VIDEO: Cartastic Iron Man movie trailer now online
Click above to view Iron Man official trailer
We get very fidgetity if there's not an auto-related movie, TV show or spoken word poetry slam album to talk about here on Autoblog. So while the upcoming superhero flick Iron Man does not have a plot that revolves around our four-wheeled friends, it certainly does feature a good number of them and the movie enjoys some nice Audi R8 product placement, as well. The official trailer for Iron Man has just been released; it's the one you'll be seeing in theaters while waiting for Spiderwick Chronicles to start. The story focuses on Robert Downey, Jr.'s character Tony Stark, the multi-billionaire weapons contractor for the U.S. government who builds an exo-skeleton out of iron and opens a few cans of Grade A whoop ass on the baddies. He chooses to paint the iron suit in the appropriate hue of Hot Rod Red, though a Shelby Cobra gets destroyed in the prototype testing process. See? Plenty of car stuff there to talk about, so expect another eight posts on Iron Man before midnight.

Whoa, kick-ass soundtrack.
And I'm sure it wasn't a real Cobra; the replicas are far more plentiful.

Great cars. Perfect actor for the role. Director who seems to 'get it.' I admit I am really looking forward to this.

This movie is going to be bad ass. As for the main actor being perfect, I couldn't agree more. Alcoholic meeting drugoholic lol.

Wow, nice. This trailer sells the movie for me, gives me reason to think it won't suck. Can't wait.

From the earlier trailers I've seen I was hoping this would touch on the Mandarin plotline but I see that they have made some changes a bit. This looks pretty good. Is that Gwyneth Platrow playing the red head?

Knight rider is a joke. B actors at best and C- writing.
