Are you ready for an Iron Man movie overdose? You can watch the new TV spot for Iron Man below, plus, Paramount has updated the official website for the movie, AND there are a bunch of new images from the movie as well!
The clip below show a lot of new footage and it’s very “hip.” It’s designed to intrigue people who’ve probably not heard of the movie yet and as far as that I think it works well. For people who’ve been following the movie for months, while it does show a lot of new footage, it seems kind of… I don’t know.. like candy, if that makes any sense. Yeah, it’s cool, but I’m not sure if it makes me more excited about the movie like everything else I’ve heard and seen so far does.

The CGI seems kind of unfinished to me in some spots in the clip above, and for some reason it seems painfully hip to me.
Finally, here are just some of the new images that have been added to the updated Iron Man website.
Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr. and his driver (bodyguard?) Happy Hogan (director Jon Favreau)
Tony Stark and his best friend Jim “Rhodey” Rhodes (Terrence Howard)

The Mark II armor in flight

HEROES AREN’T BORN - THEY’RE BUILT
Great commercial!
Loved “Yeah, I can fly.”
The shot fired in the last scene was a great signoff. (Obviously he was wearing the Flip Them The Bird Armor there.)
Thats Jeff Bridges, not Beau
I was trying to crank out the post quickly.
Vic
I loved it! Yeah, one or two CGI-ish shots, but I loved seeing new stuff! I’m lovin’ it!
heath
Great job getting on this so quickly Vic. I’m stoked, man. Everytime I see this stuff I wish I would’ve put that Chicago gathering together that we discussed….
Well, I think the Huyndai Genesis commercials featured Jeff Bridges’ voice. Can’t get enough of The Dude! I think Iron Man’s gonna show just how awesome Jeff’s range is!
heath
I didn’t like the TV spot nearly as much as the trailer. But I will say it’s the only part of the Superbowl that I watched closely.
My bf is from Boston, so tonight was very painful for him.
I can relate to that too Liz I am olso from Boston, and seeing the Pats wining streak end was one of the painfull thing to see. But on the plus side the trailer is greate.
PS
what about the Hulk trailer, I thought they were going to show that during the Super Ball.
I hope to see SOMETHING soon about Hulk.
heath
ps-As a Dolphins fan, we’re all relieved the 2007 season didn’t get worse.
Vic
I know you’re a regular visitor but I need you to use an email address that is valid when you post a comment.
Vic
I got your Hulk trailer right here:
Vic Mad! Vic Smash! Puny Endri!
That was Fracken sweet! The Tony and Happy pic is my new background.
Also YEAH GIANTS!!! I loved when they sacked Brady with about 20 some seconds to go to add insult to injury, and then Belicheat running off the field like he just pooh beared his pants. It was a good Super Bowl for me.
Looks real good.

