Favreau directing Iron Man????

[heck yeh baby X]

I just saw him on My Name is Earl playing the manager of a fast food resturant.....the guy is pretty versitile! He was also Murdock's partner in Daredevil

 

[MJB]

Hype confirmed that he will be directing IM.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

Great news. He is a member of my poker site but is rarely on there...at least under his name. It would be sweet to catch him on there and chat a little about Iron Man. Superb choice...I think he will give Iron Man the respect he deserves.

 

[tamron]

I really, really wanted Alex Proyas for IM, but Favreau will do a good job.

 

[Darth Rockwell]

so does that mean he will get his own form?

 

[LordSimen]

I love Favreau but I'm not so sure about a man who's known for his comedy and family movies handling clearly a movie set to be action-oriented.

I'm a bit disappointed from the news: I'd prefer to have one high-profile director. The Hayter draft is very very good but I hope in "a page one rewrite" ditching the father/son angle.

 

[Shoemeister]

This is spectaculr news. I've been a Jon Favreau fan since forever... especially Dinner For Five. Great show.

He'll do the character justice. Can't wait!

 

[ScarletSpider]

I'm also very happy about this. Iron Man's in good hands.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Ive never seen any of his directorial efforts so i can but wait and see how he manages but i would have much preferred someone with action/sci fi experience like Proyas

 

[ScarletSpider]

Although it didn't do so well at the box office, Zathura was quite critically acclaimed.

 

[ultimatefan]

Yeah, now I´m gonna have to see Zathura and see how I like the guy as a director.

 

[Mr. Credible]

as long as he can get someoen to help him out with the action, i think this'll be a good thing.

 

[Ironman24]

This is AWESOME news, he's a very good directer, Iron Man is in very good hands.

 

[Milkman95]

Favreau is excellent - this is good news for Iron-Man fans. Iron-man will compete with Hulk and Batman in the Summer of 2008 more than likely.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Yeah, now I´m gonna have to see Zathura and see how I like the guy as a director.

That's what i was thinking

 

[Milkman95]

That's what i was thinking

Me too...........

 

[IronMan_2005]

I'm going to have to check out Elf and Zathura this weekend.

From the positive things most people are saying about Favreau, I'm feeling pretty good about this right now!

 

[Ironman24]

The only question I really have right now is who are Arthur Marcum and Matt Halloway, Marvel says they are helping write Iron Man, I checked them out on imdb.com, and they have 1 writing credit a peice both the same horror flick.

 

[CConn]

I haven't really seen much from Favreau either, but considering his rather good reputation, and obvious interest in Marvel, he seems like a pretty strong choice to me. Obviously, I'm a bit disappointed they didn't go with Proyas or someone with a bit more experience, but then Marvel's never been one to get big name directors for their films (not that Proyas is a big name).

 

[LordSimen]

None of you have seen Elf? If you have, Jon directed that too.

 

[CConn]

I've seen it, but it's sorta hard to get any impression on serious direction from a children's film...

 

[LordSimen]

I've seen it, but it's sorta hard to get any impression on serious direction from a children's film...

That's pretty much what I've been worried about- He's mostly directed comedy and/or family films so I'm worried about him taking on a dramatic action movie.

 

[GNR]

I love Favreau but I'm not so sure about a man who's known for his comedy and family movies handling clearly a movie set to be action-oriented.

As much action there will be,the internal struggles Tony has despite all his wealth and power will make this movie.

 

[Darthphere]

Great news IMO.


By the way, why is it that people start threads as questions when they know the answer?
