Plus details on blue ray, dvd release of the film:
Iron Man is hitting DVD and Blu-ray on September 30th, and now Paramount Home Entertainment has provided us with the full details and cover:
Delivering non-stop action and excitement from a Super Hero who boasts not only unique powers, but also irresistible charm, penetrating intelligence and a wry wit, Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures' worldwide box office sensation IRON MAN soars onto DVD and Blu-ray on September 30, 2008. Kicking off the fourth quarter, Paramount Home Entertainment presents spectacular Ultimate Edition two-disc sets on both DVD and Blu-ray, as well as in a single-disc DVD. IRON MAN thrilled both critics and audiences around the world with its captivating story and stunning visual effects. Called "spectacular" (Rolling Stone) and "a thrill-a-minute blockbuster" ("Reel Talk"), the film features an all-star cast including Academy AwardŽ nominees Robert Downey Jr. (Zodiac, Chaplin), Jeff Bridges (The Contender) and Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow) and OscarŽ winner Gwyneth Paltrow (Shakespeare In Love) and was directed by Jon Favreau (Elf).
Earning over $315 million in the domestic box office to date, IRON MAN lifts off with high-speed, high-flying action when jet-setting industrialist Tony Stark survives an unexpected attack in enemy territory and escapes by building a high-tech robotic suit of armor. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man. Straight from the pages of the legendary comic book, IRON MAN is a hero who is built -- not born -- to be unlike any other!
The IRON MAN Ultimate Edition two-disc sets are super-charged with hours of explosive bonus features that take viewers inside the suit of self-made Super Hero Tony Stark and his invincible alter ego. The sets offer the ultimate IRON MAN experience with extensive explorations of the origins of the character in a six-part featurette, as well as a seven-part in-depth look at the making of the film, a revealing documentary on the stellar visual effects, Robert Downey Jr.'s original screen test, deleted and extended scenes, a photo gallery of concept art and behind-the-scenes images on the set and more.

Iron Man 2 was announced pretty much the minute Iron Man made its first million, and all summer we've been hearing news about release dates, screenwriters, and stars all set to return. And now Jon Favreau reports that they're finally-- finally!-- getting down to work.
"We're working on it now," he told The Los Angeles Times, "which hasn't been officially announced. It will be released in 2010." I'm not sure what he means by "officially announced," given that there's been reporting about the sequel all summer, but hey! They're working on it! Presumably this means Favreau and Justin Theroux are hammering out a script together, since I'm pretty sure they haven't gotten to the point of production yet. But with a release date of 2010, they'd really better get crackin'. If we don't see casting announcements within the next few weeks, it's time to get the fans harassing Favreau again.
Was anyone else dissapointed that the iron man song only came at the credits? I was waiting for it the whole movie, but never got it till the end, and it wasn't even Ozzie.
I thought this was a great, if not the best movie I've seen. And I've seen the Dark Knight. People are saying dark knight is the best superhero movie but I actually liked Iron Man better than the Dark Knight.
