Iron Man movie update

Just read about this today, Sam Jackson is shooting his scenes for the Iron Man movie as Nick Fury, the perfect choice IMO for the part. From all I have been reading, this is shaping up to be one of the must see movies for 2008.

No offense,but :wtf:.I'm sure Sam Jackson will do a good job,but as far as a "perfect" choice goes,I don't think so.How could it be when Nick Fury is supposed to be a white guy?Don't get me wrong,I like Jackson,but they could have got any other middle aged actor to do it.How about Kevin Costner(even though I don't care for him too much).
 
Ha!
I was thinking Hoff as well.

I think that's a terrible choice. now if you said sam jackson was gonna play Jim Rhodes AKA War Machine, then I would agree that it's an awesome choice. But not as Nick Fury
 
Actually if you read any of the Ultimate comics (Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-Men, The Ultimates etc...) then you'll see that Nick Fury is modeled after Samuel L. Jackson. So in this sense, it is Ultimate (pun intended) casting.

Ok, I forgot about General Nick Fury. If that's what they're going by then it does fit. So, going by that theory, the iron man movie is part of the Ultimate Iron Man storyline. Which it probably won't be. Which means they fucked up:lame:

Or they just needed an excuse to put Jackson in a movie. :1orglaugh

I think that's basically it. how can we make this movie so that people will come and see it after taking into consideration how much of a let down the last three major marvel movies were........hmmmm.........sam jackson
 
Anybody besides me... and this is off-topic, but.. anybody besides me think it's awesome that the MUMMY 3 will have JET LI?!

Eh.........kind of exciting. I really don't think they should make a third one. Next thing you know, they'll want to make a second scorpion king. Plus, Rachel Weisz isn't playing the lead female character in this movie. The cast listing has Maria Bello set to play the lead female role. Frankly, I find Rachel Weisz to be hotter
 
back to the main topic (mummy 3 seems like it will be awesome anyways), no offense to sam jackson, why would they go with the ultimate nick fury instead of classic fury? i mean its not like an ultimate era movie, the armor isnt even the ultimate armor.
 

Legzman

what the fuck you lookin at?
did they?
I thought the scorpion king was technically mummy 3
 
lol @ iamforevers comment.

yeah, not much to say here. who really cares about the ultimate marvel storyline? rewriting classic comics because they can't come up with any new ideas? I can't understand why people would be into that. that's like changing the origins of spidermans black suit (which they did). that turned me off as a marvel fan.

Marvel was really putting out some good stuff before civil war, and for the first time in a long time they had the edge over DC. it's sad to see that they've reverted back to thier lame ideas, basically just replicating the lameness of the 2099 concept from the 90's all over again.

the first X-men and Spiderman were good, entirely because they were the works of acclaimed directors doing something that hadn't been seen in awhile. Because of thier box office and critical success, marvel got the WRONG idea that any campy ass superhero movie that they did would be gold, and they really dropped the ball - not at all unlike the same losing formula previously demonstrated by comic movies in the 80's and 90's.

It's because they think that this generation doesn't have an interest in the classic storylines. With all the technology, stereotypes, gender issues, and teen drama there is today, they don't think kids would be interested in just a super hero fighting a super villain because the villain stole some jewelry. Frankly, when I did read comics, I barely ever read either DC or Marvel
