Special effects fans will be happy to hear that Industrial Light & Magic will be behind the curtain of "Iron Man."  Additionally, sister company Skywalker Sound will be handling the sound design and mixing.  Deluce's DI business Efilm will also be getting into the act with the color timing and mastering.

“This is ... a great script, with new and challenging work, which is just the way we like it here,” said Visual Effects Supervisor Ben Snow.

Kevin Feige, of Production, Marvel Studios, said, "We are thrilled to partner with Industrial Light & Magic on Iron Man. Their resume speaks for itself, and the visual effects expertise they bring to this project fit perfectly with the high-tech look and feel of this film. Through this collaborative effort, we look forward to providing movie-goers the high-action, visually compelling entertainment they expect from the Marvel brand."

Marvel’s SVP of Post Production, Charlie Davis added, “The post production process on a movie of this scope is always very complex and having ILM create the Visual effects, Skywalker Sound design and mix the sound, and E-film digital color time the picture all in close proximity up in San Francisco is the best of all worlds come together.”
