    Yes. The iPad app is scheduled for release this summer to coincide with the film's 25th anniversary. We're in the home stretch! Stay tuned.

    Kevin - I'm sorry for any confusion. We have fulfilled all of the rewards except for the digital download of the audio file. We are still working on this. We actually just re-recorded Matthew reading over an hour of the book last week that now needs to be edited into the final audio file. I promise we will post an update with a link to download the audio file as soon as it's done. Thank you for your patience and support!

    William - I can understand your frustration. We're working as fast as we can. We unfortunately lost our main sound person earlier this year and have been scrambling to pick up the pieces and keep things moving without him. All I can say is that I'm sorry. Creative and technical projects take time and sometimes hit snags, but I'm very proud of the team we have working on this project.

    Hi, William - I was just about to post an update about this. We're still working on the audio. It's taking much longer than I expected. The audio for chapter two alone is nearly 2 hours long. We finished recording Matthew and are about two thirds done with the very slow process of editing the dialogue. When we're done editing, we may need to go back and re-record a few lines. I apologize for the delay. We'll be posting the audio file to download as soon as it's finished. Thanks for your patience and support! - Adam

    I'm glad you like your reward! Thanks again for your support! We're hoping to complete the app in time for Christmas, but several factors could force us to release early next year - just in time for the 25th anniversary of Full Metal Jacket's theatrical release!
