A little video has appeared via Phamousfotos showing Downey Jnr getting out of some fancy-pants car all dressed up as Tony Stark. I’m getting more interested in the ‘Iron Man’ movie and think it could be a big hit and might sneak up on a lot of audiences.

Jon Favreau is a interesting choice of directors, and I was a bit wary when I first heard about it, but then I guess it’s no weirder than letting Sam Raimi loose on the Spider-man series and that paid off big time. So Favreau plus the always awesome Downey Jnr… I think I might need to start reading some Iron Man comics to prepare myself.

Based on the long-running Marvel comic book series, Iron Man tells the story of Tony Stark, the enigmatic heir to the Stark Enterprises fortune. A driven inventor and executive who seems to have it all, Tony is haunted by his dark side. Though he commands his empire by day, by night he secretly becomes “Iron Man,” the living embodiment of decades of defense spending and innovation. Strapping on billions of dollars worth of state-of-the-art armor and weaponry each night to fight crime, terrorism and corporate espionage, Tony begins to crack under the strain of his fractured lifestyle and must ultimately confront the one enemy he can never beat — himself.

The film is slated for release May 2008, you can sign up for updates at the official site here
