There are less than four months left until the premiere of Paramount’s Iron Man movie but in the meantime you can feast your eyes on this fan film created by David Guivant. It’s not so much a movie as it is the opening title sequence for an Iron Man TV series, made in the spirit of Sandy Collora’s Batman Dead End and World’s Finest.
David created this on a shoestring budget over a period of a couple of years and it features Tony Stark as Iron Man, plus it includes Pepper Potts, Happy Hogan, The Black Widow, Ms. Marvel, Nick Fury AND The Mandarin. Not only that, but it’s chock full of special effects, which believe it or not are all 2D and not 3D.
It’s been a labor of love for him and I encourage you to check it out below!

nice work. hope the movie doesn’t have the misandrist hate that is so prevalent in hollywood movies today.
Will this be an actual series?
Chris,
No it won’t. But it’s a testament to the quality of it that you thought it would be.
Vic
Great trailer, one of the best I have seen…why arent the studios recruiting from sites like these. instead of making crappy FF, punisher, Daredevil, (cant leave out Spiderman 3)movies. Get David on the payroll, keep it real to the comics…
The Trailer is real good, but the music is so over used that it takes away from the trailer!!
Really, it would be worth it to recut it with some other music.
Thanks for the feedback, there are cool music, but they’re too short for the opening credit.
Thanks for the support Omar, indeed, a good project comes when you put the right minds together to produce something wonderful.

I sent you this e-mail 10 days ago and I never gotten a reply or help. Here it is:
I am wondering do you have any pics of Black Widow and Ms. Marvel from the trailer from the New Iron Man Fan film? I am looking for the pics that Rosanne Ringenbach and Emilie Denis wearing the costumes of Black Widow and Ms. Marvel. Can you please help me? Thank you for your help.
I sent that on Wed 1/16/2008 1:38 PM.
Wow. That was great stuff for a fan film. Very good job done . I wish the guys in Hollywood had as much imagination.
Combien de temps il t’as fallu pour faire ça ? C’est la bande annonce d’un court metrage ?
Bonjour Eos, merci pour les commentaires.C’est un court-métrage sous forme de générique de série TV fictive.
3 Mois de production et 1 an et demi de post-production en 2D image par image dans photoshop. Tu peux voir ma galerie en haut du site concernant GIJOE / BIRDS OF PREY Saison 2 et TRANFORMERS.
C’est pas vraiment un court métrage alors, c’est un generique, ok. C’aurait pas été plus rapide de travailler avec After Effects ? Je conçois bien que le côté bricolage/image par image est très amusant à faire, mais tu aurais gagné pas mal de temps à faire ça avec un logiciel fait pour le travail de post production video ! C’est un super boulot que tu as fait, mais si au lieu de passer 1 an et demi à le faire tu avais passé un mois et demi, ç’aurait été bien plus impressionnant !
C’est un court-métrage sous forme de générique. ca change un peu des autres teasers et trailers habituels. Je suis Illustrateur et designer par formation, ce ne me dérange pas de faire avec photoshop et aussi en dehors de mes heures de travail respectives. Quand on a la passion et la patiente on oublie le temps et c’est le résultat qui compte en plus c’est gratuit pour visionner , 100 % dans l’esprit de Marvel. Est ce que tu voudrais me donner un coup de main sur mon prochain court-métrage et si c’est possible de me refiler ce logigiel s’il te plait?
Je suis d’accord que si on a la passion et la patience, le temps ne compte pas !
Le logiciel, tu peux le trouver un peu partout sur le net. C’est un produit Adobe.
David,
I’m still waiting for your reply, meantime vist my webste. . . .

Thanks LIZ, the Invincible Iron Man Fan film may be screened at several sci-fi conventions / Los Angeles / Australia and New Zealand. In April a short article next to Jon Favreau will be published in KHIMAIRA MAGAZINE:
Hi David… was your IIMFF picked up for the WonderCon Marvel presentation in San Francisco this weekend? I think you said you had written to them. Jon will be there and I am hoping he will show yours and the new trailer too.
Ahhh…. IM will soon be here!!!
No it wasn’t. It’s gonna be screened in AUSTRALI and NEW ZEALAND instead. The actors who did a wonderful job without any drama training wish to thank you all for the cool feedback and welcome you to NEW CALEDONIA if one day you want to come and visit our ISLAND for a vacation under the tropical Sun.
Great Fan film! On the mark. True to the original Iron theme. Thumbs up!
hi the music is for a group called sabath tracks called ironman
COOL NEWS, the IRON MAN FAN FILM is gonna be screened in Australia at the SUPANOVA CONVENTION. (Melbourne and Bribane !!)
Great! When will that be?
Will you also be releasing it on the web at the same time? Or maybe distribute it on torrent sites?
Jae,
The fan film is up at the top of this page.
Vic
How the hell do you do it? you guys ROCK!!
Well, a good understanding of the Marvel Universe and it’s characters will make it easier to handle and deliver something good. Too bad we didn’t have the same amount of cash and workforce as Hollywood.
But all the actors did a great job portraying the Marvel characters even without any drama training.
Even Stan Lee and the Avengers had a cameo in the film.
The rest is only 2D frame by frame Illustrations and 1 and a half year of post-production on weekends.
100% Free to watch and free to enjoy !!
Thanks again on behalf of the Skeleton cast and crew.
I’m really looking forward to the Iron Man movie. I’m thinking it will be the best Marvel film ever made to date.