Ques:
So the Director also plays a role in the film?
holy piss that was amazing!!!!
the song in the background is cochise by audioslave
this is going to be a kickass movie!
No, you’re right about the commercial.
It seemed immature and a little corny whereas every previous ad was incredible and made you excited.
I actually thought the new ad made the movie seem weaker
Wow.. it’s looking cooler with each extra tidbit!!
Why is it that the Mark II armor looks only like an unpainted version of the Mark III? I only see some slight difference in the epaulettes and the gauntlets.
It would have been better if the Mark II looks visibly inferior and different compared to the Mark III, because otherwise the transition from Mark I to II to III wouldn’t seem so dramatic. The Mark II is very different from the Mark I, but unfortunately the Mark III looks like a Mark II with a coat of paint.
IT WAS AMAZING!!! Had a youth feel to it. I watched the superbowl in BW3 and it recieved LOTS of WOWS. Thanks Vic for the spot and pics so expresso!
Vic,
For the IM hardcore, the spot was a little too sweet, but believe that it was wiser to go that direction for getting the largest silver screen audience(the teens)that don’t know IM in the seats.
Jae Senn, from what I’ve seen so far of the Mark II, I have to say I agree with you. There are some rivets on the chestplate that aren’t visible on the Mark III, but aside from that it’s pretty darned close.
Rob, I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought so.
Adrian, on the flip side, yes, I agree that it was aimed more at the general audience and as far as that goes it was probably very effective.
Whew!
Vic
Jim Carey FU. Vic is thise adress good.
A warrior does not hide under armor!! Iron Man has no honor!!! petaQ!!
Yeah, whatever. :o)
I want the IM promos to stop. I couldn’t get anymore hyped about this and this last trailer will get butts in the seats. I just feel too much of the movie will be shown through these trailers.
Also, I think the Mark 3 had more functions than the Mark 2, stronger armor and more effective weapons.
Vic
Klingon humor just dosnt work on a Monday. John.
^
I’m not diggin the fact that the director is in the film.
But I’m prob the only one….
^
Sure glad football seasons over!
I REALLY liked the spot, but it gave me some concerns. The CGI at the end looked unfinished. I agree with others have said, this spot was intended to appeal to the masses who haven’t heard of the movie yet. So with that, I am withholding any harsh criticism (which is only nitpicking anyway).
Steve, why the concern for the director appearing in the film? Fav is an actor. My only concern is he played Foggy Nelson in the Daredevil movie as Affleck’s sidekick. Hmmm… I’m embarassed to admit I remember the DD movie. I guess Paramount/Marvel is banking on us forgetting that one.
Heck, Favreau played the twisted dentist in one of my favorite Monk episodes. Everyone should check that out. You can see how much better shape he is now as well…
Hmm. This goes back to the interview Vic posted up a few days ago.
His responses to some of the questions seemed odd to me. Now I think I know why, (he’s an Actor).
^
Most directors don’t create roles for themselves in the films there Directing. I’m not saying that this film will be bad due to this minor thing but it does make me say “hmmm, this film could have problems”.
Sure it looks great but…….well see.
I’ve been on sets before and when a director has to spend time in wardrobe and make-up to do be in the film he’s shooting. Trust me the entire crew thinks a little less of him.
^
Ok, bring it.
I have to admit I like the Audioslave in this spot better than Sabbath. Sabbath is too obvious, and dare I say, antiquated.
Can’t say I’m as excited about this movie as some of the *other* posters on here… (I thought I had accidentily loaded an IM fansite
I kid…
Seriously though, I’m not a huge fan of Stark as a character. I mostly just enjoy when he clashes with other Marvel heroes
Endri, that trash talk was actually sorta for Vic. Since he ignored it, and you said FU, I guess Hulk humor doesn’t work on Sundays.
Kahless, I like your Klingon talk. Funny you should use the words “under armor” as the “underarmor” commercial last night was cool but very evasive. Still not exactly sure how that ad sold anything like the product name.
Haha Jim, I think alot of people lost big bucks on the football game.
^
Weirdest thing at my bank today the atm’s were all sucked dry for cash.
I sure hope this film dosnt have alot of speedmetal rock like, Audioslave. And yes even Black Sabbeth is tired and wornout.
^
If the action scenes art overlaid with speed metal that’s Deffinitly Strike 1 agaisnt.
^
Call me an old crusty barnicle, but I would really prefer an Orchestrated soundtrack. Something grand!!!
^
Let’s not sell out to every song that has the words Iron Man in it. Gheeesh
Zipper, I just recently watched an episode of Monk for the first time and I have to report that the show was very funny.
Tony Shalhoub was great in Galaxy Quest and its nice to see his comedic talents in Monk.
He really has great comedic timing!
I like the sound & music on the trailer AND the commercial. It is a perfect match to a badass impression. Obviously “heavy metal” is in keeping with the very name. (I’ve never heard either full song). Steve, speaking of hero names in songs, are you looking for Magneto & Titanium Man (and the Crimson Dynamo)? Superman & Green Lantern?
I get real tired of the all purpose vocal opera (ah ah oh oh) stuff. They had that for the Prince Caspian ad. That ad was crap because it was just random scenes–derivative of the first movie. Prince Caspian was the lamest of the Narnia books, but hey, give viewers an idea of the STORY.
Yea Jim, Audioslave=garbage.
(In my oldman opinion). Haha
^
This same topic came up with a younger bud of mine when we were talking about the “rage against the machine” speedmetal music at the end of the Matrix films.
(Gawd I hated that crap).
He told me that. they’re lyrics are very controversial and relevent to the darkness in society. My reply to him was “that’s great, what lyrics?”
All I heard was a bunch of noise and a vocalist that sounded like he was being tortured by Jack Bauer.
well i just want to add that it was difficult to figure out what the song was based on the short clip with no vocals but i did compare and its all from the first 15 secs of cochise, which is not metal by anyones definition although it is related to rage against the machine being the same band with a different singer. just patting myself on the back
Yeah Stemar, I was one of the 6 people in the solar system that didn’t watch the game yesterday. I only saw the photos so far.
But when I heard. Audioslave on this post. I had to run to the bathroom.
I just don’t dig that sound man.
I was working today with a bunch of guys and gals who saw the trailer last night and they were PUMPED. Most of them aren’t comic book fans by any measure, but they’re excited about Iron Man! YEAH!
heath
Oops sorry for that mispell Stamar.
^
Let’s just hope they never use the song “wish I could fly like a superman” by the Kinks in the next Superman film.
^
Great song but come on…..
Hey John, where did you see that ridiculous “warrior” comment? Dumbest comment ever…
Vic
Hey, that wasn’t me, it was Kahless. And I don’t think you want Kahless to hear you call his statement dumb.
Your blood shall pave the way to the future, petaQ!!!!
Too late. :o)
Klingon humor just dosnt work on a Monday. John.
Steve Adams
It’s Tuesday now, petaQ, so what’s your excuse now??!! Weakling hu-maaan!!
Don’t fret Kahless; he hasn’t had his daily supply of gagh yet (served live, of course).
Kahless, I like your Klingon talk. Funny you should use the words “under armor” as the “underarmor” commercial last night was cool but very evasive. Still not exactly sure how that ad sold anything like the product name.

