We are done with the first week of photography. I am happy to report that the ten months of preparation allowed the extremely challenging first week of photography to come off without a hitch. The look is fantastic and the performances are great as well. Downey was definitely the right choice.

I'm looking forward to getting out of the "cave." The first few weeks of shooting are spent, somewhat in sequence, establishing Stark's captivity. It sets the table tonally for the rest of the film. The close quarters and tight schedule make it the toughest part of the shoot on the cast and crew.

thats great. hope the rest of the shoot goes smoothly.

Dude, I love you. Keepin' it real and connecting with fans.

You should get RDJ to post here! That would be amazing.

Here's to few obstacles. Hope there's a great sense of team among the actors and you.... Raimi seemed to get great things done with that route. Listen to all voices, let yours be the guide.

I really hope that you keep us informed nearly every week. That would be really cool.

Brilliant advice! I hope you can use this technique, because everyplace I've seen it happen, success follows.

Love the update, Jon, it's very appreciated. Sounds like there's some desert shooting in the immediate future.

Thanks for the update Jon! I keep getting more and more excited about this movie as I hear more about it.

Awsome!

I can't wait to see it... and special effects equal to battlestar galactic and firefly!!! oh man, I think I just bust a blood vessel.. your cast and crew teams must know what the're doing to have that kind of confidence... can't wait for the next post. keep up the good work

It sure is good to know that this film is in good hands. I had no doubt that the first week would go smoothly, nor do I doubt that about the rest of the way. Just keep trusting your instincts Jon.
