THE IRON MAN TRAILER IS ON ITS WAY!!!

the trailer is awesome ps cant wait!

1st, babee

3rd

I just can't wait.

a minute? 45 seconds? not that it really matters as i'll wait for the quicktime to see it (again) anyway, but that one will surely be longer, too...

fuck i dont live in america. guess i'll have to wait till you american swines put it on u tube

so i'm going to assume then that whatever they air during those shows, is the same teaser to be put online... so i guess i answered my own question. sorta.

For some reason I keep feeling this is being way over hyped. Isn't this like having a Hawkman movie in the DC universe?

I think we need an existential themed superhero movie with cubist sensibilities. You know, just to shake up the genre a bit. I nominate Deadpool.

you mean because people here freaked out already calling it a great movie based only on a single photo a few months back? naaaaah never.

I think Iron Man is a little more well known than Hawkman or... well, any of the DC characters besides Batman or Superman.

Hype/schmype. I loved the comic as a kid and always thought Iron Man should be a big-budget feature. I got my wish. I just have to sit back, relax, and wait for it to come. I hope for the best, but expect the worst (that's why Spiderman 3 wasn't TOO awful for me!).

Now, if I only knew if Fav's was going with HD-DVD, or Blu-Ray.

this movie looks stupid

Quicktime" STOP fuckin' sayin IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is hilarious to me that it irritates people! I'm sure I'm not alone. With the exception of Gweneth Paltrow casting, I am 100% on board with 'Favs' on this one!

I nominate MADMAN by Mike Allred...no others need apply! Isn't Robert Rodriguez already developing this...?

I just saw this on YouTube and wasn't sure if it is real, or from an existing DVD?<br><br>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIF4lPglEBk

...still in mourning over Spider-Man 3.

Looking forward to this. Like Iron Man and cannot wait for this movie.

not just the photo from a few months back...but the cast, and of course, the trailer at Comic-Con that kicked all kinds of ass in the much the same way the 300 one did the year before. There is reason to be excited.

said Jackass 2.5 was gonna be a dvd with new stuff they just filmed. Don't know when its coming out thought

Just thought they might be going with a Naked Gun type joke, but it wouldn't really make alot of sense.

The Dark Knight is still going to be Summer 2008's 800lb gorilla.

that Iron Man will have a good opening weekend. It should do as well as Batman Begins. It will definitely top FF2.

"terrorists and freedom fighters will get that baby up faster than a 74..."<P>Harry, 9-11 jokes won't be funny for a few more years. Hang in there, you pillar of taste, class and excellence, you.

the message needs to be hammered home until all of the studios learn it. every time a trailer surfaces in shitty quality flash i want to vomit, and half the time i just stop the damn thing in the middle. if you're gonna market a film online, don't half-ass it.

I'm so sad... sniffle... nobody loves me... sniffle

Every time I see the hype surrounding this film, I have the same "meh" reaction: Iron Man?!? C'mon, it's not even a "B" level Marvel hero. We're truly scraping the bottom of the barrel when folks are popping wood for Iron Man.

Do you really think that Iron Man is that popular of a character?

We need a newlywed update from the Austin home office.

The trailer already leaked on youtube by someone,I dunno how,who was able to film it on Comcon 07.It's awesome!So look for it before it's taken ou the air!!!!!!

Is that a fair comparison. In the Marvel Universe you can put Spidey, Wolvie, Cap, Hulk, Xavier all above Iron Man. I'd say Iron Man is a full step above Blade, but also right on par with Punisher. In the DC Universe, I guess Hawkman was a little low. Green Lantern would be about right on par though.

I would agree that Punisher, Daredevil, and Iron Man are on the same level. Although, I would think that the Green Lantern would be above Iron Man.

And I've really been confused as to how this could be considered Mega Blockbuster? I also admit that I've been shocked at how Rocketeersishly excited this has made me as well. It does seem like the studios are finally taking things seriously. I just hope we don't have an Iron Man flying around under bridges hiding from tanks a la Transformers backyard scene. I will say this, they are following through beyond anything I had expectations for. Retrocool is in full effect.

Yeah, I guess we're looking between Hawkman and Green Lantern then. Does such a level exist in the DC Universe? Yeah, go ahead and sound the Nerd Alert. I can handle it. Lantern would be more of a Cyclops. Hawkman more of a Blade. I'd say the Martian, but since he never has had his own stand alone series, he'll always be a side note. I guess you could say that Iron Man has no equal.

