As I understand it, sometime last year, a paparazzo snuck onto the set of IRON MAN and took some shots of the titular hero in armor, leaking the grainy pictures to the internet before director Jon Faverau and company had a chance to officially release the awesome promo shots that would eventually make us piss our pants regardless.
Faverau, however, is not without a sense of humor, as we all know. And at the end of IRON MAN, when Tony was reading the newspaper with the headline WHO IS IRON MAN?, one can slightly make out that the newspaper's (grainy) photograph looks rather familiar. To those in the know. It was well-played indeed, and all in good spirits.
Well, it turns out the paparazzo was none too pleased, and is suing Paramount for their use of his pictures.
I shouldn't be surprised that a paparazzo should have such unmitigated nerve. But wow.
Here, to wash the taste of that out of your mouth, I give you Ninja Cat:
Remember the weeping angels from DOCTOR WHO? It's like that. In cat form.
