Jon Favreau Reviews, Interviews & More

Returning after the event of The Avengers, Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark has a solo adventure in Iron Man 3, which proves to be the best of the franchise, and one of the best Marvel movies yet. If it works, it's partly because writer/director Shane Black understands the genre and good filmmaking, giving fun scenes and great stakes to this...

It's a super-sized episode of The Office this week, as the Jon Favreau-directed "Moving On" focuses on Pam visiting Philly, and a heartbroken Andy trying to cope with life without Erin. Check below for the full review...

So what do we know about the upcoming film Star Wars: Episode VII?  Well, it’s set for a 2015 release date, Disney owns it, George Lucas will—at best—be a consultant, and Michael Arndt (Toy Story 3) will write it.  And that’s about it.  At this point, we could define the film more with who won’t be involved rather than who will, as yet...

Remember a couple of months back, how we heard that Jon Favreau was moving forward with a Jersey Boys musical? It sounded like quite a nice combination, and for them to do an open casting call on all of the main characters was an even bolder choice. This production was already standing out for many in a big way. It's just too bad that it may just...

Since exploding onto the screen in 2008, Marvel's Iron Man has imbedded himself into the pop culture.

This weekend in theaters, Favreau is back with two grumpy, bad-asses, Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford with his latest genre twist, Cowboys & Aliens. The film is big and bad, with plenty of explosions and known faces, but it never quite delivered on anything I was hoping for. The biggest problem with this film is that it's very much a Western, with alien bad-guys, that...

One of the more interesting summer movies this year is Jon Favreau's Cowboys and Aliens, which opens July 29. It stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Sam Rockwell, and Oliva Wilde, and combines science fiction action (and invasion) with the old west.

With TV spots from Captain America, Thor, and Super 8, did you really think that Cowboys & Aliens would sit this one out? Super Bowl Sunday is the premiere place to advertise summer blockbusters and Jon Favreau's latest got in on the action. The film is slated to hit theaters this May, and...

Tuesday afternoon comic fans everywhere were hit with a serious blow. Jon Favreau announced that he won't return to direct Iron Man 3, but will take on The Magic Kingdom for Disney instead. This came as a shock because he's been behind the Iron Man machine from the very beginning and for the for him to leave this late in the game for...

Update: Favreau just confirmed his departure via his Twitter account. He wrote, "It's true, I'm directing Magic Kingdom, not Iron Man 3. I've had a great run with Marvel and wish them the best." The world must be coming to an end because according to a report from Vulture Jon Favreau will not return to direct Iron Man 3. This can't be a...

Three major Marvel features will open before the film including Thor, Captain...

Disney has gotten their hooks into Jon Favreau for the big screen adaptation of the Magic Kingdom (as in the huge centerpiece of Disneyland). If they can make Pirates of the Caribbean a movie, why can't they do the same for the place that's served as the logo of the studio for decades? According to Heat Vision, Favreau has finalized a deal...

Jon Favreau has added another actor to his upcoming sci-fi comic film, Cowboys & Aliens and its "Mad Men" and "Hawthorne" alum Abigail Spencer.

After seeing the heavy handed influence The Avengers had on this spring's Iron Man 2 it looked like Tony Stark would be the anchor character to join all the new Marvel movies together. But director and producer Jon Favreau recently appeared on a local Los Angeles radio show to clear up any rumors regarding an Iron Man cameo in...

Now that Iron Man 2 has come and gone, director Jon Favreau can focus on his next summer blockbuster Cowboys & Aliens.

Ever since Marvel began making live action films based on the Iron Man comic fans have been waiting for him to battle his arch nemesis on the big screen. We're not talking about Iron Monger or Whiplash or Justin Hammer, we're referring to The Mandarin.

Not long ago we attended the press conference for Iron Man 2, which was basically Robert Downey Jr.'s chance to show off a unique hybrid between himself and Tony Stark. Not only did he dominate the stage, the questions, and everyone elses answers, but at one point he literally "held" the press conference together - but more on that below. In attendance along with...
