The latest photos and reports from the Cary, North Carolina set of Iron Man 3 not only allude to a potential car race scene, but also offer a look at star Robert Downey Jr, director Shane Black and possibly Jon Favreau. Along with details for filming that'll soon take place in Miami, Florida, the city that North Carolina is only doubling for, one of Tony Stark's rides has been spotted possibly for "the race." Check out the photos and details below!
An anonymous source of On Location Vacation reports, "I work in the building they are filming at on the SAS campus in Cary. Cameras started rolling early this morning in the lobby of the building and as I left work this afternoon they were filming a scene at the entrance of the building. Even a lot of extras were SAS employees. It didn’t seem like there was any action scenes being filmed. Just a lot of people in very nice business suits.
As we all probably know by now, Epic Games will be the “face” of A.I.M. On the other hand, the SAS campus is portraying Stark Industries. The cast (mostly extras) were seen sporting “Stark Industries” name badges on set and between scene. It's [basically] a Christmas party scene at Stark Industries. There was suppose to be a car/race scene filmed along the Cary parkway but I heard that It was cancelled/rescheduled because of rain."
According to Miami Today, the production manager of Miami Beach recently stated, "[The production crew ] will be here for four to six weeks. We hoped they'd stay longer, but once they surveyed the market, they saw there was not sufficient studio space in South Florida. They will primarily do location work here."
