The film im writing this on is Iron Man.
It was released on May 2nd 2008, and was nominated for two oscars, won 6 other awards and was nominated for 30 others. The main role for the film is played by Robert Downey jr. and also has many other stars such as Gweneth Paltrow and Terrence Howard.
When Iron Man was first released, it rocketed to $98.6 million on approximately 8,700 screens at 4,105 theaters for a $102.1 million tally including Thursday night previews. The reportedly $140 million-budgeted Marvel Comics adaptation had the second-highest grossing opening weekend ever for a non-sequel behind Spider-Man and the tenth highest overall. In terms of attendance, the start was slightly higher than X2: X-Men United's May 2 debut five years ago, and it soared past Marvel's average opening by over 60 percent.
Paramount Pictures and Marvel Interprises produced Iron Man was a whopping $180,000,000, and almost all of the filming was taking place in and around Los Angeles. Iron Man had grossed $102 million locally and $206 million worldwide over the first weekend it was in cinema (May 2-4, 2008).
Iron Man was directed by Jon Favreau (Who also directed, Elf, 2003, and Zathura: a space adventure, 2005), it was written by Mark Fergus, Hawk Ostby, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway- They had all written the screenplay. Jon Favreau had actually asked for Robert Downey Jr to have the lead role, he said:
"The best and worst moments of Robert's life have been in the public eye. He had to find an inner balance to overcome obstacles that went far beyond his career. That's Tony Stark. Robert brings a depth that goes beyond a comic book character having trouble in high school, or can't get the girl."

When i first saw Iron Man, i was thouroughly impressed. Refering back to the Commercial Commodity task, it got me thinking about the pitch that was shown to the producers, and how well it must have been pitched over.
IN THE MAKING.
