There were rumours that Alex Proyas was set to film Iron Man, but now the rumour is that Nick Cassavetes (still showing on IMDB) is back on the lineup.
Comments through Comic Book Movie suggest otherwise:
Cassavettes told MTV he’s in pre-production on the film and that he plans to keep the character’s costume classic rather than go state-of-the-art. “[It will be] more mechanical than high-tech that’s the way to go on that.”
Referring to his vision of Tony Stark’s costume as a “flying tin can,” Cassavetes said, “Marvel [Comics] is working things out right now,” according to Moviehole.
Mmm…I had an email from Vic over at Screen Rant who said that these comments made him shirk away from the whole idea, and he’s a big Iron Man fan.
I’m totally with him, and I’ve not followed the comics, it’s just that the comments show some serious disrespect for the character. What do you think? Are you a fan? Cassavettes or Proyas?
