Tony Stark was the arrogant son of wealthy, weapon manufacturer Howard Stark. Tony cared only about himself, but he would have a change of heart after he was kidnapped by terrorists and gravely injured. Pressured to create a weapon of mass destruction, Stark instead created a suit of armor powerful enough for him to escape. Tony used his vast resources and intellect to make the world a better place as The Invincible Iron Man. Stark's super hero identity led him to become a founding member of the Avengers.
You may have heard that there's a movie called Iron Man 2 that is about to hit theaters. The movie features not only Iron Man but War Machine, Black Widow, Whiplash and Justin Hammer. It was written by Justin Theroux. Justin is a long time actor and has recently appeared on a few episodes of television's Parks and Recreation as Justin Anderson. Justin also was the co-writer for 2008's Tropic Thunder.
Last Friday I got the opportunity to talk to Justin on the phone about Iron Man 2 and what it was like being the writer and being on set with the cast and crew. Rather than transcribe the entire interview, I thought you might enjoy actually listening to the audio.
That's kind of funny that the guy that co-wrote Tropic Thunder is also writing Iron Man 2. I wonder if he was responsible for that one line in Tropic Thunder. You know which one I'm talking about.
