News > Jon Favreau Divulges Some Iron Man details

On his personal MySpace, Jon Favreau explained some of the Iron Man movie stills released over the past few weeks – specifically, what these glowing dots on Tony Stark's chest are.

"The light you see in the photo on Robert's chest in the USA Today article is the chest piece glowing through his shirt," Favreau said, thus proving that Tony Stark will wear his patented chest plate in order to walk around when outside his suit. 

Here is the full post from Favreau:

I just got back in town. The company has been on the road for many weeks. We started off in the mountains of Lone Pine which doubled for Afghanistan. We then moved to Edwards Air Force Base. We finally closed out the out of town work with Fontana, CA.

Let me confirm a few things: The movie will contain both the gray suit and the gold and red. The light you see in the photo on Robert's chest in the USA Today article is the chest piece glowing through his shirt. He is in captivity and forging the mask of the Mark 1. Both suits have been built practically by Winston Studios and are busily at work as we speak. We are exploring ideas for teaser trailers, though no date has been decided. We are planning to attend San Diego Comicon. Bridges is bald and plays Stane. The movie is on schedule and could not be going better.

Good to hear that things are going great. Though Jon Favreau will have to prove to the world that he can direct action, Robert Downey Jr. and Jeff Bridges have solid (albeit drug-heavy) track records, thus making this the #1 comic book flick I'm looking forward to this year. Or next year. Whatever.
