Principal photography ended with a huge bang as we filmed the final scenes of Iron Man in Caesar's Palace. As many of you already know, gambling is a casino's top priority. A production can not interfere with their cash cow. As a result, movies must shoot during the dead hours, no matter if it's Swingers or Rain Man. We were given a window of midnight to one the next afternoon to do all of our work. Part of our strategy to prepare for these ungodly hours was to stay up as late as possible the night before and sleep as late as possible. I did half the plan. The wrong half. I stayed out until 7AM and then woke up four hours later. After motoring through the delerium of a sleepless shooting marathon, I am proud to report that we have handily completed our movie on time and on budget. What a great way to end.

I would also like to thank Ceasars for their hospitality, generosity, and Swank accomodations.

AWESOME!
Can't wait to see this ish brotha!

Thanks for the update Jon! I hope you can take some time off now and relax abit. We are all so looking forward to next May! Congratulations!! hmm.. Swank accomodations?? is that some kind of clue? :)

thanks for the update Jon, so looking forward to this movie

Are we going to see Tony lose his billions at a craps table?

Can't wait for this film. Really seems like it's going to be one of the greatest superhero movies yet.

All roads lead to Vegas... too funny.

I am seriously giddy right now. Hilary Swank... just... freakin' awesome. Jon, I owe you a beer. Thanks for coming on and letting us know the latest; we'd been wondering when principal was wrapping.

I wonder if this means the fun part is over... now post begins. Is the end in sight?

Tenacious high five, Jon!

Awesome man! This sounds great! Finally filming has ended, now time for the trailer stuff to happen. But what about Mandarin Jon? Was he still on as a villain or no?

Swank doesn't necessarily mean hilary swank, for those not in the know swank means; classy, upscale, great, amazing. So jon saying how swank the accomadations were just means they were really great rooms, service, what-have-you..........Or I could be totally off and hilary swank could be a last minute addition. Either way, its great that we're that much closer to seeing the Iron Man on screen.

Couple of eyewitnesses to the filming posted her sighting on the IMDB Iron Man board earlier today, we're discussing it a few threads down.

I won't speak for Jon, but he's very limited as to what he can tell us, or what he wants to reveal. It was a very generous gesture, assuming we're not reading too much into it.

AWESOME!!!!

THE FAV DIDNT FORGET US!!!

and Swank could still be a Clue....I say Natasha Romanov

Hillary does have a great jawline and a knack for accents. And she could fill a black spandex suit very nicely, while aiming a high-caliber weapon!

Sign me up for a Black Widow movie, Jon!

Thanks for the update! Much appreciated!

You're such a tease, Mr. Favreau! "Swank accomodations" HAHA I guess we have to wait until 2008 to know for sure, huh? :) That's okay, save the surprises as long as you can!

Hey Jon, C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S ! Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing another great Marvel hero to fruition. This will be the first time that anyone has seen Iron Man actually alive and it's cuz you brought him to us. Thanks again, muchas gracias, etc. MTZ, Baby!

More like losing his billions at the bar! (Heh, get it? Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.)