Dang, you beat me to it. Yer such a Superboy Prime.

is utter shit, yea?

In my mind that is, it was amazing!

It always just makes me laugh when I happen to hear of or see that someone even relatively famous has literally THOUSANDS of official "friends" on their myspace. Honestly, why do the "regular people" even bother to be added to them? You're literally (sorry to use it twice) just a # in that case, what, you think Jon Favreau is gonna see your name among the masses and decide he wants to be real actual friends with you? He doesn't know who 98% of those people are, nor does he care (& I don't blame him). It just gets laughable when the numbers are up that high, it means nothing to be a part of that group. So really, what's the point of being added? It just seems so silly.

sorry Favreau but batman is batman

...the Comic Con footage was just so right. I think a lot of people are going to be really surprised by this movie next year, including those who think summer 2008 will belong to TDK (and I'm basically one of those people!). Not only does the suit stuff -- prototype as well as the Mach III or whatever it's called -- come off sublimely cool, but the character stuff with Downey looks as good as the stuff you'd find in a movie that didn't have painfully cool robotic suits and giddily awesome superheroics to pull in an audience; he's got such a magnetic screen presence, and a way of owning and riffing on the dialogue that makes you buy him right away. I can't wait for next May. Hey, that rhymed.

So far, what I've seen looks good, looks great even, but a trailer does not a movie make! Please be good, please? It could be GREAT, but I'd be happy with good. Please? Be kind...

J/K.

and this should be great. I was skeptical of Favreau at first given his association with the abortion that was Daredevil (God, please, a do-over!) but everything sounds wonderful and the cast is rock solid. It looks like a serious, adult-minded adaptation a la Begins or even, dare I say it as the film's sole remaining fan, The Hulk. Pair this with an Avengers film with Matt Damon as Cap and you have gold.

I don't speak for all 30,000 of his "friends", but the reason I become "friends" with any famous person on myspace (mostly bands though) is to receive their bulletins to keep me updated on tours or projects they are involved in that I may be interested in. It keeps me from having to search for shit and keeps my e-mail free from all the crap.

MXCLMCMXXI

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DiQ-fLS5qnI <P> Can't be any worse that the animated film that came out earlier this year. If Iron Man has backupsuit come in to rescue him at anytime, I will walk out. <P>

I could not be more excited about this movie. It will be huge.. mark my words! Bring it on!!!!!!!

'Cause I don't watch these other shows! :(

thanks youtube dude. . .

What difference does it make what channel you watch it on unless you're a Nielson Family?

that IRON MAN has some pretty stiff competition in May... Especially after its first opening weekend...

90% of the cool stuff I wanted to see Iron Man do. I can wait.

CinemaBlend reports the possibility. I think IRON MAN will be pretty cool. Great cast. I'll wait to see this teasler in glorious QuickTime. Don't have much choice, as I don't have cable.

But will it deliver? I've been fooled before.

I'm not sure which is being overrun by wannabe hipsters living off of daddy's money and have egos bigger than their trust funds faster, NYC or Austin (neither of which have been any kind of cool since at least '89). 911 jokes, huh? Class...straight up class.

Iron Man is one of the most popular Marvel characters, founder of the Avengers (it doesn't get more 1st string than that!), and now one of the most important and ubiquitous Marvel characters with Civil War, the Initiative, World War Hulk or whatever. All you people who think Iron Man is a 3rd tier character are on crack! You show your ignorance about the history of the Marvel universe and certainly aren't reading many Marvel comics right now. There's a reason why he's in almost as many books as Wolverine! He's one of the big 5 iconic Marvel heroes - including Spider-Man, Capt. America, Hulk, and Wolverine. And he's the main mover and shaker in the Marvel universe right now. Read a freakin' comic book.

Sorry, but it scares me more than little that Favreau can't imagine we all wouldn't Tivo The Hills. That better have been a fucking joke or this movie is doomed to vapid stupidity.<p> Please Jon, tell us you were kidding.

I'd pay to see a two-hour movie of Deadpool sitting in a chair, I would. Barring that, one based on Joe Kelley's Mithras storyline would work fine, too.

I think that a Deadpool movie should just follow that tone and sense of action. Be great if they even poke fun at the other Marvel Movies and make it a self aware spoof.

with a 2nd or 3rd tier visibility in pop culture... or i think thats what people were trying to say., cause anyone who reads comics know Iron Man is indespinsible to the Marvel Uni.

