Jon Favereu looks thin.

He lost a ton of weight in the past 2 years.

^I think it may just be a Big Lebowski joke, you know, since Jeff Bridges is "The Dude."

Ya beat me to it. It's playing on the mistaken identity motif in The Big Lebowski. Classic.

Ah, yes! Very clever!

Does anyone have a screen grab of the Arab dude in the desert holding up the Mach 1 faceplate with the sand pouring out of it?

Why did Japan have to wait this long for Iron Man?

 

[spiderfan970]

Does anyone have any high res photos from any of the cast member's photo shoots for magazines? I remember ones for RDJ and Gwyneth

[Hurm...]

Hope Sam can be a better Fury then an Octopus. LOL

 

[Retroman]

Love how they played attention to minors details such as his scars which are identical to Ultimate Fury's. Never noticed that in the cinema.

Why did Japan have to wait this long for Iron Man?

It's not just Iron Man. Most big budget movies get released later over there.

 

[Drizzle]

It's not just Iron Man. Most big budget movies get released later over there.

Yeah, but 5 freaking months? And after everyone else got it back in May?

 

[Retroman]

^^Yeah, it's long but it's a strategy that seems to work all these years.

Downey's stunt double Richard Cetrone...

Bridges took this and more pics on the set of IM (more at the link)...

Jeff Bridges' Pics:
Actor Jeff Bridges takes a self-portrait while hair stylist Nina Paskowitz shaves his head to prepare him for his role as Obadiah Stane in "Iron Man."
Bridges started taking pictures on the sets of his movies years ago with a Widelux panning still camera.

He says he first came in contact with the camera during a high school class picture. But it was his wife, Susan Bridges, who surprised him with the Widelux camera as a wedding gift. He hasn't stopped snapping since.

Some behind the scenes pics with additional info courtesy of sculptor and designer Miles Teves official site:

IronMan helmet prototype
I was brought on to Iron Man as a 'concept sculptor', and was given the task of translating Adi Granov's design (by way of Phil Saunders' into a life-sized sculpture. I believe I used a lifecast of Marlon Wayans as an armature. He had a big head, so I figured there would be plenty of room for anyone to wear it if it were to be molded and cast, which it eventually was.
Good old Phil raked me over the coals with this one, introducing me to a variety of techniques used by people who design cars and sculpt prototypes for them. There was much fretting about reflections, and much new terminology was learned my yours truly about curves and transitions, and other very serious transportation design verbiage, and special tools were used, as well as lots of bits of special 'tape'. I'm not sure how much of this was really needed, as I would have probably arrived at the same place with or without all the added restrictions, but it did make things interesting.
I tried to adapt the drawings into 3D as elegantly as I possibly could. I remember Avi Arad stopping by my smelly little office and commenting that whenever in doubt, I should err on the side of 'heroic'.
Made sense to me.

This prototype was intentionally asymmetrical. Each side had a slightly different solution as to the breakup of the lines, and the shape of the eyes. Hardly noticable.

IRON MAN full-body maquette
After I finished the helmet, and it was sent off to Satan Winston's studio to be molded and cast, I moved on to this sculpture. They wanted a massive maquette of the full Iron Man mark-3 costume, and they wanted it to be over 3 feet tall. I argued against this for a bit as a statuette of this size is not only cumbersome and difficult to armature, it would also take much, much longer to complete, but they were paying me the checks, so they got what they wanted in the end. I think I was given me a month to do it, and I went over that by a week. Maybe I am a slow sculptor, but through all the fighting of the armature (revisions that require tearing the damn thing apart), and trying to work out the proportions and shapes and details, I never really got to take this thing to the finish I aspired to. It was ultimately a tight 'rough' concept sculpt.
They never molded this big boy, so I imagine that it is sitting somewhere in one of John Favreau's garages, crumbling...and crumbling....

Ha! I told you geeks in the FF boards that Marvel was going to do the same thing in films that it did in the comics - create the Marvel Universe!

Cross-overs and cross-references in movies just like they did in the comics....sheer genius!!!

God bless the United States of America, the spirit of free enterprise and crazy-ass cowboy entrepreneurs!
