Iron Man 2 Cast Buffed and Filming

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Rumors

Mickey Rourke recently put on his Whiplash costume in preparation to work on Iron Man 2, and his rippling muscles certainly won’t be alone on the set. Rourke’s costume will show off his tattoos and an electromagnet that’s very similar to the one worn by Tony Stark. With leather and iron braces showing off his buffed-up bod, Rourke will no doubt make a big impression on the big screen.

But he’s not the only actor who will have audiences staring at the screen in wide-eyed wonder. Scarlett Johansson has packed on the muscular pounds for her role as Black Widow and star Robert Downey Jr. is in Iron Man-ready shape for the production.

Don Cheadle (who replaced Terrence Howard) and Gwyneth Paltrow will also be featured in the flick, which is scheduled to hit theaters on May 7, 2010.

Mickey Rourke Gives Profanity-Laden Speech at Spirit Awards

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Awards

Warning: This is the uncensored version.

At yesterday’s 2009 Film Independent Spirit Awards, Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) delivered a speech that could only be heard on a cable channel. Fortunately for everyone watching, the Best Male Lead winner did it on live television.

The comeback kid, probably realizing he’d be limited at the Oscars, let it all hang out. Here’s hoping he still has something in the reserves for the Academy tonight.

You can find the full list of Spirit Award winners here.

Winslet, Rourke Awarded with BAFTAs

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Awards

While it’s looking pretty clear that Slumdog Millionaire will take home the Oscar later this month, the race for Best Actor and Best Actress remains a bit muddy.

At yesterday’s Orange British Academy Film Awards, Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler) and Kate Winslet (The Reader) both took home the top honors for acting. Although this is similar to how they performed at the Golden Globes, neither actor was a winner at the recent SAG Awards. (Sean Penn and Meryl Streep took home the statues that evening.)
