I don't know what everyone is griping about. I think Cheadle's a great actor. Plus it barely counts as a supporting role so it's not like the whole movie is focus on his character for the viewers to really take notice in the small change. I'm sure he'll handle the role just fine. I'm more excited about seeing Iron Man again.

Tim Robbins Cast?

Tim Robbins will play Tony Stark's father Howard in the Iron Man sequel, according to Latino Review.

The Shawshank Redemption star will reportedly appear in flashback sequences that tie in with forthcoming Marvel films The Avengers and Captain America.

In the comic books, Howard Stark is the founder of Stark Industries. After his death, his son Tony inherits the company before taking on the guise of Iron Man.

Director Jon Favreau and leading man Robert Downey Jr. will return for the sequel.

Mickey Rourke is "Crimson Dynamo"

Marvel has just announced today that Mickey Rourke is in talks to join Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2! Rourke is in discussions to play a villain described as Tony Stark's Russian alter ego, a heavily tattooed bruiser who is in the arms trade and battles Iron Man in his own nuclear-powered armored suit. While it hasn't been confirmed, considering Marvel and Paramount are keeping the script (which is still being written) under lock and key, speculation is that the villain is Crimson Dynamo. No other details were revealed about the highly anticipated sequel at this time. How about that for a casting announcement?!

This is the second major casting news for Rourke today, following confirmation that he also joined Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables. This is easily the greatest acting comeback we've seen in years. As for the villain, the original Crimson Dynamo first appeared in Tales of Suspense #46 in 1963. There have been 12 various Crimson Dynamo incantations over the years, so it's likely this one is being written specifically for the cinematic Iron Man universe. While we were already very excited about Iron Man 2, this news makes it even more highly anticipated, if possible. Paramount will debut Iron Man 2 on May 7th, 2010.

HOLY CRAP!

Rockwell will play a British villain named Justin Hammer, a multibillionaire businessman and a rival of industrialist of Tony Stark.

Also expect Whiplash to be cast soon as well, infact Variety are reporting that Rourke will play Whiplash and not Crimson...crazy casting day!

Marvel Studios is really starting to get on my nerves, check this out.

I saw ['Iron Man' and 'Iron Man 2' director] Jon Favreau at the Scream Awards and we had a conversation. He said, ?I hope things are working out for you because we?re writing stuff for you.? Then all of a sudden last week I talked to my agents and manager and things aren?t really working that well.

There was a huge kind of negotiation that broke down. I don?t know. Maybe I won?t be Nick Fury. Maybe somebody else will be Nick Fury or maybe Nick Fury won?t be in it. There seems to be an economic crisis in the Marvel Comics world so [they're saying to me], ?We?re not making that deal.?

If they are too cheap to cast Jackson as Nick Fury I'm going to be really ****ed off. Replacing War Machine is one thing, Nick Fury, wtf! Not only does he look picture perfect for the role, much like Downey, but if history has taught us anything, Downey couldn't be better suited and same goes for Samuel. Besides look at how much money the last one made.

Recasting Samuel L. Jackson, I think, would be a huge mistake. I've been looking forward to Iron Man 2 since I heard about it, but right now, I'm not feeling very confident in this movie. Marvel has been making a lot of questionable decisions lately.

FYI - Jackson gave his consent for Nick Fury to be re-designed in his likeness.....the original Nick Fury was Caucasian, the Iron Man movie version of Nick Fury portrays the Nick Fury re-design from The Ultimates #1 (March 2002). If they stuck to the original Nick Fury, Jackson would have no business portraying Nick Fury.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