I would give anything to see a Deadpool flick. Imagine Wade Wilson with a mask/prosthesis that would allow him to emote as he does in the comics (bugging eyes/brows, mouth clearly visible). After watching a lot of Firefly I've decided that Adam Baldwin (Jayne)was born to play Deadpool. Think about it, they have the same physical build, both can be very funny and equally intimidating, and Baldwin can hit that voice, wonderfully described as "equal parts gravel and gasoline". They don't even have to break the fourth wall blatantely, a crafty writer could throw in the right winks here and there, but it does have to be an action-comedy. A super serious scenario that is impossible to take too seriously because, well, it's Deadpool. Oh, and Steve Buscemi as Weasel

Daaaaaaa-yummmm!

When i was a kid ironman was one of my favorite superhero and It's a shame their going to drive it into the ground. Man these are the cheap guys that cut the funding for startrek insurrection and released it with just blusecreen for the final fight sceen. paramount suck

Marvel character going today. He's kindof a fascist, but with the best intentions; a raging powerholic who shifted his taste for Johnny Walker to a taste for benevolent empire. Although I sided with Cap during the Civil War (yes, I know its a comic book, but sides still had to be chosen in geekdom), and think Tony was being a dick, I think his character is more interesting and that the whole IRON MAN: Director of Shield book is kewlness and kickass.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know for a fact... was Tommy ever officially signed onto this project at any point? I mean I know that for years I'd heard his name sort of "attached" to it, but I don't know if it was ever anything more than typical town rumors. Because it just got me thinking, helluva jump, huh? From Tom Batshit Crazy Cruise playing this part to Robert Cool As Fuck Downey, Jr playing it.

Making a MegaBlockbuster film, you are trying to appeal to the general public, not the Marvel Geek. You can make DareDevil all day long, and you will continue to get less than 100 Mil back each time because the GENERAL PUBLIC doesn't care. Iron Man is a very brave step, and hopefuly won't be a foolish step.

I really have no choice. Oh, well.<br> BTW, that was the worst heads up on a marvel trailer coming soon, since we were told FF4 trailer was coming.

Or vice-versa? Put the trailer on CBS so I can watch the damn thing on my high-def screen, instead of waiting for Quicktime.

Wow, that is cool news.

... September 11th. Life goes on, guy. Have a moment of silence on that day and get back to work, it's been 6 years already!

I know, thats what I was basically saying. For comic geeks Iron Man is part of the pantheon, but for most people in general, hes sort of an unknown since he didnt have the benefit of a successful cartoon, a tv series, or previous movies ala supes, batman, spiderman, or even the hulk. I was trying to say thats what I thought people here meant when they said Iron Man was a lower tier.

...anyone...? I'll nominate Taskmaster just so they can recreate that issue where Deadpool kicks his ass with both hands and legs tied together.

ComicCon footage rocked, and I can't wait to see it again in decent resolution.

Come on guys, get your nerds out of your thumbs ! This will bomb like the Hulk, just because the comicon nerds hailed the trailer like Hitler Youths doesn't mean it will rule. It will be a joke and you all know it. All the people involved are careerist who don't give a toss about the source material. Bring on the Dark Knight !

I still like Iron-Man in the comics, even if he has become a bit of a bastard. Looking forward to this film - hopefully be better than other recent superhero films.

which talkback is this?<p>Oh yes, I can't wait for this trailer. Wa-hoo!

Of all the Marvel characters the Golden Avenger is the best one for film. You don't have to tone down the costume because of fear it will look "to comic bookish". In fact Iron Man's costume is something you want to tone way up for his movie because it defines the hero. Oh they will talk about the man inside the armor but we all know this story is about the armor the man wares. And besides, Tech shit just looks great in movies. One need look no further than this years big hit that more then meets the eyes for conformation on this subject. <P> Iron Man will be big.

After being fooled twice by some dumb shit, this bootleg quality video of the footage was awesome. I can not wait to see IronMan and The Dark Knight. Kind of worried that the Dark Knight might be getting into Ang Lee's Hulk territory with all of these fake Batman hangings and shit but so far it looks like these two movies are going to make us comic geeks very happy people.

Look at Blade... when they announced they were making *that* movie, did you really expect it to be kick ass? Seriously! And on the other hand, you have HULK, a character so widely known that my 80 year-old mom knows it. And that movie disappointed a whole hell of a lotta people. So there you go.

