Recap: A Night With Iron Man
Tampa Bay came together to celebrate Comic Book Legend Bob Layton with a free screening of Iron Man. Before the film, Bob met adoring fans and signed several memorabilia. The 14-year-old feature film held up its impact to a live audience as both its comedic and most triumphant moments were met with collective reactions from the crowd.
When the film ended, Bob was joined by Iron Man screenwriter Hawk Ostby for a lively Q&A hour, moderated by film commissioner Tyler Martinolich, and answering questions from the audience. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this night epic! Stay tuned for our next Film Tampa Bay Presents.
