According to a new press release sent out by ABC Studios, their late night host Jimmy Kimmel will have first dibs on the latest trailer for Paramount’s Iron Man 2. That’s right, you won’t have to wait until it debuts online or in your local theater. The trailer is coming home to you, and Robert Downey Jr. will give it a formal introduction.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen any promotion for Iron Man 2, and that’s saying something considering the movie’s scale. A new photo has been released from the film, and it shows Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark front and center in a race car. This photo looks like it was taken before the scene in the trailer where he’s getting attacked by a visceral Whiplash.
Damn Robert Downey Jr.’s fast! Earlier today everyone was buzzing over the fact that the actor opted out of the DreamWorks sci fi-western Cowboys & Aliens. The Los Angeles Times speculated that his workload was to blame for his resignation from the film. He already has the Iron Man franchise on his shoulders, and now Sherlock Holmes has taken priority. According to EW, the sequel will begin production later this year.
The upcoming sci-fi- western, Cowboys & Aliens sounded like a match made in heaven for Iron Man director Jon Favreau and star Robert Downey Jr. The duo was set to work together again on the live action adaptation of the graphic novel that had potential to become another full fledged franchise for the pair, but according to The Los Angeles Times Downey is no longer involved.
It’s finally time for Guy Ritchie’s good ol’ English detective novel turned blockbuster, Sherlock Holmes to hit the screen with mega-stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams. From deconstructing sight scenes to watching Watson and Holmes bickers like an old married couples, this is definitely the entertaining adventure that you’re all hoping it will be.
Let’s take a deeper look below…
Merry Christmas everyone! We hope you all have a joyous and pleasant holiday! In case you’re looking for a movie to take your family to or possibly a movie to avoid your family with, here are your picks for this weekend… To start off we have Sherlock Holmes, starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams! Guy Ritchie’s take on Sir Arthur Conan Boyle’s classic detective tales looks like it should be at the very least entertaining. Then you have the sort-of-romantic comedy with a cast far greater than it’s content, It’s Complicated. Terry Gilliam‘s new film and Heath Ledger’s final film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, will also be opening in a limited amount of theaters. And finally, a more for the kiddies, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel will be hitting theaters. View at your own risk.
Check out all the movies hitting theaters on Christmas Day…
One year later, after the press conference which launched the shooting of Sherlock Holmes, the cast and crew were back in the London’s Freemasons Hall to promote Sherlock Holmes. Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, Joel Silver, Kelly Reilly, Mark Strong, Susan Downey, Dan Lin, Guy Ritchie, Lionel Wigram and Hans Zimmer attend the conference (sadly Rachel McAdams wasn’t able to make it), to explain how they were all introduced to Sherlock Holmes and what drew them to the project. Robert Downey Jr. was his typical wisecracking self, playing around with the audience and the cast and the crew, but everyone else was done in a rather typical “straight-laced must sell the film” mode.
Hope you enjoy.
Sherlock Holmes is one of the recognized characters in English literature. It also holds the Guinness World Record for the most portrayed movie character, with 70 actors playing the famous detective in over 200 films, starting from 1930 straight through to 2009. The film is based on the graphic novel created by Lionel Wigram, which in turn is based on the Arthur Conan Doyle short stories.
In London, the home of Sherlock Holmes, directors Guy Ritichie, actors Robert Downey Jr, Jude Law, and Mark Strong, producers Joel Silver, Susan Downey, Dan Lin, and writer Lionel Wigram were all on hand to tell us why they brought the world’s famous detective back to the screen and how they intend to re-introduce the character to an new audience. They believe that this film is a closer adaptation to Arthur Conan Doyle’s original’s vision of the character than any other previous efforts and most importantly, their Holmes is most importantly quintessentially English at all times (despite having an American actor playing the role).
We recently posted the first theatrical poster for Iron Man 2 and just last week, we got news that the film’s teaser trailer would make its debut with Robert Downey Jr.’s latest film Sherlock Homes. The promos keep coming, and today we have another production photo taken from the film for your enjoyment.
