton

By Leave a Comment

Jane Goldman used to be best known as Jonathan Ross’ wife, but thanks to Stardust, Kick-Ass, The Debt, X-Men: First Class and The Woman In Black she’s now one of the hottest screenwriters in Hollywood. THR reports that she’s now in talks to write the screenplay for Pinocchio, which has Robert Downey Jr. attached to star and Tim Burton set to direct.

The first news on the project arrived back in January, when Downey Jr. and Burton signed on. At that time Bryan Fuller (Hannibal, Pushing Daisies) was on scripting duties, but they now want Goldman to take over. This version of the classic tale will feature Robert Downey Jr. as Geppetto, who creates the wooden puppet Pinocchio. When his creation goes missing, Geppetto goes on a journey to find the marionette.

It isn’t known when production may begin.

Jack Nicholson May Be Robert Downey Jr’s Father In The Judge

By Leave a Comment

Jack Nicholson’s screen roles have become ever rarer. We’ve only had two films from him in the last two years, How Do You Know in 2010 and The Bucket List in 2007. However now Warner Bros. is trying to lure him back in front of the camera according to THR, offering Nicholson a pivotal role in their courtroom drama, The Judge. Robert Downey Jr. is already attached to star, and Nicholson would play his father.

Downey Jr. will play an attorney, who returns home for his mother’s funeral. The lawyer comes to learn that his father is suspected of killing her mom. He must defend his dad, a judge with Alzheimer’s disease, reconnecting with the man he walked away from years ago.

It isn’t known if the two-time Oscar winner, who is famously picky about which roles he takes on, will accept the offer. Nick Schenk (Gran Torino) penned the original screenplay, with Bill Dubuque offering rewrites. David Dobkin will direct. The plan is to shoot sometime next year.
