RDJ Talks About Iron Man Switch
November 6th, 2008
The decision to replace Terrence Howard in the upcoming Iron Man 2 is turning into quite the controversy!
On Thursday, Robert Downey Jr. revealed his thoughts on the switch – (Don Cheadle will replace Howard in the sequel as Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes) telling MTV News, "I had nothing to do with that decision. I love Terrence very, very much. That’s all I’ll say because I haven’t talked to him yet. I’ve always admired Don Cheadle. It’s one of those situations where I still don’t quite know what happened or why. Here’s what happens too: Things happen and you wind up commenting on them before you’ve actually talked to the people and it’s in poor taste."
Robert went on to say that his first priority is to Iron Man director Jon Favreau and making sure the sequel is just as good as the first film.
"I think the important thing with the Iron Man franchise is to not do too much too soon and to make sure we don’t piss off the public that puts us in the position we’re in," Downey said. "We’ve just got to keep rolling up our sleeves higher further up the elbow. If we show up and we’re in the right head space and our heart’s in the right spot and we really think about the audience at every turn and we don’t try to stamp our hipness on to anything. It’s very interactive."
Iron Man Cast Switch-Up
October 14th, 2008
Expect to see Don Cheadle suiting up as War Machine, Iron Man’s best friend and fellow hero in Iron Man 2, instead of Terrence Howard.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Don will replace Terrence in the Marvel Studios film as Jim Rhodes, the wing man and best bud to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark.
The move comes as a surprise, as one of the last scenes in last summer’s blockbuster hit featured Terence sizing up a silver superhero suit and saying, "Next time."
Marvel Studios hasn’t commented yet, but sources say they wanted to work with Don and that Terrence’s deal fell through due to financial wrangling.
Justin Theroux is writing the screenplay, and Jon Favreau will return as the director. Iron Man fans are in for a bit of a wait, however: the flick isn’t scheduled for release until May of 2010.
Favreau’s False Alarm
February 8th, 2008 / Author: cwillett
With the Writers Guild strike bringing most TV and film production in Hollywood to a halt for over three months, out of work actors, directors and others have been looking for even the slightest glimmer of hope that things might be looking up anytime soon. Let’s just hope they weren’t watching Jon Favreau on The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson on Thursday night.
"Did you hear?" writer/director/actor Jon asked the audience, "the strike’s over!" A surprised host and audience responded with a resounding roar to what appeared to be good news. But, in true Hollywood fashion, things aren’t always what they seem.
Later on in the show, host Craig Ferguson made a brief announcement to the camera, saying that Jon had perhaps spoken too soon and that the strike is not yet over. Oops.
The latest reports claim that a resolution to the drawn-out strike is near and that an agreement could be reached as early as this weekend.
