In A Stunning Twist, Shane Black Writing ‘Iron Man 3′

When it was announced that Drew Pearce was the screenwriter for the upcoming sequel to Iron Man 2/Burger King commercial Iron Man 3, many were surprised. After all, the film’s director Shane Black, is known mostly as a screenwriter. Well, now it turns out that while Pearce is being brought in to write the screenplay, it’s as a writing partner to Black.

There are a couple different reasons being speculated as to why Black, a proven screenwriter, would need a partner to write a movie he’s directing. One is that Black is a notorious potty-mouth who needs someone like Pearce to help keep it PG-13. Man, I was hoping for an Iron Man movie that features naughty words like h*ck and d*rn. There will probably still be a lot of violence, though. (CinemaBlend)

Guy Ritchie was nice enough to share some exclusive footage from his new film Sherlock Holmes 2 with the good folks at “Entertainment Tonight,” and we were nice enough to hunt it down on the internet and share it with all of you. Sherlock Holmes 2 is the sequel to Ritchie’s 2009 adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s literary classic, starring Robert Downey Jr. as the titular detective Sherlock Holmes, and Jude Law as his right hand man Watson. The first film was fun enough, and boasted some nice set pieces and some of the trademark directorial flair we’ve come to expect from Guy Ritchie. Enjoy the snarky charm, british accents, and, spoiler alert, Robert Downey Jr. in drag! (The Playlist)
