Jon Favreau - Favreau Concerned About Iron Man Sequel
IRON MAN director JON FAVREAU has voiced his concerns about the scheduled release date for the comic book sequel - insisting he needs more time to make a good movie.
The action picture, which was released last month (May08), was a global box office smash and movie chiefs were quick to commission a sequel, slating an April 2010 release date.
But Favreau is worried that he won't be able to make the movie properly if he has to rush it to meet such a tight deadline - admitting both he and lead actor Robert Downey Jr. are unhappy with the release date.
He says, "Neither Robert nor I were consulted about this and we are both concerned about how realistic the date is. We owe it to the fans to have a great version of IM2 and, at this point, we would have less time to make it than the first one."

Red Hot Chili Peppers disband
Singer Anthony Keidis has revealed that the band members will step away from music to concentrate on their individual lives.
The singer told Rolling Stone that the band have decided to have no involvement in the band for 12 months after becoming exhausted with their hectic schedule.
The star went on to explain that he will spend more time with his family, while bassist Flea and guitarist John Frusciante are set to work on individual musical projects.
"We're disbanded for the moment," he said. "We took a very long time to make the 'Stadium Arcadium' record (released in 2006). It was a gruelling, long haul and it followed two other very long hauls, 'Californication' (1999) and 'By the Way' (2002).
"So we didn't really stop until the tour ended last year. We were all emotionally and mentally zapped at the end of that run. The discussion was, 'Let's not do anything Red Hot Chili Peppers-related for a minimum of one year, and just live and breathe and eat and learn new things.'"
He added: "I'm just home, hanging out with this really cool little kid, learning how to surf. But I'm starting to get just a little bit of a tingle that it would be nice to start thinking about songs and pieces of music. But just pieces."
