Iron Alert

According to Variety, Robert Downey Jr. will be playing Iron Man in the film by the same name. The director will be Jon Favreau, who doesn't have a lot of credentials in that capacity but has so far been solid--not amazing, not terrible, just plain ol' vanilla.

Speaking of Jon Favreau, he's also in production hell with another film currently titled John Carter of Mars, based on the novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Valerie owns several of these novels and likes them, but they are what one might lovingly call "old-fashioned." It will be interesting to see what is done with them, assuming they don't quietly pass on to that big movie studio in the sky.
