I know the hype is all about "Iron Man 2" right now. But Jeff Bridges still has one last thing to say about Iron Man's first outing that will make you even more excited for "Iron Man 2"!
I hope everyone had a good holiday! Now that that's out of the way:
The first "Iron Man" was awesome, I mean it was above awesome. "Iron Man" not only told a solid story, keeping you interested all the way through, it also proved that a B list Marvel character could also be done right for a successful presentation on the silver screen and, not to mention make a ton of money. Hey, nothing wrong with that right?
Jeff Bridges finally chimed in with his Iron Man experience saying:
“They had no script, man! They had an outline,” says Bridges. “We would show up for big scenes every day and we wouldn't know what we were going to say.”
This from Slashfilm:
"Bridges, director Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. would literally act out sequences during primitive rehearsals, Downey taking on Bridges’s role and vice versa, to find and essentially improvise their way to full scenes, the actor recounts. Bridges says that the entire production was probably saved by the improve prowess of the film’s director and star."
So, it turns out that Favs and Downey Jr. improved most of the important stuff, but they did it successfully. Which is something that does not always happen. Normally it is a major failure unless the right guy for the right job is up to bat. Thank Galactus that Favs was the one challenged with bringing "Iron Man" to the big screen and if it helps the quality and over all flow of "Iron Man 2" I hope they didn't work off a script for that one either.
