IESB caught up with director Jon Favreau over at the 32nd Annual Saturn Awards held at the Universal Hilton. With the recent announcement that he will be directing the upcoming Marvel project “Iron Man”, Favreau tells the site that they are currently putting John Cater of Mars on hold at Paramount, due to the fact the the studio is more concerned in working on the resurgence of Star Trek franchise.

Favreau talks about his vision of Iron Man. He believes an adaptation should stay true to the original and take into consideration the story that has already been told. "Iron Man is the star of this movie," he tells the site and a major star is not necessarily needed. He wants someone who will be available for sequels and prefers to follow the Bryan Singer model and cast an unknown.
