Screen Rant have come up with a worrying post when they say that Iron Man may have taken a few steps back in the development process. It looks like they may have lost their Director, Nick Cassavetes.
It’s not confirmed, but IGN.com (which usually has very solid inside sources) reports that Nick Cassavetes may have dropped out as director of the much anticipated (by me) Iron Man movie. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the guys who currently write Smallville and wrote the screenplay for Iron Man are apparently under the same impression according to SuperHeroHype.com.
This will be a huge blow to the movie if it is the case, not only because it’s the Director, but because of who he is. I, like Vic, am eagerly awaiting this one. I think it has the promise to be as gritty and real as the proper Batman. If he has gone, who else could take over this project?
