Second Script for IRON MAN Turned In
Comics Continuum is reporting that Al Gough and Miles Millar, creators of
The WB's SMALLVILLE, have turned in a second draft of an IRON MAN movie
script.
"It's an awesome draft," said Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige. "There should be
a director soon."
Feige is also aware of Tom Cruise's interest in the project. Feige added,
"There have been discussions over the last several years and there are a
number of factors involved. All we know is that we're putting all the pieces
in place and then we'll find the best Tony Stark that we can get." IRON MAN,
the adaptation of Marvel's comic book character, is set for 2005.
IRON MAN is about wealthy industrialist Tony Stark, a man who, for medical
reasons, is forced to don a suit of armor that he designed. He quickly uses
the powerful armor to be a do-gooder and fight evil. However, Stark has
another battle to fight, one with alcohol.
