A theatrical trailer has been released for Antoine Fuqua‘s urban drama, Brooklyn’s Finest. The film stars Richard Gere, Don Cheadle, Ethan Hawke, Jesse Williams, and Wesley Snipes, and centers on the contrast between loyalty and corruption inside a local New York police department.

Finally, some real behind the scenes Iron Man 2 footage. Last night, Entertainment Tonight released a five minute long video that features an exclusive set visit. We get an inside look from stars Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Scarlett Johansson of what we can expect to see in the anticipated sequel. The day the visit was taped, they were filming the race track scene where Tony Stark has his first meeting with Whiplash aka Micky Rourke.

Iron Man 2 footage has been “leaked.” While at Comic-Con, director Jon Favreau premiered the first video of the upcoming Marvel sequel. Someone, somewhere put up the clip, and it’s not of the highest quality. I’m sure a lot of you are anxious to see it, but it doesn’t do the film justice at all. Watching a bootlegged copy of the trailer is not best way to be introduced to the awesomeness that is Iron Man 2. We understand why you want to see it, but it really is worth the wait.
***Update: We also have video of director Jon Favreau introducing the cast to the panel.
Well, Comic-Con is officially coming to an end. However, we still have lots of stuff for you to check out from this crazy weekend. The Iron Man 2 panel yesterday was in such high demand, and there were so many people that were shut out of Hall H at the convention center. They missed out on a pretty awesome trailer, but you can read about it in our first look and watch our sweded video that we made last night.
Anyways back to the point, we were able to get in and record the panel discussion and fan questions for you! The panel had a large portion of the cast, including Robert Downey Jr., Sam Rockwell, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, and the director, Jon Favreau. They talked about Mickey Rourke, the tone of the new film, how close they stayed to the stories, and answered other fan questions.
In case you are interested, you may want to check out our live blog from the Iron Man 2 panel, Jon Favreau talking about a possible Avengers movie, and our coverage from the other Robert Downey Jr. movie, Sherlock Holmes.

Hold on to your butts! We’ve just located several more photos from USAToday’s Comic-Con preview issue. Earlier we posted one of their exclusive photos from District 9, and now we have five new images from next year’s Iron Man 2. They feature Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, and director Jon Favreau. I didn’t think it was possible, but I am getting more psyched for this movie as each day passes.

According to Superherohype, after 71 days of principal photography, filming on Iron Man 2 has officially wrapped. Director Jon Favreau tweeted about the film’s last day on July 18, and and the wrap party that followed on Sunday.

Returning to the franchise are Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man and Gwyneth Paltrow as his assistant Virginia “Pepper” Potts. New cast members include Don Cheadle as James “Rhodey” Rhodes, Mickey Rourke as the villain Whiplash, and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow.

Yesterday we gave you Terrence Howard’s take on being replaced by fellow Oscar nominee Don Cheadle as James Rhodes in Iron Man 2. Today we have the first set photos of Cheadle in character. Sure they don’t look much alike, but I love Don Cheadle, I can’t say anything bad about him! Not only do we have his photo but thanks to the folks over at SpoilerTV, we’ve got images of Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow as well.

What’s really going on? Recently all the major action films have been having some major issues with casting and its getting a bit ridiculous. The Iron Man sequel has been plagued with these issues since the day Terrence Howard was ousted for Don Cheadle. After that trade, Samuel L. Jackson said he wouldn’t be co-starring as Nick Fury in Iron Man 2 or The Avengers. As of late, I’ve been suckered into this casting ping pong game between Mickey Rourke and Emily Blunt , and it’s just sickening. Will he portray a villain along with Sam Rockwell in Iron Man 2? We don’t know. I don’t think Marvel knows either.
Emily Blunt may be a no go for Iron Man 2. It’s sad and it sucks, but thats the nature of the business. According to Superherohype, Blunt has been offered the role of the leather clad assassin Natasha “Black Widow” Romanoff, but is having some serious scheduling issues. The 25 year old actress is attached to star in the Jack Black vehicle Gulliver’s Travels, which coincidentally starts production around the same time as Iron Man.