Klingon talk???!! That was weakling human talk!! This is Klingonese: Hab SoSlI’ Quch!! ghuy’cha’!!!
I would translate for you but I think Vic would kick me off. :o)
I don’t remember seeing an add for “underarmor”. Did it appear before or after the IM spot?
I recognise the House of Kaless, but sheesh. Cut back on the Petaq bombs this is a Federation endorsed site.
Vic
You guys are geeks after my own heart.
Vic
We aim to please. :o)
I don’t remember seeing an add for “underarmor”. Did it appear before or after the IM spot?
John, it was before the Iron Man commercial. I suspect that you saw it but were befuddled as many as to the product.
Or maybe you and two wenches were playing pin the tail on the pain stick.

I have to say that I LOVED the trailer, and I LOVED the outcome of the game! LOL!! I was VERY doubtful of RDJ as IM, but he seems to be made for the part! Oh, and I thought the trailer with Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” was incredible and very appropriate. I got chills during it.
And Steve, Rage Against the Machine is NOT speed metal. Industrial metal, maybe, but PLEASE PLEASE don’t call them speed metal. That is an insult to great bands like Megadeth, Overkill, Anthrax and Flotsam and Jetsam. LOL
Sorry Andy, how bout the term, crap-metal?
Or maybe you and two wenches were playing pin the tail on the pain stick.
ROTFLMBO!!
I went to the link you provided and yes, I do remember that add.
Oh, and Kahless wants you to stay right where you are while he energizes his forward disruptors. :o)
Kahless, feel free to e-mail me so I don’t hijack this thread completely off topic?

