Stan Winston working on Shellhead's Armour

... according to Jon Favreau himself. Hot on the heels that Gwyneth Paltrow (whom he met on an idie called Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle many years ago) was to become Pepper Potts. Fav revealed that Stan Winston himself was creating Iron Man's armour- how shit-hot is that?

Winston's exhaustive list of previous work includes: The live-action dinosaurs for the Jurassic Park Films, the "Terminator effects" for the whole Terminator trilogy, Johnny Depp's "appendages" in Edward Scissorhands and work on Aliens and the Predator movies.

Jon also told me that "we begin filming in eight weeks", the sets are being built. Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby of Children Of Men are working on the script and Matty Libatique is the DP.

It looks like this is shaping up to be magnificent.
