Midnight Club: Los Angeles Revs Up The Audi R8

We already showed you the debut trailer for October’s upcoming Midnight Club: Los Angeles (360, PS3; out October 7), and now Rockstar has sent over its latest clip, featuring our favorite car—the Audi R8.

Yep, Iron Man’s car is in MCLA, which is quickly shaping up to be the must-have racing title for fall. Unless you got $100K and some serious Audi connections, this will likely be your only chance to whip the R8. Live vicariously through the new MCLA trailer below…

Justin Theroux Is The Guy Behind Iron Man 2

After dragging their feet on locking down Jon Favreau, Marvel is picking up the pace in hopes of getting their Iron Man sequel into theaters in the spring of 2010. They just announced that they’ve tapped actor Justin Theroux to write the script—and while we’re sure they have their reasons, it strikes us as an odd choice.

Like all blockbusters, this one’s sure to be re-re-re-written along the way,but still—Justin’s only writing credit is next month’s Tropic Thunder, and he shares that with Ben Stiller and Idiocracy writer Etan Coen. Whatever it was they saw in Mr. Theroux, he’s certainly had some memorable movie scenes throughout his 12 year career. Check out some of his best on screen moments below.

Iron Man Meets Nick Fury In Bonus Clip

In case you high-talied it out of the theater last Friday after watching Iron Man, you missed the introduction of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. You couldn’t ask for a better setup. Through the course of the film, a puny government agent gave clues to his parent company, Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division which actually stands for S.H.I.E.L.D.—the counter-terrorism group which Fury heads up. Only thing is, no one really picked up on that until he decided to shorten the long-form name to S.H.I.E.L.D.

As most comic fans would know, Nick Fury was drawn as Jackson for the Ultimates series, kind of like a remix of the Avengers. Now that Iron Man hit the big-screen, the sequel is set to follow their story, featuring of course, Nick Fury. Watch the teaser clip after the jump.

Jon Favreau Tours Iron Man’s Crib

Tony Stark is a rich bastard, so it’s only right that his house is something straight outta MTV’s Cribs. In a new video, Iron Man director Jon Favreau takes a camera crew inside the different sets that make up Stark Manor for a little tour. Sadly, many of the amenities (including that wall-sized TV) were computer generated, but it’s interesting seeing how they pull it all together to seem like a cohesive building. Watch the tour after the jump.

Poppin’ Tags In The Iron Man Video Game

Ghost would be jealous—Tony Stark has enough suits in the new Iron Man video game to outfit the entire Wu. The game (Sega—all consoles) drops the same day as the film: Friday, May 2. Consider our calendar doubly marked.

The New Iron Man Video Game At Least Looks Good

The main problem with licensed games? They generally fall somewhere between Uwe Boll flicks and shaving your head with a cheese grater in their level of enjoyment. We can’t speak for the game play of the new Iron Man title. But, after eyeballing the new screenshots Sega put out today, we can at least can say that it looks good. More pics after the jump.
