EXCLUSIVE IRON MAN 2 CLUE

Last year's Butt-Numb-A-Thon was heavy on promo reels and extended clips for new movies. This year Harry Knowles - who programs the 24 hour film festival as a birthday celebration - eschewed all of that in favor of just complete movies. One film that did sneak in in the form of a trailer, though, was Iron Man 2.
The new Iron Man 2 trailer kind of kicks ass. It's mostly made up of footage screened at this year's Comic Con, but that's not a bad thing. After all, that footage includes the awesome moment of Iron Man and War Machine standing side by side, unloading their weapons at unseen enemies - a moment that's in the trailer. I think the newest stuff in the trailer consists of looks at Tony Stark's life post-Iron Man 2, including a semi-tender moment with Pepper Potts and an appearance at a big, glitzy Stark Expo event. But the stuff from Comic Con - including an iconic shot of Whiplash advancing on a fallen Tony Stark, his energy whips crackling - is pretty great on its own.
The point I'm trying to get across, though, is that the new trailer - which God and Paramount willing, should be debuting online soon - is serioiusly badass, and it should ratchet up excitement for Iron Man 2 in a big way. Also possibly getting people excited is this new tie-in ARG (alternate reality game) that began last week on Coming Soon. Now we have the latest clue for you. What does it all mean? I don't know - I'm hoping you guys can figure it out in the message board thread right here.

Burnt newspaper = fire.
ergo Stark mansion will burn down like at the end of Batman Begins.
The mutilated remains of his father (whom he murdered for inheritance) will be discovered.

Secret...stark...confession...last clipping has the shape of africa...could the confession be that he's found a stark weapons armament in Africa, wakanda, a way to hype up the LONG talked about black panther movie as well since they are going forward with the avengers. my big question is in the 2nd viral photo shows a guy kind of walking on air or a statue...what's up with that big rock in front of his head, i'm anxious to see what new clues come from the viral marketing
