THE YEAR’S HOTTEST NEW SUPER HERO BLASTS OFF IN A THRILL-PACKED DVD AND SPECTACULAR BLU-RAY PRESENTATION

$315 Million Box Office Smash Debuts September 30, 2008 in Ultimate Edition Two-Disc Sets Exploding with Hours of Behind-the-Scenes Bonus Features, Deleted Scenes, Robert Downey Jr.’s Screen Test and Much, Much More

HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. – Delivering non-stop action and excitement from a Super Hero who boasts not only unique powers, but also irresistible charm, penetrating intelligence and a wry wit, Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures’ worldwide box office sensation IRON MAN soars onto DVD and Blu-ray on September 30, 2008. Kicking off the fourth quarter, Paramount Home Entertainment presents spectacular Ultimate Edition two-disc sets on both DVD and Blu-ray, as well as in a single-disc DVD. IRON MAN thrilled both critics and audiences around the world with its captivating story and stunning visual effects. Called “spectacular” (Rolling Stone) and “a thrill-a-minute blockbuster” (“Reel Talk”), the film features an all-star cast including Academy Award® nominees Robert Downey Jr. (Zodiac, Chaplin), Jeff Bridges (The Contender) and Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow) and Oscar® winner Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare In Love) and was directed by Jon Favreau (Elf).

Earning over $315 million in the domestic box office to date, IRON MAN lifts off with high-speed, high-flying action when jet-setting industrialist Tony Stark survives an unexpected attack in enemy territory and escapes by building a high-tech robotic suit of armor. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man. Straight from the pages of the legendary comic book, IRON MAN is a hero who is built—not born—to be unlike any other!

The IRON MAN Ultimate Edition two-disc sets are super-charged with hours of explosive bonus features that take viewers inside the suit of self-made Super Hero Tony Stark and his invincible alter ego. The sets offer the ultimate IRON MAN experience with extensive explorations of the origins of the character in a six-part featurette, as well as a seven-part in-depth look at the making of the film, a revealing documentary on the stellar visual effects, Robert Downey Jr.’s original screen test, deleted and extended scenes, a photo gallery of concept art and behind-the-scenes images on the set and more.

Re: Paramount Press Release: Iron Man (DVD/Blu-ray)

The bonus material looks pretty solid (given that it isn't all fluff), but I must say I'm a tiny bit disappointed that there isn't some tribute to Stan Winston, or something like that. Or perhaps that's part of the 'suit' featurette?

Never go out with anyone who thinks Fellini is a type of cheese

Same here but I'm going to give this one a rental via Netflix. And if i enjoy it alot, I'll just buy the Blu at a reasonable price to add to my currently single title BD collection.
The cover looks damn cool.

Re: Paramount Press Release: Iron Man (DVD/Blu-ray)

I just had a wonderfully evil thought. For the third movie in this franchise, they could hire Joel Schumaker to direct, have Pepper Potts as Iron Man's sidekick, Iron Maiden, and put nipples on the armor. Gold mine, baby!

BTW, I am definitely buying this. This film plays the pre-established comic book movie 'notes' pitch perfect. It doesn't take the genre new places like The Dark Knight, but it is wonderful entertainment.

Me three. And all my buddies say this one, while not quite up to TDK's bar, is still REALLY good!

There's Jessie the yodeling cowgirl. Bullseye, he's Woody's horse. Pete the old prospector. And, Woody, the man himself. Of course, it's time for Woody's RoundUp. He's the very best! He's the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the wild, wild west!
