Fav irons out Marvel plans

Being good, honest film fans here at totalfilm.com, it brightens our day when we see a Hollywood important-type mixing it with the ticket-buyers and digging for inspiration.

So imagine our unbridled joy when we stumbled upon Jon Favreau’s Iron Man blog and forum.

JF’s latest post gives an update on where the project is now. He states: “We've got two (2!) sets of writers typing away on scenes and outlines. We've got a room full of storyboard illustrators and concept artists. The story has been fully broken. The villain has been selected and the train has left the station. I expect a rough first draft in the next several weeks, though the sequences are being hammered out visually as we speak. I won't reveal any further details on the plot or villains at this time. Marvel likes to trickle this type of info out slowly, as you can understand, and we are a full two years away from release. I did, however, convince them to share some interesting stuff some time in, oh, I don't know, July.”
