I know what you’re thinking. What kind of an idiot hires actors in tactical gear to walk in on movie patrons in a dark theater? Apparently, that question actually has an answer, which is pretty disturbing. According to MSN News, under the headline “Iron Man 3 stunt goes wrong” there is an article about a Jefferson City, Mo. theater manager who thought marking the premier of the major super hero film with appearances by SHIELD agents dressed in such a manner would be a bit hit for movie goers. Granted Tony Stark's alter ego Iron Man was also there, but SHIELD agents?
Apparently the manager in question never heard of the Aurora, Colorado shootings last year at the premier of “The Dark Knight Rises” that killed 12 people and injured 58 others, because if he had he would have decided that customers at the Goodrich Capital 8 Theaters would probably not enjoy someone walking around in all black with fake guns.
Softpedia is reporting that Bob Wilkins, the manager who made the bad judgment call, has apologized for causing folks a bit of distress. Hey someone dressed up as Iron Man is a great idea, but taking it to the next level having SHIELD agents (really are they necessary for any type of promotion?) running around the theater was a bad call. It is nice to see he gets the error in judgment, and hopefully he bounces those ideas off of others before deciding to make another one.
