"Hold that pose I. M. !"
Here's another promo picture paramount has released from the upcoming film. They seem to be content to release the Iron Man movie pictures at just a trickle. Oh well, he still looks, well, shiny and iron-ish...

Putting the Hurt on the Hulk?
Here is a quick shout out of an interesting post I just stumbled across today; it is discussing some of the details about the reported crossover / cameo of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie as revealed by Hulk film co-star, William Hurt. To read it for yourself, just click here.
In short, it seems that Mr. Hurt was a bit too willing to spill the beans on some of the details regarding the Hulk - Iron Man crossover sequence.

The Iron man movie action figures
OKAY, NOW THESE ARE JUST TEARS...
Following on the heels of my posting of the 12 inch IRON MAN figure, I have some new images of the new line of IRON MAN movie action figures that will be released in conjunction with the upcoming IRON MAN film. They are nice - they don't excite me (or cause eye hemorrhaging) in the same way that the 12 inch iron bad-boy does, but they look decent (at least at this promo picture stage, anyway).
Now I just want to know what, if anything, Marvel has planned for any subsequent series of figures; More action figures baesed on characters like Stane, the Mandarin and Jim Rhodes would all be options...

MY EYES ARE BLEEDING...!
Well, okay, maybe not quite - but I got a bit excited when I saw this picture of the new 12 inch IRON MAN action figure making its rounds on the net.
Hey, hey, whaddaya think, eh? I am hoping to have some pics up soon of the Iron man movie action figures, so wait and see...
And here is another image I have found. I will also be adding it to the picture archive.

'We're in the Money...'
So I was reading today that the companies partnered with this May's Iron Man movie are starting to reveal themselves; so far there are no real surprises here: companies like 7-11, Burgerking and LG were all mentioned. Okay, there was at least one surprise (or maybe not if you have watched the iron man movie trailer): auto maker Audi. Audi will be tying in the launch of their new R8 sportscar with the iron man movie. 7-11 and Burgerking likely means rather unhealthy eating habits for me this Spring for the sake of cheesy plastic trinkets, and my current Cellphone plan runs out in May (how convenient ...), so maybe LG will actually have a chance of competing with Sony Ericsson for my affections. I'm so easy, just a promotion whore, really...
BTW, the REAL heavy promotion by Paramount for the movie will begin with a Super Bowl ad this February

HEAVY ARMOR: IRON MAN MOVIE SUITS
Wizarduniverse.com
Checking out the suits Robert Downey Jr. is seen wearing in the Iron Man movie trailer.
While most comic films feature only one version of superhero garb per leading man, the Iron Man trailer pulls out all the stops with three confirmed models of Ol’ Shellhead’s mechanical outfit. Each one plays a different role in Tony Stark’s war on crime and luckily (unlike the Dark Knight in “Batman Forever”), there’re no nipples!
MARK I
Initially constructed by Stark out of spare industrial parts after he’s kidnapped by terrorists, this clunky robot-looking suit provides Stark’s escape and packs a flame-thrower, rocket launcher and a tough outer shell. When one attacker sneaks up to shoot Stark in the back of the head at point-blank range, the bullet ricochets off and back into the jerk’s own noggin!
“We got the Mark I out which we took a little bit of leeway with because in the [comic] books it really doesn’t make sense that he would make that out of spare parts,” laughs “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau. “But we wanted to keep the personality of it. Everyone was like, ‘Holy sh--, that’s so cool!’”
MARK II
Seen for a split second in the “Iron Man” trailer and only from the shoulders up, this “evil” version of the armor stands somewhere in terms of design between the clunkier Mark I and the sleeker Mark III. Towering in size at about 8 feet tall, this version’s weapons system hasn’t been fully displayed. But what makes it evil? Gwyneth Paltrow, seen overshadowed by the suit during a display of sneak preview footage at San Diego Comic-Con, knows all too well.
“That’s Iron Monger,” the actress says with a smile. Looks like at some point, the film’s main villain, Obadiah Stane, follows in his comic book namesake’s footsteps and dons the Mark II to become Iron Monger.
MARK III
More closely resembling the suit worn by Iron Man in today’s comic books, this so-sleek-it’s-practically-a-jet version packs a powerful high-five thanks to gauntlets on the palm that emit repulsor rays and boots augmented with flight enhancers that allow for high-speed, mid-air maneuverability. Favreau says he wanted an authentic suit instead of a special effects extravaganza and it paid off after fans saw the final version.
“They were like, ‘Wait, it’s not a fake. It’s a real suit with a real guy!’” boasts the director. “Of course we could do different stuff in CG than it can for real, and that’s what becomes [a] difficulty. You don’t want [him] to be moving around like Robocop and then he flies through the air and looks like Spider-Man.”