If the movie kicks ass, they will come.

source material either, I think it's a match made in heaven. "Guy kicks ass in robosuit" - there's your blockbuster recepie. However, as much as I'm psyched for it, I can totally see Dark Knight failing at the box office somewhat.

The Comic-Con footage. Downey surprised me as a good choice for Stark, but what I didn't like was the sequence showing Stark breaking out of the cave in Afghanistan. The action was so over the top, it was cartoony (Iron Man hits a guy and he goes flying twenty feet, for example). However, after Iron Man's escape they showed a quick montage of footage from the rest of the film, and this looked fucking awesome. The first practical shot of Stark in the Mark III literally had me yelling out "YEAH!", it looked so bad ass (along with everybody else watching the footage, I'm sure). So I'm looking forward to this flick, hopefully this teaser kicks ass.

Just kidding... Harry was never a myspace friend.

Who the hell would Tivo the Hills?

No one is saying he isn't an integral part of the universe in comics, it's no one outside of comics, and other fandom, would know who Iron Man is. It's going to be tough sell. Robert Downey Jr. doesn't exactly spell box office. And Favreau hasn't proved anything yet. I'm just saying, everything looked golden for Hulk and Superman Returns, until they came out in the theatres.

And check the comic con footage doubters.

Never thought I see those in the same place....

Which is why Iron Man WILL be a hit. The movie's littered with quality people, from the director on down. It doesn't matter what "superhero" tier Iron Man resides on - the fact is the movie is being made WITH quality people BY quality people. That alone will fill the seats.

If this summer proved anything, it's that people still enjoy going to the movies. Summer of '08 promises to be even more successful because we're looking at better crafted films. Iron Man, Dark Knight, and Indy 4 will all be huge hits. Come to think of it, I will need to invest in a few pairs of Depends for I have no doubt I will be shitting myself during all these movies (i.e. when Iron Man hits that sonic boom - KABOOM! - right in my pants). Oh yes, can't wait.

This is my all time favourite Marvel character and I'm glad they've got some major talent involved in this film. The flying scenes look great and way better than the borefest of Superman Returns. I'm so sold on this...

that this movie cannot meet and exceed expectations. But this movie should be approached with caution. Superman Returns, for example, had EVERYTHING going for it: quality cast, big-time director, AND a recognizable figure...the movie fell flat on it's face.

if this summer proved something, it's that people still enjoy crappy threequels^^ <p> Back to topic, as some people said it's slightly over-hyped. IM is not a pop icon, it will be a tough sell and the comic-con footage had as many things right (the armors in motion, the overall look) than wrong (the tone, especially). <p> Now, the tone was aimed at cosplayed guys attending the event; the teaser coming next week (btw "if you happen to choose not to TiVo" was humorous, I can't think he was serious about this) will be tweaked for the mainstream audience. The comparison will be VERY interesting and revealing of the producers whereabouts and their demographic expectations. If they keep the lousy jokes in it and don't spill a lil' more armored action, my guess is that it means a marketing campaign geared toward kids and teenagers (because of Speed Racer and Narnia coming May 9th).<p> The comic-con footage was for the fans, but the teaser REALLY means business. I *really* hope it'll correct some of my dislikes about the Con demo.

about Barney Fife! Too bad Don Knotts is dead. :(

As a kid, we had a Kirby vacuum. It was red and plaid. <P> http://tinyurl.com/2hlvfo <P> It would run and as kids we called it Iron Man. Never knew why. The legend of "Iron Man" grew over the years. When I finally discovered that there was an actual "Iron Man" that was red just like the Kirby, I told my parents. They had never heard of Iron Man. <P> So at some point, maybe during Spiderman and his Amazing Friends, or from one of my very few Spidey comics as a pretween I had picked up on what Iron Man looked and sounded like. <P> So even today, I can't help but thinking of that Kirby every time I see Iron Man. And even today, every time I see Iron Man, I think, he sucks.

Farwell Turkey Lurkey. If I could bring back one man from the dead, it would be "The Ghost of Mr. Chicken."

Watching on HBO right now. When Clark and Jimmy are at the bar and hear of the plane troubles, Clark's "Ahh.........Fuck...." look genius. I love his reluctancy to jump back into things. That is where Comic Adaptations are golden. By setting in the Middle East AGAIN, they are setting it up to be a "what-if" in the "real world" type movie. Make it tie to reality if you are going to do that. Not Flame Broiled Whopper billboards or Hide and Seek Robots in the back yard.

out the window. Perfect also.

