Favreau said that he's looking at the anime Appleseed, Ghost in the Shell, and Neon Genesis Evangellion for inspirations, but still trying to ground the film in the real world and real technology, "So the only buy you have to make is a guy in an Iron Man suit."

Favreau said that he'll be starting with the gray armor in the film, before moving on to a few different types of armor, and will end with the gold and red, evolving more into a weapons platform than a flying suit.

That's some great news. If you go to the director's myspace and hit up his iron man group he has a thread where he personally answers questions asked about the movie.
Awesome thing to do for fans!

Looks good so far. This is Marvel's first film that is solely theirs, that meaning that they're receiving no help with production from other companies. This might have promise. I like the way Favreau is thinking.

One word, 3 syllables:

"UNIBEAM!!!"

Neat-o.

That's all I got.

Lets hope he doesnt have the stupid handlebar mustache. Goatee? Fine and dandee.

I can't wait to see the toyline for this movie. i wonder if any other villains are in this maybe a former soviet merc who gets his hands on a extemely powerful STARK armor that just happens to be solid red or crimson wink, wink,.....i'm talkin about crimson dyamo.

doom your just mad that iron-man's armor is actually armor instead of metalic skin like another armor based marvel movie character. [cough]movie doom [/cough]

Cool, I've always liked the Iron Man character and I'm looking forward to seeing a live-action version of him. I wonder how they'll do his origins though, aren't they really out-dated (Vietnam war)?

Gulf War, maybe? That might work.

They might just go the Ultimate route.

The article says Afghanistan.....

Comic Books need to stop being movies. D:

I'd agree....but then we wouldn't have a new TMNT movie. ;)

What is Ultimate Iron Man's origin story?
