Iron Man wraps filming, Indiana Jones begins

iron.jpgA quick update on two movies that are going to brighten the month of May for us next year. According to Jon Favreau's official myspace message board, Iron Man has now completed principal photography and he may even hint at an additional bit of casting for the flick...
Principal photography ended with a huge bang as we filmed the final scenes of Iron Man in Caesar's Palace. As many of you already know, gambling is a casino's top priority. A production can not interfere with their cash cow. As a result, movies must shoot during the dead hours, no matter if it's Swingers or Rain Man. We were given a window of midnight to one the next afternoon to do all of our work. Part of our strategy to prepare for these ungodly hours was to stay up as late as possible the night before and sleep as late as possible. I did half the plan. The wrong half. I stayed out until 7AM and then woke up four hours later. After motoring through the delerium of a sleepless shooting marathon, I am proud to report that we have handily completed our movie on time and on budget. What a great way to end. I would also like to thank Ceasars for their hospitality, generosity, and Swank accomodations.
So apparently because "Swank" is written with a capital S half through the sentence, it's a hint that Oscar winning actress Hilary Swank will appear in the film. The web is now flooded with reports that she has a cameo in the film. Personally it's a loose link but that capital S does make you wonder doesn't it? Indiana Jones and the City of Gods began filming a couple of weeks ago but now we have our first official video podcast from the set of the film that features Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. There's nothing much of interest apart from a look at a vintage car that will make an appearance in the film but I thought it was pretty cool just to see Lucas and Spielberg on the set of Indy Jones again. A nice moment! CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO source - slash film, coming soon
