Iron Man Producer Don Murphy off the project, he has no faith in the director!

[CGHulk]

From his official site! http://www.d13satellite.com/donmurphy/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12306&perpage=25&pagenumber=1
"FYI I no longer have any involvement with IRON MAN. It is a much longer story that I WILL tell soon. Let's just say I feel like Clark Kent and have dodged a bullet. I mean I watched ZATHURA and wonder if anyone else involved bothered."

 

[kedrell]

He doesn't exactly have a glowing track record himself. Maybe he thinks people have forgotten about his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen movie.

 

[Ironman24]

One thing to remember about Don Murphy is he's a jerk, and he thinks very highly of himself, I'm not surprised he said this about the movie, he usually attacks people and projects that he feels he got screwed on, I think it was pretty obviuos when the project reverted back to marvel from New Line Murphy would no longer be involved, I just don't know why it took him so long to acknowlege it.

 

[Chaos Bringer]

he's a craptacular producer so farewell to thee bozo!

 

[Ironfan72]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Don Murphy, I was on his boards many times and he can be a huge @$$. I read his comments, and for some reason he just can't be a man and say, "I'm not involved any longer, and I wish them all success." no he has to attack to production and say he quote" I dodged a bullet." Personally I think Iron Man and Marvel dodged a bullet by not keeping him, he's more trouble than he's worth.
It just seems that his comments come just before Comic-con, so now Marvel and Jon Favreau now have to answer questions about this idiot and hi childish comments.

i say we hunt him down like a dog in the streets who's with me?!?!?!?!

LOL, I don't think we need to go that far, however, he should think before he speaks, another thing to remember, he's producing Transformers which is a Paramount film, as is Iron Man, Paramount may want to think about telling this guy to shut his mouth, its not good business to undermine a movie franchise thats at the same studio.

What a prick. Zathura was a great little film. It's no blockbuster but it was very well made and fun. Did the guy see Elf???

 

[Advanced Dark]

Here's how YOU can get your thread closed TOO, kids....
1- Call out to me in the headline, like Hey, Don or something. I'm not your *****. I try to read everything. You don't need to make this place even MORE about me. Just post. If I feel like responding, I sho nuff will.
2- Pointless negativity. I am fine with negativity since I am composed of pork and hatred. But make a post just to ask who should direct the film instead of Michael and bam, see ya. Michael's the director and doing an awesome job. Start a thread about something intelligent, whether positive or negative and it stays. But if it is little whiny fanboy crap, hey, I'll close it.
3- Attack me or people I work with personally. That's always a winner for the everyday coward.
4- Be insanely off topic.

From his own sites after posting what he did. Hypocrite.

What a putz.

 

[RAMORE]

Is that him What a dufus...

 

[Kaboom]

i liked zathura. and he was spot on as foggy nelson

 

[Chris B]

The thing that I find funny is that all he has to say is that the film will suck and the majority of posters, at that board, adopt that mindset.

 

[Retroman]

I've read some of his comments on message board and the way he attacks some of the TF fans is quite unbelievable.

I suppose he wanted Bay to do Iron Man?

Zathura was great...period. Most all critics agreed but there are a handful of reasons on why it wasn't a big hit at the box office starting off with awareness, the title, and the competition.

What a dumba$$.

Ya agreed. He is a complete as%hole.

You mean Transformers fans right?

Bay would absolutely kill Iron Man. He'd stick Affleck, Harnett, or Cage in as Tony Stark and any depth, suspense or intrigue would go out the window.

While i really don't have a lot of time for Murphy but we know very little of Fav's ability to make a movie on this scale,he seems a nice guy but i'd like to see some footage of the film before i take a side

True.
Iron Man will either be a hit or miss.

IM is my favorite Marvel Superhero, too.

considering Jon Favreau directing abilities are not yet even known, and most peoople know him better as an actor[ he should stick to that]. I just think Murphy makes a point, why would you cast an actor/"director" to do movie of this "Calliber". Jon favreau played foggey Nelson a few years back, and now he is directing a movie like this? lol

 

[Darthphere]

Were better off without him.

Jon Favreau directed Elf and Zathura, this isnt his first time, lol.

 

[kedrell]

He also directed Made. All of his movies that he's directed(I realize it's just 3) are fresh on RT. He's shown he's got real talent as a director.

Yes.

Bay might be better suited for Superman. He's a big fan of Americana and if Warner ever wanted a overly patriotic/action-packed interpretation of the character they should get him.
