Iron Man 2 image with my caption
Marvel has wrapped up principal photography of the Iron Man 2 film. What this means basically is the actors have shot all their scenes. Now the film will go into post production where the special effects, editing, and piecing together the film happens.
I wrote a reply on a good website www.superherohype.com when I heard this.
Is Marvel being cheap on the budget? From what I understand movie studios usually shoot for about 3 months or 90 days. A 71 day shoot for what you want as a blockbuster seems rushed and is not the normal way things go.
It looks like Marvel as a studio is still trying to figure out and coordinate how a production should go. And they are probably cutting corners a long the way.
As a studio, they still have not built a solid foundation base as a movie company.
Just because you already have one hit or two in films, does not determine how well a movie studio will do. I think their next few feature films, and how well they are received and financially do will determine where this studio goes.
I really hope this movie is great, with more action then the first one. But as with any movie we will have to wait and see what the final product will be like. But if it is on par with the first film, then Iron Man will have accomplished something that is very rare in superhero movies. And that is two movies that are actually well made and that fans like.
