FANTASTIC FOUR MOVIE UPDATE
The Fantastic Four trailer reaches theaters on Friday -- attached only with Elektra -- but a short segment of the trailer was presented Thursday on MTV's Total Request Live.
The segment highlighted all four of the members' powers, and even showed Sue Storm in battle with Doctor Doom in his headquarters, using her force field.
The trailer will be online on Monday with the launch of the film's official site.

RED SONJA COLLECTIBLES
Dynamic Forces announced a deal that includes the production of limited edition and collectible merchandise featuring Red Sonja.
Perhaps best known from the Marvel comic book series (running off and on from 1979 until 1986), the character first appeared in comics in Conan the Barbarian #23.
"We have big plans for Sonja in 2005," said Nick Barrucci, President of Dynamic Forces. "When Sonja first appeared in Conan #23, it was a great and classic issue, and one which Sonja really shined. We're going to take the same strength of character to place Sonja back on top in all categories! We feel very lucky, as we not only get to draw upon Red Sonja's solo comics, but the entire history of her comics to create cool collectibles. This is a great follow up in addition to the Conan license that we acquired and announced on Monday!"
The license allows for Dynamic Forces to produce trading cards, lithographs, giclees, acetate lithos, wall scrolls, limited edition resin items -- including statues, busts, bookends, snowglobes -- featuring images and characters from both the film and classic comics.
