After the Oscars this Sunday, you'll know the answer to the burning question: who really won the Cameron/Bigelow divorce, and - hopefully - you'll be ready to stop looking back at critically favored movies of 2009 and look forward into the blockbuster season of 2010.
Iron Man 2 is just around the corner, so despair not! Yeah, there might have been slim pickins in the multi-plex since we kicked off the new decade; yeah, if you didn't want to visit Shutter Island or attempt to make it into someones pants by sitting through Valentine's Day, there hasn't been much for you outside of repeat trips to Pandora. But can we all remember how much fun we had with Iron Man? In those pre-Dark Knight days when "add grit, mix with liberal Nolan" wasn't the solution to a fledgling superhero franchise?
Jon Favreau brought the correct tone and unified vision to the first Iron Man and Robert Downey Jr brought the character so charming that I'd be willing to watch Tony Stark discuss Stark Industries' taxes with their panel of lawyers. Here's hoping they can do it again without getting bogged down with Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson and Don Cheadle as War Machine.
We've already seen trailer 1, we've already heard the Rourke accent and seen the CG whips. An AC/DC video showed us more footage of the dancing Iron Girls and a clip from France showed us Robert Downey Jr speaking French without mutilating it (seemingly -but what do I know?). What's the next step of hype?
According to this press release I have, you can find out by tuning into Jimmy Kimmel Live after the Oscars and your local news:
ROBERT DOWNEY JR. TO APPEAR ON "JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE: AFTER THE ACADEMY AWARDS(R), ALONG WITH A MUSICAL PERFORMANCE FROM GRAMMY(R) AWARD WINNER KEITH URBAN
Host Jimmy Kimmel welcomes two-time Academy Award(R)-nominated Robert Downey Jr. and a musical performance by Grammy Award(R) winner Keith Urban to the fifth consecutive "Jimmy Kimmel Live: After the Academy Awards", SUNDAY, MARCH 7, immediately following the late local news (12:05-1:05 a.m., ET, approx). Downey will introduce the world premiere of the new "Iron Man 2" trailer only moments before Urban performs his new hit single, "Til Summer Comes Around," from his 2009 album, "Defying Gravity."
On a historic night where Jimmy Kimmel has previously debuted such pieces as "I'm F***ing Ben Affleck" video and Mel Gibson's "The Colonel," tune in to see another celebrity-filled surprise this year featuring special appearances from such notables as Matthew McConaughey, Rob Lowe, Sting, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and many more.
