This past holiday weekend, I was riding in the car of one Mr. Ghostfreehood, listening to The Forcecast.  He's experiencing a resurgence in his Star Wars fandom, so he's devouring all that he can.

What was of note, however, was how the team who is doing the sound work on the new Clone Wars toon crapped all over the Tartakovsky version from 2003, saying it was no longer “canon”.  I was somewhat outraged, given that it was honestly the best thing to come of the prequels.

This of course made me wonder…what is Genndy up to?

Last we heard, he was working on a (now-scrapped) sequel to The Dark Crystal.

A bit of searching around though, and I stumbled upon this great interview from AICN with Jon Faverau, discussing the sequel to IRON MAN.

Guess who Faverau picked up as storyboard artist, just because of his amazing action sequences?

That’s right, Genndy’s maping out the future of ol' Shellhead.

One waddle’s loss is another’s gain, I guess.

Consider me double-pumped for IRON MAN II. And hey, read the article. It’s pretty damn good.
