First Official Image of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in 'Iron Man 2'
Director Jon Favreau has released the first image from Iron Man 2 and with all those Iron Man suits in the background, the mind is racing (especially if you read the comic, you know what this might mean!).
Iron Man 2 takes place six months after the final scenes in Iron Man, where Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) unveiled his identity.
“How many superheroes are open about their true identities?” Favreau asks. “We wanted to play with that idea. But it obviously has consequences — in his relationships, on the team. There are a lot of areas we can explore.”
Even with this image release, don’t get too excited about receiving a flood of Iron Man 2 info. Whilst Favreau is keeping fans appeased direct from the set via Twitter, he plans to keep the details surrounding the film a secret.
“It’s never easy with summer movies, but we’re trying to keep as much a surprise as possible,” he says.

Paramount have released the full feature trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It’s hard not to say this looks damn cool (opening Bumblebee scene and occassional stupid moments excluded):
With Lost reaching a 100 episode milestone, with just three more episodes left to complete season five, and with just one more season left to end the series forever, it is amazing to consider that back in 2004 the creative team were given only 10 weeks to write, cast and shoot the entire pilot.
“We were just desperate to get the pilot made,” says J.J. Abrams, who also directed the pilot. “Looking forward meant the next day of shooting, not 100 episodes down the line.”
At one point Lost appeared directionless, spending a lot of time on flashbacks and developing numerous different back-story arcs that the sheer number of story threads seemed impossible to tie up. Many wondered if the writers were making it up episode to episode without any real plan and that ultimately the series would let fans down by becoming too complex to provide answers to all the questions it had created. The producers are promising this isn’t the case.
“By announcing the end date,” Executive Producer Carlton Cuse says, “we signaled yes, we have a game plan, so you can rest assured that your investment in the show is going to pay off.”
Since that announcement the pace of Lost has accelerated dramatically, the story is nothing short of superb, and it has solidified itself with many as the best science fiction series on television – and one of the best sci-fi series of all time.
“The end date literally made all the difference,” Cuse says. “It meant we could step on the accelerator pedal.”
