A number of new exclusives have popped up on the Web concerning the FANTASTIC FOUR movie, and we need to fill you in on what's been happening.

First up, Hollywood North Report has landed the best spy photo yet of Michael Chiklis as The Thing, snapped on the street during last week's filming at the faux Kirby Gallery location. The image confirms our earlier report from last week that the orange skin of the character appears to look more lumpy and less rock-like, similar to the way The Thing looked in the early issues of the FF comic book. There is also a rumor that this look may be just one stage of the The Thing's continuing transformation that we'll see in the movie.

Next is today's report from Comic Book Resources that IDs actress Kerry Washington (SHE HATE ME, THE HUMAN STAIN) as playing Alicia Masters, the blind sculptress that befriends The Thing and later becomes his girlfriend. Washington can actually be seen standing alongside Chiklis in his Thing costume in HNR's spy photo.

Finally, Superhero Hype reports that the FF production will film inside Vancouver's General Motors Place stadium this coming Wednesday, September 22. Extras are needed for the occasion and no one seems to know what the purpose of the scene is.
