I don’t know about you, but I’m excited to see the new film Iron Man, which opens nationwide tomorrow. It features an all-star cast that includes Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard, and Jeff Bridges, and is directed by Jon Favreau. Iron Man, which has already opened in a few other countries, currently boasts an 8.3 average user rating on IMDb.com (after 740+ votes) and has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics. You better believe I’ll be going to see it in the theater!
As I was checking for some more info on the film, I came across a sweepstakes tie-in that looks incredibly cool. It’s called Become Tony Stark for a Weekend, and will give one lucky winner a chance to experience L.A. like billionaire Tony Stark would. The prize package includes:
- First class airfare from anywhere in the 48 contiguous states to Los Angeles
- 3 nights at the Beverly Hills Hotel
- A helicopter tour of L.A.
- $1,000 to spend on Rodeo Drive
- Dinner and spa treatments
I can’t think of another movie promo that included a prize package worth this much, so I think you’ll agree that this is pretty amazing!
What do you have to do to enter? It’s easy. Simply visit the Official Contest Page, verify that you’re 18 or older, and submit a valid email address as well as your home phone number. The sweepstakes is sponsored by MTV, and they guarantee that they won’t use your info for anything other than to notify you if you win, so there’s nothing to worry about on that front.
Anyway, check out this quick video clip about the Become Tony Stark for a Weekend sweepstakes, and enter by May 12, 2008 for your chance to win!

RDJr looks amazing as Tony the trailers! Just entered the contest…I am so ready to take a free luxury vacation in LA. Last time I went to California I sat in the middle seat of coach- the first class flight was reason enough for me to enter
I agree about Robert Downey Jr., and from the reviews I’ve read, he is SUPERB in this role.
Winning this contest will be the only way I’ll ever get to fly first class, lol
