FADE IN:
Our first thought: DR. DOOM? But it's not moving. A
welder's torch sparks into frame in the hands of a sculptor
on scaffolding. This is art, an epic 20 foot statue going up
of a business mogul (VICTOR VON DOOM) in whose generously

is chiseled, angular, perfect (too perfect). Past sparks, we
MOVE down to pick up...
EXT. STREET/VON DOOM INDUSTRIES TOWER - DAY
REED RICHARDS and BEN GRIMM head toward the soaring glass-box

They reach three stern RECEPTIONISTS.
REED:

FEMALE RECEPTIONIST
Executive elevator, top floor.
BEN:

They head for the elevator. Reed carries a small, black box.
As they enter the elevator, steel doors shut and we CUT TO --
INT. VON DOOM INDUSTRIES TOWER - OFFICE - DAY
