Last month, our review of the Iron Man DVD, focused heavily on the story and whether or not it deserves to reign supreme over this summer’s Hollywood film blockbusters. Bouncing off this, I’d like to take the time to take an in-depth look at the 2-disc DVD extra features.
The making-of for the feature film is nothing short of fantastic. With a 2-hour running time it keeps the viewer entertained at all times with a real following of the film from its beginnings in a small office in the Marvel building to the final day of shooting and beyond into the editing room. There are contributions from all the major players, including Robert Downey Jr., and it makes Jon Favreau look like a master filmmaker which he very much so deserves.

In what can only be described as another shameless way to make cash from the
poor viewing audience USA Today has reported that DC comics are to release a
prequel comic to J.J. Abrams’ fall television show Fringe. Right now nothing is
written or drawn but the prequel is said to hit stands on August 27th in the US only.
The catch is for those who watch the slow later internationally unless an international
publication deal is made a section of the story will be kept from the audience.
A way around that is to include the book in the season boxset if one is ever released.
The below summary is sourced from comingsoon.net and Fox so credit to the writer and the site.
“Joshua Jackson (”Dawson’s Creek”), John Noble (”The Lord of the Rings”) and newcomer
Anna Torv star as an unlikely trio who uncover a deadly mystery involving a series of
unbelievable events and realize they may be a part of a larger, more disturbing pattern
that blurs the line between science fiction and technology”.
