Robert Downey Jr., presenting a bionic Iron Man arm to an exceedingly well-dressed 7-year-old fan named Alex, who was born with a partially developed right arm. The arm wasn’t built by Tony Stark, but rather by a college student named Albert Manero who makes low-cost 3D-printed bionic limbs for children.

Tim Burton is still planning on making that 'Pinocchio' movie, but before you roll your eyes too hard, at least he's hired a talented writer for the project: Jane Goldman.

Is 'The Judge' the project that will see Jack Nicholson return to the big screen for the first time since 2010's 'How Do You Know'? Director David Dobkin is currently trying to get Nicholson to star as Robert Downey Jr.'s father in the upcoming drama.
