New Line Cinema have been trying for more than two years to launch a film based on Marvel's** Iron Man** character. The story of billionaire superhero Tony Stark, who needs his suit to survive, always seemed like a perfect film idea. But after several script drafts and a trip on the casting carousel, there's been little progress.
If the company doesn't get its act together soon, the rights will revert back to Marvel. Should Marvel get control, expect it to shove the film on to the fast track. And given Marvel's recent production deal with Paramount, might this mean a certain Mr Tom Cruise can once more consider slipping on the suit?
