Iron Man: Jon Favreau exclusive interview and new preview clips

by Grace on April 30th, 2008

Buzz about the Iron Man movie from those who were privy to its premiere showing are all saying it lives up to its hype. I admit I wasn’t too excited when I first heard about it. But as I watched the trailers and followed the previews and interviews, I am now psyched about this movie!

The movie is directed by Jon Favreau, who might have well been Iron Man’s biggest fan, from the way he talks about the movie in this behind-the-scene. He is definitely a comics fan, and maybe more specifically a Marvel Comics fan.

“When Marvel sets out to make a movie, their priority’s a little bit different. They’re servicing a fanbase. They’re protecting the source material. They are the keepers of this pantheon of characters that have made the corporation profitable over the last whatever it is, 40 years, and they’ve built it to this merchandising empire.” - Jon Favreau
