Iron Man is getting a rewrite, and New Line Cinema is paying X-Men
writer David Hayter seven-figures to do it. Avi Arad's Marvel Studios and Don
Murphy's Angry Films are producing.
Iron Man is a Marvel comic character who made his debut in 1962. His true identity is that of billionaire inventor Tony Stark, whose work in corporate espionage and international terrorism leads to an accident that forces him to go on life support in the form of high-tech body armor.
The first draft of the feature, which New Line intends as a 2005 tent pole, was written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, creators of the WB's Smallville. Hayter was brought in after writing X2, The Scorpion King and an adaptation of DC Comics' The Watchmen for Universal.
