Karloff said:Hey fellow shell-heads,
My name is Conor Timmis. I am a very talented unknown actor who hopes to screen-test for the role of Tony Stark in the new "Iron Man" film. Please click on this link to view my headshot http://www.minxmodels.com/fmodels/men/conort/conort.html. If you think I look like Tony and want to help an unknown actor get a shot at this role please post on this message board and feel free to pass my photo to other "Iron Man" fans. Hopefully with your support Marvel and New Line will take notice. God Bless all of you!-Conor.
BT18 said:You say that as if it's fine. Well that's one of the major bones to pick that a VERY large number of X-Men fans have with Bryan Singer.
So, yeah, Jackman gave a good performance, it doesn't mean that someone who looked more like Wolverine couldn't have given as good if not better a performance.

Back end Deal like WOTW would be what he'd do leaving the money in place for the things you mentionedMorg said:**** Cruise! Goddammit, he will ask for 20 million or more for the role, we need someone who won't use up so much of the money when they need most of the money for the special effects
hunter rider said:If ppl don't want cruise for his height or just don't think he's right for the part thats cool but this whole "he'll eat the budget for effects " argument is ridiculous For a start he produces nearly every movie he's in and gets his pay out of the profits and secondly Iron Man has a $100M budget and thats plenty for great SFX even with cruise
okay i'm saying it's a possibility but both of us have no proof so lets drop itBT18 said:That is a grossly unsubstantiated statement that he "gets his pay out of the profits". He hasn't been contracted to jack shyte so there is no way of knowing what they can work out with him. In only 3 movies: Mission Impossible, M:I2, and WOTW, he got payed soley in Gross participation. There is nothing to show that he won't require his more usual, 25 million + a % of profits. In fact that's much more probable.
Sad to hear about Peter Cushing. Lord rest his Soul. He'll always be grand Moff Tarkin to me anyway. How about Anthony Hopkins as Hammer then?TheVileOne said:The reason why not Phatman, is because Peter Cushing has been dead for about 10 years. That might have a little something to do with it.
Also, Mandarin is not going to be in this movie. The villain will reportedly be...Howard Stark.
The last time David Hasselhoff played Nick Fury...well...things didn't work out very well.
I don't know much about Mcdermott but Orlando =Iron Boyironman1188 said:Tom Cruise is NOT Ironman. Rumors that he is being sought for the role of Hal Jordan also sicken me. Cruise pulls off the other roles he has done alright, but, at 5'7" is hardly Ironman. Now, that bieng siad, picture black hair and the Stark moustache on Orlando Bloom. And for those who don't think that Bloom, or for that matter McDermott, can carry the title role, well.....what's the new Superman's name again??
No, Fury that's cool then. Just that in all the IM stories I read (Michilne/Layton) Fury had a significant role in some stories. From what I heard the movie was going to have a "tom clancy" feel so I thought to make that feel of political intrigue of a clancy novel, it would be interesting to have Tony interacting with S.H.I.E.L.D, the pentagon and such.That being said, Fury is strong enough to stand alone in his own movie and Shellhead is strong enough to carry his own movie. How about a "tom Clancy-esqe" SHEILD movie then?BT18 said:Phatman:
Nick Fury won't be in the movie. He's getting his own movie and aren't going to cast a guy that either some other director will be stuck with or will have to recast in the marvel movieverse. There are MORE than enough characters who belong to the Iron Man corner of the Marvel universe to fill out the movie as supporting characters.

sorry i don't think he does but i noticed he has "connor timmis for iron man" thread on imdb as well,unfortunately it's been there a week and no one has even posted a replySoma-Scoff said:Hey every one am I the only one who likes the looks of this guy for Ironman.
I mean come on just throw on a mostach and bam you got Tony Stark. And I know I haven't seen him act before, but he looks the part.
get in there now!!!!!!tamron said:What if they got Jude Law? Hold on, before you lynch me. I know he's mentioned for a lot of comic roles, but we all know one of the inspirations for the character of Tony Stark was Errol Flynn. Law played Flynn in "The Aviator," and he does have the resemblence. And you know he can play he the womanizer.

Yep. There is implication that Tony is partially Italian in the old Tales of Suspense comics and an old Iron Man annual. On the otherhand, IIRC he has a relative named Hobart Stark, either his father or a cousin that sells him out in an old issue.Seth71 said:MarvelMovies, I totaly dig what you're saying about stark having a draker complexion. He always stiked me as a latino type of guy. His mother's name is maria, so maybe he is of latino background...Stark definetely must have BLACK hair, not even dark brown like Bale is getting away with. BLACK hair for Stark. I mean, how easy is it to dye a hair? Like Reeve did for Superman...But as I said, for me Stark was alyways a tanned dude with a Zorro type of mustache.
