Jon Favreau Sez "I Want To Do IRON MAN 2 In IMAX 3-D!!! Provided Paramount's Willing To Foot The Bill!!!"

Beaks here...

If you're Jon Favreau, how do make an IRON MAN 2 that tops THE DARK KNIGHT? How 'bout you keep Chris Nolan's IMAX gimmick while shooting the whole damn movie in 3-D?

According to Frosty from Collider.com (who attended today's IRON MAN Blu-ray/DVD press conference), that's what Favs is thinking at the moment. Obviously, he's still months and months away from principal photography (the release date is still summer 2010), but this makes perfect sense. That said, I was just talking with Quint, and I kind of agree with his notion that Favreau should jettison the 3-D idea and simply shoot the entire film in IMAX. Frankly, all action-oriented summer tentpoles should go this route; after THE DARK KNIGHT, the old way of doing things just won't cut it.

Read Frosty's story at Collider for more IRON MAN 2 teases from Favreau.
