Writer, director and actor Jon Favreau seems to be dipping into his IRON MAN 2 pool to extract some talent for his next project CHEF. His biggest snag was Robert Downey Jr. reported just last Friday from Cannes. Next on the list is Scarlett Johansson who is no small fish herself. Barring any crazy scenarios, [...]

I have to admit; it’s really, really nice to do a story about Robert Downey Jr. that has nothing to do with Iron Man. Sure, I hope he comes back to the franchise just as much as the next guy, but the internet has been a little crazy lately with the will-he-or-won’t-he talk about IRON [...]

Well, after the ridiculous teaser for the teaser trailer, we finally have the official trailer for director Alfonso Cuaron’s GRAVITY, featuring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney flying through space. Really, those three names alone are enough to get me excited for this film, but the real question is whether or not Cuaron can make the [...]

With the billion dollar success of IRON MAN 3 (click the link to read the review) and the inevitable talk around THE AVENGERS 2, conversations have come up regarding the contract situations for the cast of the original Avengers. To recap; Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy [...]

Every time I post a “trailer for a trailer”, I feel obligated to apologize profusely for it. I despise this trend of releasing trailers for trailers more than any recent Hollywood trend in memory. But in Hollywood’s defense, I remember ET doing this kind of thing more than 20 years ago (which is when I [...]

After last year’s summer extravaganza in THE AVENGERS, the individual pictures of said team have a lot to compete with. That’s the major problem when you make a great film, it’s hard to meet expectations for the follow up. I’m happy to say, while a bit uneven, IRON MAN 3 is still able to deliver [...]

In four short days, you’ll learn what the rest of the world already knows; IRON MAN 3 is impressive. Some critics are even hailing it as the best Marvel film yet, meaning it might even be better than last year’s ensemble, THE AVENGERS. Most critics seem to point to star Robert Downey Jr. for giving [...]

With almost $200 million raked in worldwide, the juggernaut that is IRON MAN 3 has gained a lot of momentum before its US release next weekend. Aside from being excited for the film, the only thing I can think about when I hear these crazy box office numbers is how much fun Robert Downey Jr.‘s [...]

Reviews are flying in from around the world for IRON MAN 3 since it hits theaters this weekend in a lot of places. Those of us in the United States won’t get a chance to see it until next Friday, so we’ll have to settle for a short clip. Speaking of those reviews, they seem [...]

We haven’t even bothered posting all of them, but by my count, this is the 12th different TV spot for IRON MAN 3. Yep, 12 different commercials have been rotating on TV for a while now and as we inch closer to the May 3rd release date, you shouldn’t expect to turn on the TV [...]

IRON MAN 3 is now officially less than one month away and to whet our appetites, Marvel has released a new clip from the film, featuring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, calling out The Mandarin and challenging him to a good old fashioned one on one battle. What has Tony so upset? Well, we [...]

Robert Downey Jr. has been attached to the dramedy THE JUDGE for a while now, but back November, it was reported that Jack Nicholson was in talks to join RDJ in the film. But Jack Nicholson doesn’t take many roles these days and so the filmmakers have turned their attention to Robert Duvall, who signed [...]

IRON MAN 3 has just released a new trailer and fans of the franchise should be impressed. Robert Dowey Jr. is back as Tony Stark/Iron Man and there’s a new villain in town (as always) called The Manadarin (played by Ben Kingsley) who is making life difficult for us mere mortals. I recall earlier stories [...]

Traditionally, Marvel likes to go with the tried and true “floating heads” design when it comes to the final one-sheets for all of their movies. For the teaser posters, they like to show a picture of their hero standing still, usually looking off into the distance. We’ve come to expect these kind of designs and [...]

More news on the IRON MAN 3 front today as some new photos from a magazine have made their way to the internet. Below you can see a few new photos from the upcoming film and although they are pretty grainy, they are still of Robert Downey Jr. so how bad can that be? What’s [...]

I wanted to call both of these “character posters” to fit in with what we’ve seen from other IRON MAN 3 characters, but to be technically correct, the Robert Downey Jr. pic below is just a magazine cover and I’m sure Marvel will give us something better when they release the actual character poster for [...]

I really need to brush up on my Iron Man knowledge. I never got into the Iron Man comics, but I always thought Iron Patriot was what Coldblood started out as. But I guess I’m completely wrong since the newest poster for IRON MAN 3 features Don Cheadle’s Rhodes wearing the patriotic armor. It feels [...]

The Super Bowl was a bit of a letdown bot in terms of the game (I’m a big 49ers fan) and the commercials. The trailers that did premiere during the game were either very familiar or not that great. But one trailer that premiered that offered something a little clever was for Marvel’s IRON MAN [...]

Yeah, I realize I’m late on this one, but things have been crazy around the Flix 66 offices and although I decidedly skipped over posting all the “previews of Super Bowl commercials”, I wouldn’t skip over a poster, especially one as cool as this. Normally, posters for big budget, summer blockbusters are pretty pedestrian, either [...]

With GANGSTER SQUAD (click the link to read the review) being a bit of a bust, it looks like cinema fans are in for a bit of a dry spell until late spring and summer. Luckily, a very popular magazine has released some new photos so we don’t get too depressed during these long winter [...]

