With one week of production on "Iron Man" behind him, director Jon Favreau has taken to his MySpace blog to give loyal fans a quick update. Nothing too flashy, but it’s good to know the project’s moving along well.
I could break the filmmaker’s comments down, but they’re so basic I’d really rather just quote the guy. (Plus I’ve been gushing about this project since they announced it, and I’d like to take a break from that for a while.)
From Jon F.: "We are done with the first week of photography. I am happy to report that the ten months of preparation allowed the extremely challenging first week of photography to come off without a hitch. The look is fantastic and the performances are great as well. Downey was definitely the right choice.
I’m looking forward to getting out of the "cave." The first few weeks of shooting are spent, somewhat in sequence, establishing Stark’s captivity. It sets the table tonally for the rest of the film. The close quarters and tight schedule make it the toughest part of the shoot on the cast and crew."
"Iron Man" is scheduled for May of 2008, darnit.
