Haven’t been this excited over a movie in years. Finally my all time favorite Marvel superhero is making it to the big screen and it looks mighty fine! You know where I’ll be on May 2nd, 2008.

Interesting trivia from IMDB:

# In October 1999, Quentin Tarantino was approached to write and direct the film. Later, Joss Whedon, a big fan of the comic book, was in negotiations to direct the film in June 2001. In December 2004, Nick Cassavetes was hired as a director, with the film to release in 2006, but everything fell through. Finally, Jon Favreau was hired as director.

# Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise were interested in playing Iron Man. Cruise in particular was going to act in and produce the film.
