Iron Man
With all the big tentpole updates to arrive this week it is easy to lose track of what's coming our way in 2008. One such film is Iron
Man and director Jon Favreau reports that the first week of production has gone off "without a hitch".
Iron Man Production Update
Jon Favreau has recently posted a production update on Iron Man over at his blog on MySpace.
We are done with the first week of photography. I am happy to report that the ten months of preparation allowed the extremely challenging first week of photography to come off without a hitch. The look is fantastic and the performances are great as well. Downey was definitely the right choice.
I'm looking forward to getting out of the "cave." The first few weeks of shooting are spent, somewhat in sequence, establishing Stark's captivity. It sets the table tonally for the rest of the film. The close quarters and tight schedule make it the toughest part of the shoot on the cast and crew.
Sounds like things are going well. I have been watching Robert Downey Jr. reruns of Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang on HBO and am anxious to him in his first huge tentpole.
