Tony Stark Upchucks While Suited Up In ‘Iron Man 2’
NPR has an interesting bit about some “Iron Man 2” plot points. Apparently Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark character does some good ol’ alcohol inspired barfing at the top of the screenplay. Sounds like that “Demon In A Bottle” story line is indeed going to rear its head.
“Eight weeks before shooting began on Iron Man 2, [production designer,] J. Michael Riva had just gotten the first real script. But he did have a list of sets and plot points. The first item on the list read: ‘Tony, in the Iron Man armor, pukes in a toilet.”I design a toilet,’ says Riva. ‘My big job for the day. After that I can go home. My kids ask me, ‘What’d you do today, Dad?’ I designed a toilet!”
What’s the big deal. If Tony Stark writes a hit play saves the world shouldn’t he be able to have a drink to unwind himself? BTW, we saw “I Love You, Man,” last night and Favreau is rather awesome in it. Nice to see he’s kept his comedic charms and timing.