I'll see Indiana 4 and Iron man. If that comicon footage didn't sell you on this project then you must not either: A) Dig action movies B) Dig comic books C) Are really a studio plant Oh yeah, and I love that scene in Supe Returns too. Great Superhero movie.

Seriously, I only have Quicktime to view these trailers. Why can't these film companies just make a .wmv or .avi trailer for media player? They can still be hi-rez and play much better with lower system specs than Quicktime. The mind boggles.

THank you Favreau for finally showing us a piece of your work. Hopefully, we'll go nuts and ravage some town by breaking windows and destroying lamp-posts to show our crazy emotions about the Trailer.... <p>I'm really hoping the newly created Marvel Studios will get this one as right as possible, and let us forget about some of the firt Hulk movie; Daredevil; Electra and X3: Ratner's last Crappy Stand. <P>O' rejoyce dear friends, Favreau will pevrail.<P><b>Now Quicktime.</b>Glorious??? Nope. Ain't that great. As Doc_Strange mentions the damn thing ain't working that great and they're way too heavy compared to other formats who provide great quality playbacks in HD.<P>I never watch anything else than trailers with the damn thing, why does it even exist?

..are you saying Superman Returns is actually good?? <p>DId WB scrap the shitty movie SInger made and re-edited it to look like it's a good film???<p>'cause as far as I can remember that was the worst movie the character could even be in.<P>Watch it again and try to tell me how many time do we have character development with Clark's. I mean, what like 7 lines of dialogue for him, what is he doing back at the Planet if he's to just sit there and not do anything, or report on somehting?<P>And he's got Jimmy attached to the hip most of the time, how the hell does he just leave him there and not have him figure out "Wait.. Clark's here, no Superman. Big thing happens on the TV, Clark leave me with the bill and Superman appears. Superman disapears Clark back. MMmmmm ... nah!..." And even when they actually did that scene with Lois and Cyclops it shit bad crap, i mean the leaked out by mistake kind. A top selling, award winning 16 years old Journalist finally gets someone to describe both characters and she doen't catch on?!?!? "Supe's 'bout 6 feet tall, so's Clark; both have a good built and dark hair with blue eyes, they both disapear and reapear at the same time, hell same hour... I mean, god... Clark's Superm.. Oh he just wave in a funny way.. Can't be Supe's fo'get 'bout it..." and turn away. Wow, Singer really hit it with that one.<P>I've seen better story telling at a 9 year old school play.<P>I'll be the first one not to go to Superman Returns Again when WB crap another one.<P>At least Marvel thru Lee off the Hulk 2 Project and are re-working the story to hopefully make a real profit this time around, and the Director doesn't have to explain "oh but the next one you'll love, I'm putting actions scenes in it." Fukking Singer... He did a good job with both X-Men he directed, he changed lots of things but with a series of more than 50 mutants you can't expect anyone to properly follow the storyline, you'll have to be creative to work around them and make it all work. <P>But Superman is an Icon and Singer tore him a new a-hole (no pun intended) by making him less than two dimentional and a peep show fanatic, and don't get me starting on the kid.<P>Let's hope Favreau doesn't have Arad too much on his back so he can actually work with this movie and not make it into a Spidey 3 kinda feel where you have too many characters flying around for no apparent reason.<p>

Nope, never said good. But if Superman were real, that scene was GOLDEN. That's about all I said. I watched the rest, and yes, I do remember a similar movie that came out 30 years ago. But that one was fresh and not something we had seen almost identically years before.

Always nice to see the fools in their bedrooms knocking technology they plain just don't understand. The reason why trailers come out in Quicktime is because (and you may want to write this down in crayon somewhere) it's THE FUCKING INDUSTRY STANDARD. Now, get the mother-of-fucking-god over yourselves, and get a better computer. Alternatively, shut the fuck up and stop whining.

HOLY COW that was funny. If it isn't somebody complaining about Apple, they are complaining about Microsoft. Like you said, if they aren't good enough for you, go ahead and make a fortune creating something better. You can then come here and have all the bragging rights in the world. Until then... SHUUUT UP!

My rig is probably better than both of yours combined assholes.

This list is kinda fun: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/article2272516.ece Seems like they've averaged the box office take of all the major comic book movies across how many entries there are in the franchise which throws up some weird results. I guess it's because inflation makes newer movies bigger, but it's a fun ole read anyways