WOW! This was very cool,IMO. It was great to see a little more of the Iron Monger in action.
I agree tho,the scene at the end there with the tank DID seem a little unfinished. Still cool tho…..
I remember some previous posts here at the site about how some of you thought it would be hard to get any type of expression or emotion on IM’s face cuz of his helmet,much like the dillema the Spider-Man producers faced,obviously. But it looks to me,based on the end scenes of the teaser,like Spider-Man,SOMETHING happens to IM’s helmet toward the end of the film that exposes his face and allows us to see Stark.
And in regards to Vic’s comment on the teaser being “very hip” to help attract a larger audience,I think he’s right. But it must work tho…does anyone remeber the teasers and trailers for the first Spider-Man? They were ALL hip too…..
SIDENOTE: I’ve had the FLU the past few days which is why I’m a little late coming to this post. Hopefully I’ll be better by this time next week…..
Good point KEL,(get well soon Bro!).
^
I loved the scenes in Spider-man when he gets battle-damaged or looses his mask. (Makes the entire movie seem more realistic).
It would be great if in Iron Man we see him getting his mask damaged enough to see his face in a huge battle scene. Reminds me of great gladiator battles where there armor is just being beaten away.
^
^
^
(Going back in time)……..
I allways thought it would have added more realism if during the final battle between Vader and Luke, Luke damages Vader in the same way.
How cool would it have been to see chunks of Darth Vaders suit breaking off and exposing the mechanics underneath.
Tribble, Screaming!!!
^
Jim this mans a Klingon!
^
Tribble, screaming again…..
Speaking of tribbles, did anyone see the episode of DS9 when they went back in time to the episode with the tribbles and put themselves in among the crew? I loved that episode!!!
Trials and Tribble-ations. Season 5 episode 6.
That one?
Yea that was a great blend of TOS and Ds9.
Classic Trek!
^
That line , “Jim that man is a Klingon” is from that Epsiode.
Well the Orginal Trouble with Tribbles I mean.
Well…Steve…I get where you’re coming from,wih the whole “realistic” realm and all but let’s consider a few things shall we?
1. I like the Spidey films but using the same mask-gets-torn-at-end-of-film gimick (along with villain kidnapping girlfriend) for 3 movies in a row not only got repetetive (mispelled…? sorry),but it also got REALLY annoying and old (not to mention it showed a lack of creativity a bit..sorry).
2. Unlike Spider-Man,Iron Man/Stark NEEDS his suit for powers and to stay alive,whereas if Spidey loses his mask the fight still goes on and he can take as many punches from Green Goblin as his superhuman durability will allow,Iron Man on the other hand,all it takes is one blow from Iron Monger’s super strong armor to Stark’s un protected head and he’s dead.
3.Why in the heck would IM lose his helmet or have it crushed in the first place? Isn’t this the superhero who’s comic book tagline is “the INVINCIBLE Iron Man”? Invincible,right? Surely his armor won’t be broken THAT badly.
4.I know this is rather trivial,but isn’t Parker’s mask breaking in a fight almost the equivelant of Superman’s CK glasses appearing on his face suddenly after being punched by a baddie? No…..? Just thought I’d throw that out there……
Maybe we’ll see some of that on the new live action SW series this fall!
Gotta say tho..that Vader scene woulda been pretty sweet!
Yea I hear ya KEL, I allways thought it would be kinda funny and cool to start a Spider-man film off where he’s leaving the city with MJ to escape all the crime for a few weeks. When he lands in say Portu Rico he all of a sudden has to fight this NEW super-villian. Of course MJ needs to be rescued. That’s just part of the Spider-man legacy. We have to assume she’s only put in harms way by the real bad villians (the ones in the films).
^
I kinda expect spideys mask to come off during the ending battles.
It seems to ground the character for me anyway…
Iron Man however I’m jusr going by what somebody posted here about his mask armor getting messed up.
I realise he dosnt have super-powers like Parker does. It will be interesting to see how much damage he gets delt in this new film.
I realise he dosnt have super-powers like Parker does. It will be interesting to see how much damage he gets delt in this new film.
In the comics, IM fought the Hulk and nearly bought the farm. Stark had to create a whole new armor because of the Hulk. It would be nice to see this armor in the film.
JUST SAW IRON MAN TRAILER HERE IN SCOTLAND AND IT LOOKS GREAT.
IF THIS IS A HUGE HIT OF A MOVIE DO YOU THINK MABEY “ROBOCOP” MIGHT GET A WELCOME RETURN TO THE BIG SCEEN?
WITH ALL THE CGI STUFF NOW I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT HOLLYWOOD WOULD HAVE BEEN EAGER TO BRING HIM BACK.
I STILL THINK THAT FIRST ROBOCOP MOVIE IS A CLASSIC. BRING HIM BACK.
Yea I could go for a new Robocop!
^
1 was great but I actually watch 2 more.
3 was just bad….
ROBOCOP 2 SHOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT. IT SUFFERED FROM TOO MUCH TROUBLE BEHIND THE SCENES AS SUPERMAN 2 DID.
I MEAN FRANK MILLER WROTE ROBOCOP 2 AND LOOK WHAT HE’S UP TO NOW; 300 ,SIN CITY.
IT WAS TRYING TO DO THEN WHAT THE BATMAN MOVIES NOW ARE JUST CATCHING UP WITH.
ROBOCOP WAS KICKIN’ ASS SUPERHERO WISE LONG BEFORE THE OTHERS.
