One of our astute readers already told us that they caught Jon Favreau on E! lamenting the fact that Emily Blunt had dropped out of “Iron Man 2,” due to unfortunate scheduling conflicts with “Gulliver’s Travels,” and she reconfirmed the news to AceShowbiz yesterday saying she was sad she couldn’t be part of the film.
Responding to a reporters’ reassuring suggestion that sequels are almost never as good as the original, she said, “I’m glad you said that, not me. It’s a little disappointing is all I can say.”
Blunt definitely tried to put on her best face though. “I’m okay. I just have to do this Fox movie, and it’s fine and I’m gonna have fun,” she said referring to “Gulliver’s Travels” rather unconvincingly. She sounds rather pained about the whole event. “The whole beginning of the year has been rather dramatic, so I’d just rather go in with fresh eyes and know that I’ve made the right decision. You just don’t know until it’s all finished and done with, do you?”
