We're getting more than one? Now I'm getting scared - it's almost too good to be true!

Then there should be All The Rage. Or vice versa. Hopefully, they won't be as long in development as the first RJ film. Ken V.

RJ lunchboxes and Rooftop Rakosh playsets featuring Jack with the KungFu grip.... It's NOT a doll, its an Action Figure!!!!!

I've seen 'multi-picture deal' kind of things where the remaining pictures were just options for future movies that don't get made because of non-spectacular box office for the first. Serenity is a good recent example, and one that I think was badly marketed. I think part of the problem with franchise characters breaking into movies has been a real lack of promoting the origins of the franchise. It's way easier to get people excited about a movie prospect if they have an inkling of why this movie is different from the half-dozen released last weekend. I'm sure we here are infecting everyone we know with our enthusiasm (and with a love of Jack and FPW in general). My biggest worry is that your average movie-goer will look at the preview and think generic action/horror movie without understanding that it ISN'T your standard fare monster flick. I know you've said Beacon is committed. I really hope they prove to be stand up on that. I just really wish there were some additional media (TV, graphic novels) to introduce Jack to a wider audience prior to the film's release, since really so few people seem to read these days for pleasure.
