ANOTHER Iron Man Scriptwriter

Go to any movie news site (JoBlo.com, for instance) and do a search for Iron Man. You're likely to find results detailing movie production status going back for years. Greg's Previews over at Yahoo! Movies has entries dated back to September 2001, detailed a long period of time in which Tom Cruise seemed likely to nab the starring role. More recently, there was a script review for a version that seemed to be a Hulk all over again.

Well, here we go again. Jon Favreau has been signed by Marvel to direct and co-write yet another new version of Iron Man and the film has become a "top priority." Favreau doesn't have an outstanding list of credentials. He directed Elf and Zathura: A Space Adventure, as well as wrote and acted in Swingers. Still, nobody can start out with a big name, and I hope the guy can finally get this movie on its feet.
