| Iron Man (2008) storyboards by Doug Brode |
When they were filming the blockbuster movie Iron Man they focused on the story and planning the action. So, the script wasn't done when they began filming. "They had no script, man... They had an outline." Jeff Bridges, who played Obadiah Stane, told In Contention, "We would show up for big scenes every day and we wouldn't know what we were going to say. We would have to go into our trailer and work on this scene and call up writers on the phone, 'You got any ideas?' Meanwhile the crew is tapping their foot on the stage waiting for us to come on."
Lots of scenes probably ended up on the cutting room floor. One scene that was cut was a longer version of the surgery scene to implant the arc reactor in Tony Stark's (Robert Downey, Jr) chest. In the movie it was a brief over-the-shoulder shot. But, in this storyboard by Doug Brode, it's a lot more intense.
Brode is a professional concept and storyboard artist who's worked on major films like Looper (2012), Planet of the Apes (2001) and Van Helsing (2004).

If you've seen Iron Man do you think the surgery scene should have been more intense? What do you think of the storyboards?
