I spent last weekend with one of the graphic artist/designers of this movie and he was pretty excited about the work he did for it - he works on different technical set designs and I think some of the suit stuff and props. So if nothing else it should look really cool -

Ive got a guy that works for me who has a sideline gig working for indy comic publishers as a colorist and dude is the definition of comic book geek.

Showed it to him and he offered the following insight:

Warmachine never went with that color scheme

Tony never made a suit for Cap - although he did make one for Spiderman.

Ironman never featured the Red, White, and Blue scheme.

His guess is that it is either a new color scheme for Warmachine or that Tony makes Cappy a suit and it is not a villain.

Pics on yahoo.com this morning...

"Marvel's The Avengers" is still tearing it up at the box office, raking in over $527 million to date, but that doesn't mean Tony Stark gets a break from saving the world. "Iron Man 3" is currently filming in Wilmington, North Carolina. Photographers caught the first look at one of the new villains in the movie, the Iron Patriot, who is sporting armor that could give Stark a run for his money. First introduced in the comic "Dark Avengers #1," the Iron Patriot might have a suit of high-tech armor with a Captain America paint job, but the man inside is not a hero. Click ahead to see who is under the mask.

less That's actor James Badge Dale ("The Departed," TV's "24") as Eric Savin, one of the villains of "Iron Man 3." In the comics, Savin is a soldier who is gravely injured in a land mine explosion and reanimated as a cyborg called Coldblood-7. It looks like the movie merges his character from the books with the Iron Patriot armor (which was worn by Spider-Man's nemesis Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin).

You can spot in the photo that Dale only wears the armored suit from the waist up. He wears motion capture sensors on his legs, which will be used to create computer-generated armor later on. Having the actor only wear the top half of the suit is a method that was first developed for Robert Downey Jr. in "Iron Man 2." This allows the actor to really be wearing the armor, but freeing his legs for a full range of motion.

"Iron Man 3" will arrive in theaters on May 3, 2013

Iron-Patriot/Coldblood-7?

Apparently we are also getting The Mandarin and Dr Aldrich Killian

http://io9.com/59144...tor-whos-future

There's a new report out claiming to explain just how the movie's three villains fit together. First up, according to these reports, Ben Kingsley is indeed playing the Mandarin, despite Marvel's constant denials and director Shane Black going so far as to call the character kind of racist. However, he apparently isn't the main villain, with him instead being simply the power behind Memento star Guy Pearce, who will play the primary antagonist Aldrich Killian, who unleashes the Extremis nanotechnology army. Backing them up will be the relatively minor Firepower, played by Ashely Hamilton, and the recently spotted James Badge Dale as Iron Patriot. It should be stressed that none of this is even remotely confirmed, but it all seems plausible enough, as long as you buy the whole Mandarin rumor. [/Film]

The recent filming at the Cape Fear Club in Wilmington, North Carolina reportedly involved Robert Downey, Jr., supposedly an unidentified second main cast member, and a bunch of extras in military uniforms and suits like those of Secret Service agents. Further set reports suggest that parts of Wilmington are being redressed as Miami for a portion of filming. And then there's this fairly important tidbit:

While talking to some Wilmington locals, we had one source involved with the production tell us that Mandarin was definitely the villain. He said Mandarin had a set of twins that did most of his dirty work for him. Another source who had visited EUE/Screen Gems Studios told us that the sets they were building included Chinese storefronts.

The "twins" referred to might well be James Badge Dale's Iron Patriot and Ashley Hamilton's Firepower, if only in the interest of economy of characters. I'd say those two could theoretically pass for fraternal twins, but obviously this is purely speculations, and indeed all these reports should be taken with a grain of salt until we hear something more official.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
