Iron Man Jon Favs update - May 24th

[the reel chris]

Jon Favreau

I'm exhausted. I could never have imagined how overwhelming of an experience a movie like this is. I could not be happier with the way the movie is turning out or the reactions we are getting to both the official and unofficial images that are floating out there in cyberspace.

I have been relatively quiet for two main reasons. First, I feel like the General of a huge military campaign. I have no life other than Ironman. Between the script, sets, effects, shooting and editing, I am completely monopolized.

The second reason is, you IM fans are like criminal profilers. You take a few official statements and images, a couple of off the cuff remarks from press junkets and red carpets, and some deftly gathered surveillence footage and are able to take some very uncanny stabs at what the movie will be. The movie is a year away. If I don't keep a few tricks up my sleeve, I can't knock you on your ass in 2008. At the rate you're going, you'll have everything figured out by then. I don't mean to be evasive, but it's my job. I've got to lay low.

(At least until Comicon.)

Nice to hear from Jon, I could only imagine how much time he takes to make this big of a movie.
I can certainly understand him not giving away anything about the movie, he's still got to have some surprises, I can deal with that.

Great post. Hell I need to check more than my CP from time to time. Already sent this to SHH but not up yet.

Jon nailed it right on the head. I love how he's playing tricks on us and being evasive like this. Way better than overexposure

Good lookin out J. Fav - You are correct sir, I'll back off- it's best when your overloaded when it hits the mainland!! A whole year away! Spiderman stuff was easy to ignore, since he isn't 'my guy', so I'll have to take a step back and let the majik happen.

Jon seems like such a chill guy, I'm glad he's helming Iron Man...

 

[Silvermoth]

Comic con? Whens that? And is this a possible hint towards showing the trailer at Comic con?

Plus, I love the fact that he goes on online forums and cares about the fans. Good on ya favreau

Favs rules. I can't wait to see what he show at Comic-Con(July 25-27 I believe).

I think he personally called you a criminal profiler, AD. You always seem to be one step ahead of the curve. You drove Favreau underground.

Well you can't help people for being excited for this movie. Having said that they should have done been more carefull when filming the sequences with Iron Man and what we assume is the Iron Monger.

So Mandarin may be used only for cameo? It doesn't make sense. Alright, I could live with him not being the main villian (at least being an important figure of 2nd category in story)m but this? This would suck

I would prefer that they do that instead of trying to merge two unrelated characters.

Well taking in to consideration the fact that they would otherwise be pulling a
"The Conqueror" with Jeff Bridges character... It's for the best.
