Iron Man Movie Trifecta: Suitcase, Remix, Uh-Oh
? A longer version of the Monaco/Whiplash/Suitcase armor scene went up this weekend and is shown above. Looks good, right? Well, remember that in about three sentences. Thanks to Tom D. for the tip.
? Director Jon Favreau hired DJ Mike Relm to make an official “remix” of the Iron Man 2 trailer — it’s reasonably groovy (Black Sabbath always helps), and you can check out here. Thanks to Oscar for the tip.
? The movie had its premiere in LA the other day, and uh… well, the reviews are not looking good so far. Between the awesomeness of the trailers and the awesomeness of the first movie, I hope it isn’t so, but this especially brutal review seems unfortunately pretty reasonably argued. Cross your fingers, I guess.
