Even more shocking movie news, Mickey Rourke and Scarlett Johansson has both joined the cast of Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man 2” sequel for Marvel. Mickey will be playing the Russian villain and Scarlett will be playing the Black Widow, since Emily Blunt pulled out to join “Gulliver’s Travels” instead.

“Iron Man 2” is sounding good so far. Hopefully, it will be better than the first.

Actor Tim Robbins is rumoured to be casted as Howard Stark, Tony Stark’s father in “Iron Man 2”. It’s been said that Tim Robbins will only play a small flashback scene where he brings together “The Avengers” and “Captain America”.
For those who has forgotten who Tim Robbins is, he has starred in movies such as “The Shawshank Redemption”, “Antitrust”, “Mystic River”, “War of the Worlds”, etc.

Lets hope this rumour is true. Tim Robbins is a brilliant actor and he would make a good cast addition to the “Iron Man” series.

Actors Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau (he is also the director of “Iron Man”) are set to reteam by starring in the leading roles in a comedy titled, “Couples Retreat”. Vaughn first teamed up with Favreau for the film “Swingers” released in 1996, they later reteamed for the second time for the film “Made” released in 2001.
In “Couples Retreat”, Favreau wrote the script. The film will be directed by Peter Billingsly. Jason Bateman and Faizon Love will co-star.
The film will be about four couples who go on a vacation to a tropical island resort. While one couple is working on their marriage, the others are there to play, but they soon discover that participation in the resort’s couple therapy is not optional.
The film is set to start filming sometime in late October and will be filmed in Bora Bora and Los Angeles.

I enjoyed the films “Swingers” and “Made”, I’ll be looking forward to this one too. I like both Vaughn and Favreau.
