ComingSoon.net reports on the latest entry from "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau’s blog, in which the erstwhile "Swinger" comments on recent casting news, set assembly, and the production’s overall good-time vibe:
"Gwyneth Paltrow has been cast as Virginia Pepper Potts. I met her on an indie called "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle" many years ago. We begin filming in eight weeks.
"Stan Winston is working on the suit. Sets are being built. Fergus and Ostby ("Children of Men") are working on the script. Matty Libatique is shooting it. Everything is really coming together."
