The upcoming comic book action flick Iron Man is easily one of my most anticipated films of 2008, so after having nothing to watch but grainy camera footage from Comicon I’m ecstatic to present the first official trailer. Iron Man is directed by comic book fanboy Jon Favreau, and in probably the greatest casting choice ever it stars Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark a billionaire weapons engineer who after being critically injured is forced to create a device to keep him alive, he then goes on to create a battle suit to fight crime.
