Well just got to Vancouver. It's going down! This film's gonna definitely be bigger than the last. Some serious surprises coming. (Is that how you spell surprise. That first "r" always gets me) Got some shit for the fan boys and still keep the light hearted feel for the kids and families. Hard mix. A lot of people don't get that, but whadayagonnado?!

I apologize to everyone writing, that I'm not able to respond to individual messages. My time is just ridiculously busy with the preparations for the Sequel. But do understand that I read everything. I do mean EVERYTHING. And I always take into consideration what you guys are saying and what you look forward to and what you may not have liked about the first film and what you might want to see improved. Trust me, Doom will be a bad ass and have some stuff closer to the comics in there. And there will be more Johnny and Ben antics and two big surprises that I'm sure everyone has been speculating about. I'll confirm a lot in the coming weeks.

Sorry guys,

I've been going crazy prepping this thing. Just got back from Vancouver, which is of course where we will be filming the movie, and things are shaping up. It's the hard part of the phase where I have to make the ..'s work. Even with 100+ mil, there's never enough money. Looking at the plan for the new Baxter Building interior and it's going to be hot. We're going more high tech and we're giving Reed Richards and the gang more gadgets this time around. The "4" logo will be everywhere as we are used to seeing it. They are a corporation now.

I'm going to use some looks that have been inspired from more recent comics, like in "The Ulimate Exstinction" and a little from the "Ultimate Fan Four" series. I know what you're thinking "Kirby, Kirby, Kirby!" There will be much props given to Kirby throughout the movie.

What I'm really excited about is the Fantasticar. It's coming guys in all it's glory. Wait until you see it. It's going to split in pieces and all that. Johnny and Ben fight over who should fly it. All the fun you expect.

Anyway, I'm jumping off. My kid's bday is today and I gotta set up a jumper and blow up balloons. Can't get in trouble. Sorry I haven't been giving you guys more info on a regular basis. I will. Undersatnd there's always so much secrecy with this stuff but I'm going to continue to share in every way I can. Hopefully I'll be able to show some pictures in the near future. I want to keep you guys close to this process. It's going to be fun.
