Movie studios have fallen in love with the superhero genre, with two or three films coming out each year. Most of these films are of the live action variety, but “The Incredibles” stands out as the only animated superhero movie that may be as good as the live action ones. Released in 2004, the film became an international box office sensation, making more than $70 million on its opening weekend alone on its way to hauling a total of over $631 million. Since then, people have been asking for a sequel, but it is only now, nearly a decade later, that a sequel seems to be a reality.

When a movie makes over half a billion dollars in ticket sales, the studio responsible for the film will almost assuredly give the green light for a sequel. In the case of “The Incredibles,” however, the studio was Pixar, which has historically been very slow to release sequels. A good example is the recently announced “Finding Dory,” the long-awaited sequel to “Finding Nemo,” which was released all the way back in 2003. Pixar has never been in a hurry to put a film out, because the executives in charge value quality over quantity.

In addition to Pixar’s hesitation to immediately start production on a sequel to “The Incredibles,” director Brad Bird was also reticent about returning to the franchise. After working on several highly touted animated films like “Ratatouille” and “The Iron Giant,” he wanted to give live action films a try. He loved the story he told in “The Incredibles” and was very happy with the finished product, but he also expressed frustration at the length of time it took to complete the film. He began preproduction on the film back in 2000, which means it took four years before the film was released in theaters. That is a big chunk of time, especially when a live action film can be completed in less than a year from preproduction to release.

In the years following “The Incredibles,” Bird directed “Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol,” his first non-animated film. It was a huge success and helped make him one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood. Big movie stars came calling, with George Clooney signing up to work with Bird on the upcoming film “Tomorrowland,” which starts filming in the summer of 2013.

What will Bird do after he finishes the long “Tomorrowland” shoot? He may very well be open to finally putting together “The Incredibles 2.” Even though he had expressed hesitation in the past about possibly revisiting the film, he told a reporter back in October 2011 that he had a change of heart about a sequel, saying that he had some ideas but no real story to go with the ideas. He also cautioned that the sequel would not be made until the story was right and had been approved by Pixar.

Flash forward to May 2013, Bird, already in preproduction on “Tomorrowland,” publicly reiterated that he had been thinking about a sequel and wanted to revisit the characters that he loves. He said he had many ideas, and that “if I can get ’em to click all together, I would probably wanna do that.”

This was like music to the ears of fans who have been waiting so long to see another film starring the Parr family. Of course, it isn’t just up to Bird as to whether a sequel gets made or not. Pixar has to be on board and would likely want to focus on finishing “Finding Dory” first before starting work on a different sequel. One issue is whether or not the actors will be willing to come back for another film. Even if all the actors were willing, another issue is their availability. Craig T. Nelson, who starred as family patriarch Bob Parr, is busy making the NBC drama “Parenthood.” Samuel L. Jackson, who voiced Lucius Best, has a long slate of upcoming films, including sequels to “Captain America” and “The Avengers.”

The good news for fans of the film is that Bird has publicly said he is willing to make the film and has been coming up with ideas. Since he had been unwilling to address these questions for so many years, his public announcement is definitely a step in the right direction. Pixar may not have officially ordered a sequel to “The Incredibles,” but there is a good chance it might in the near future.

General Pest Control Solutions

Your home should be a place where you can relax and chill out, offering warmth, safety and comfort. However for thousands of us every year our homes turn into a battle ground as we realise we are sharing our homes with pests that can ultimately make our lives a misery. Common pests found in residential dwellings can range from fleas, bedbugs, termites, ants and dust mites to rodents, birds, snakes and squirrels. They can damage our fabrics and clothes, cause allergies and asthma, expose us to disease and infections, and if not dealt with quickly and efficiently can cost a lot of expense and time.

If you do find you have a pest control problem then you can always call in the professionals, if money isn t a problem or you simply don t have the time to deal with it yourself. A safe and easy option, a professional pest control company will take care of your problem and rid your house of unwanted pests and bugs.

However if you don t want to waste money on a professional service, or simply can t afford it, then there are lots of products on the market that are easy to use yourself and can get the job done just as effectively, ridding your property of undesired pests and minimising the chance of their returning.

Birds can cause all kinds of problems for householders. Pigeon droppings left on window ledges are unsightly as well as acidic and can cause damage to buildings and machinery. Debris left lying around that pigeons use to build their nests can lower the value of your property, as well as causing health risks. Pigeons carry all kinds of bacteria that spread fatal diseases, reasons as to why it is so important to implement suitable control methods. There are plenty of bird control products on the market that offer a green, environmentally-safe and non-toxic solution, ranging from animal sound repellers, high-tech laser technology to ultrasonic bird control devices, repellents, to bird spikes and netting.

Bird spikes are very easy to install and are sharp devices specifically designed to scare away pigeons and other pest birds. They repel birds trying to nest and prevent them from settling on a building, especially its ledges and gutters. Inexpensive to buy, they are light and durable and can be bought in all-polycarbonate plastic or stainless steel.

Any kind of bug setting up home in your home is likely to get out of control as they breed very quickly and can cause a lot of damage. Some pests are not noticeable at first as they like to hide away in crack and crevices, under floorboards and in the deepest, darkest corners of the house. Pests such as ants and

termites

can live there for weeks or months before you realise you have a problem. If allowed to remain they can cause a lot of damage to the structure of your home. Pests which carry diseases or are a health risk to people also need to be dealt with quickly.

Whatever type of pest you have on your property it s important to use residential pest control solutions to eliminate them before they start to cause serious problems. Signs to look out for include finding damaged areas of carpet or upholstery which may be caused by carpet moths or beetles, chewed wiring and food products that have been partly eaten.

Carpets are a popular place for bugs and insects. Carpet beetles can cause significant damage to fabrics such as wool, fur, leather and silk, even cereal products. Carpet moths are just as destructive and can soon eat their way through your carpets and rugs, curtains, and furniture coverings. A flea infestation can spread right through the house before you even realise you have a problem look out for pets constantly scratching and bites on your ankles.
