THE WAR MACHINE
BY
ROBERT GARLEN
Mid-Flight during a trip to Japan for school, the U.S. President's son's plane is shot down and the boy escaped. Soon revealed to be from the Ten Rings, Vietnamese General Wong Chu, Active Leader of the TEN RINGS. He sends a tape to the President planning to make an example.
Out of fear for his Son's Life, the President calls Rhodey in to go in, get the boy and murder all the assholes that took his son. This mission causes Rhodey to feel uneasy, after losing his father to Vietnamese Terrorist (which will be revealed as the TEN RINGS), but takes the mission after learning that it's the Ten Rings, wanting to get back at them for what they've done to Tony and to the Country. Tony advises Rhodey to keep an eye out on there. Rhodey is then blasted into Vietnam, Unable to track the Boy or the bases Location he is stuck in Vietnam with an American Air Force base close by for him to set up shop. The head of the Base is Rhodey's First Ex-Wife Rae LaCoste(who acts as his eyes and ears when in the field.)
While we explore Rhodey's inner reasons for being War Machine, we learn that the Ten Rings have Broke Justin Hammer, through experiments to be mention will be smarter than Tony, out of S.H.I.E.L.D. so that he can use their resources and make an army of Iron Soldiers. He builds one Armor, and waits for War Machine to be killed before committing to others, the Armor Hammer builds turns him into TITANIUM MAN or as he puts it THE HAMMER.
With the odds against him Rhodey must go through the Vietnamese jungle facing Justin Hammer and the Ten Rings and figure out what they're plan is, so he can save the President's son.
(Ultimately the TEN RINGS Win, they're plan is to gather all ten rings and get them to an ancient temple, we learn that the rings are actually universal keys that unlock a bigger threat.)
WAR MACHINE FAN CAST:
Don Cheadle & Robert Downey Jr. as WAR MACHINE/JAMES RHODES & IRON MAN/TONY STARK: These two have fantastic chemistry and work well together, Don Cheadle has the perfect acting ability and design for a Leading Man and would fit well as War Machine in his own film.
Ian Anthony Dale as WONG CHU
For this role you need molevelance, I needed a strong villain that would tie into Iron Man 3, and sinec everyone wants the Mandarin and he needs appropriate set-up i figured i'd use War Machine to tell an emotional tale and set up the Mandarin, and searching for an appropriate villain i chose Wong Chu Tony Stark's original capture back in Vietnam so i feel this work best for service. Ian Anthony Dale is a really decent actor and with some formal bootcamp training i think he could do well to play a Evil Vietnamese Militaristic Leader.
Sam Rockwell as JUSTIN HAMMER, Wanted to see Hammer in action and his cell in S.H.I.E.L.D. would be a good way to carry on with where he went From IRON MAN 2 and to bring him into action, his cell mate would be Ezekial Stane as a throwback to Iron Man 1. Anyway Rockwell perfect for the role.
Marion Cotillard as RAE LACOSTE
She's a great actress and i feel to add to the idea of a strong independent woman in Rae, she adds the ability to give comic and romantic interest to the film while serving the story assisting Rhodey in the field.
Samuel L. Jackson as NICK FURY, Love the actor, he in this role is fantastic, and I think I'll do an editorial covering the Issue some people have with Sam. Anyway he fits better than the original and helps continue the story and connect it to Avengers.
