Movie News – Iron Man2 update – Edge of Darkness recast – Mariah Carey back on the big screen

Iron Man 3D with Mandarin?

In a very recent interview with Collider, director Jon Favreau mentioned that he is strongly considering shooting Iron Man 2 in IMAX 3D.Jon’s inspiration was the IMAX “Dark Knight” footage, which he called a game changer. Regarding the 3D, he said it’s all about the cost, but if they can make it happen he’d like to do it. He talked about getting to see the armor in 3D and how cool it would be. While he was a bit cagey about specifics with “Iron Man 2,” he did mention Iron Man’s arch villain ‘Mandarin’ a lot and he said we can expect a lot more surprises in the sequel in terms of other comic book characters (maybe the Avengers). I would be shocked if Mandarin wasn’t the featured villain for Iron Man 2, but that’s just me.

Mariah Carey the best part of Tennessee?

Mariah Carey’s new film, a road trip drama called Tennessee, will be released in December. Carey plays a waitress whose dreams of a singing career have been dashed by a bad marriage. Adam Rothenberg and Ethan Peck also star in the film. Seven years after her disastrous first movie, Glitter, was widely panned by critics, the singer’s latest film had its premiere at this spring’s Tribeca Film Festival in New York. The BBC‘s Mark Savage, who watched the film at the Cannes Film Festival where it was previewed, said: “Amazingly, Mariah is the best thing in it.” He added: “Carey is so good, in fact, that the film feels rather flat when she’s off-screen.”
