didn't see Zathura but it "looked" good.
if tim story can do fantastic 4(given his prior resume) how bad can Favreau do with shellhead?
if tom cruise is still aboard, this may be decent.

That is excellent news. Jon Favreau will respect the source material and give us a good show. Nice choice. Better than Cassavettes

Good choice. Vaughn would make a good Stark.

i liked elf but the entire story of zathura was in the trailers. and i'm not a 10 year old boy so i didn't like it.

The movie is going to be a very tough sell. The majority of people probably never even heard of Iron Man. It's also not one of Marvel's bigger characters. It should go directly to dvd.
