HW: How much is Downey involved in the development of the sequel?
JF: I was at his house yesterday. I was there yesterday and he's getting ready to go do Sherlock Holmes…clearly we met Justin through him. He really thought the world of him from that process and there was a lot of writing going on during that film too. There are things like, 'What do you want to play, Robert? What should we do?' Robert was very collaborative on the set and writing it and making all the choices. Part of my gig is to not just ask him to stand on his mark, but learn to bring enough of his reality into it so that it seems interesting and has more dimension.
HW: Did Dark Knight get you excited about Imax?
JF: I would love to do some Imax stuff. I think that's going to be a game changer. I would love to do some of it on Imax for Imax. It's all a matter of dollars and cents for them. I would also love to do three-d…for this one. I would love to do three-d because just think of the HUD. Just think of that virtual space and what that would be like, the layers and what you could get away with and how much fun it could be.