So far, the biggest concern most fans have with the upcoming IRON MAN 3 is that the film is going to be too dark and too serious. Director Shane Black has gone on record as saying it won’t be and that it will feature plenty of the trademark Tony Stark humor. Unfortunately, everything we’ve seen [...]

New photos have been released from IRON MAN 3 and today we’re getting to see some new images of Dr. Wu (played by Wang Xuequi). Apparently Dr. Wu is a new character in the Iron Man universe so we don’t really know much about him, but we do know that SPOILER ALERT he is the [...]

IRON MAN 3 hits theaters in less than six months, so it’s only natural that Marvel is starting to slowly roll out the marketing campaign. The latest promotional effort for IRON MAN 3 is an international trailer (Japanese) which only has Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow in it. There are a few new scenes [...]

Admit it; you’re a little nervous about IRON MAN 3. Marvel and the filmmakers know you are because we seem to be in a little bit of damage control lately. Director Shane Black recently calmed everyone down and confirmed that IM3 was going to be light and no the serious film that everyone thought it [...]

Looks like veteran actor Jack Nicholson is being courted to make an appearance on the big screen in the upcoming dramedy THE JUDGE, as father to Robert Downey Jr. Though he doesn’t take many roles these days (he is 75 years-old after all), if Jack Nicholson decides to join the cast he would play a [...]

Yesterday we saw a teaser for the teaser trailer for IRON MAN 3 and today we finally get the full length teaser trailer, which still sounds like an oxymoron. I’m not sure what they were trying to accomplish with the teasers, since I think fans are excited enough to see Robert Downey Jr. back in [...]

With the hype of THE AVENGERS Blu-ray slowing down, it’s time to get revved up for the next superhero action film which is IRON MAN 3. A few new photos have been released and the new patriotic Iron Man suit looks pretty good, although not nearly as good as Robert Downey Jr., who is really [...]

According to the article from Daily Mail, Robert Downey Jr. has [...]

On paper, combining some of the biggest superheroes in the world into one movie and having them portrayed by some of the most talented actors while making it all live up to the obnoxiously high expectations of the fanboy community seems like a daunting task. It’s not enough just to throw them into mindless action [...]

It’s funny to think that movies are planned 3+ years out, but it’s very common and a necessity when you have a franchise full of superheroes that you want to grow larger and larger. So that’s where we’re at today, talking about another possible Hulk film starring Mark Ruffalo as the charming Bruce Banner/ annoyed, [...]

Director Joss Whedon gave us one of the most successful and, what could be argued, one of the best superhero films this year in THE AVENGERS. So thankfully Marvel Studios did something right and hired Joss Whedon back to not only direct the sequel, but to oversee any Marvel films that have the Avengers characters [...]

We have to assume each sequel will bring some sort of variation to a superhero’s costume, but they’re usually a slightly darker color or an extra gadget or two. I wouldn’t say the new Iron Man armor is drastically different, but it features an abundance of brown, which I find odd. Maybe it will look [...]

This summer I have been admiring some of the recent superheroes that have graced the silver screen and realized that they don’t hold a candle to my smokin’ hot hubby. Smart, sexy and gifted with the super power of hilariousness, he is the ultimate superhero in my book. That being said, I thought I’d share [...]

When director Guy Ritchie’s SHERLOCK HOLMES came onto the scene a couple of years ago, it revamped the story and character in a new exciting way that had audiences yearning for more. Of course much of that can be attributed to casting Robert Downey Jr. as the eccentric, fast-talking, genius Mr. Holmes. But everywhere SHERLOCK [...]

In 1993, THE FUGITIVE starring Harrison Ford came on to the scene and blew audiences away. Other than the fun action and clever story line, the overall cat and mouse between Dr. Richard Kimble and the U.S. Marshals, led by Tommy Lee Jones, were the real stars. Even earning Jones a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. [...]

If there ever was a popcorn flick that matched its expectations, Marvel’s THE AVENGERS is it.

Absolutely not. Will it make the [...]

THE AVENGERS screened to a select group of fanboys a few days ago and early reaction was extremely positive, pushing buzz on the film to an all time high. But for those of us that haven’t seen it, the prevailing complaint is that all we’ve seen so far from THE AVENGERS is a bunch of [...]

A new image has been found from the upcoming Marvel film THE AVENGERS and shockingly enough it’s not of Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth or Robert Downey, Jr. It’s actually of the Hulk, who will be played by Mark Ruffalo in the upcoming superhero film.

If there’s a movie last year that surprised me with its under performance, it was SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS.. Everyone seemed to have loved the first one and from the opinions I received, the second one was at least equal to it in terms of humor and action. To put it in perspective, [...]

To everyone involved with the marketing for Marvel’s THE AVENGERS; I thank you for this trailer. Up until this point, I was starting to have doubts. The marketing had been a little cheesy and I was afraid this was going to turn into a big marketing campaign to sell toys (even the movie poster was [...]

With the daunting task of having to fit seven superheroes on one poster, we understand if the Photoshopping doesn’t look completely perfect.
