Earlier tonight, the viral ad campaign that has been going on for Iron Man 2 for the past week culminated in a ticking timer on www.starksecretconfessionrevealed.com. And what was waiting on the other side of the clock? The new trailer for Iron Man 2.
The trailer’s now up at Apple in full HD glory, but you can also check it out below the jump. The trailer teases a lot of what we can expect from the new film — namely, plenty of high tech battlin’. Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash makes a significant and splashy debut, while Don Cheadle’s War Machine also squeezes in his hero shot. All in all, a fairly epic trailer. But it’s no fun listening to me talk about it, hit the jump to see it for yourself!

Keira Knightley has been attached to a remake of My Fair Lady for some time now, but it looks like the wheels are finally in motion for the redo of the Audrey Hepburn classic. After Knightley auditioned for the part some three years ago, the Telegraph is now reporting that she has won the role after Scarlett Johansson also became a strong contender to play Eliza Doolittle.
And not only has the lead finally been locked down, but the project has a director now as well — Joe Wright. Knightley’s director in Pride & Prejudice and Atonement, Wright looks to bounce back from his last outing, the somewhat forgettable The Soloist. If you’ll recall, Wright was most recently attached to direct Cate Blanchett in Indian Summer, about the last days of British colonial rule in India centered around the romantic relationship that developed between Lady Edwina Mountbatten and Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. Financing problems and creative issues have shelved the project indefinitely, though Wright and Blanchett will remain attached.
