Fantastic Four Being Rebooted

[Hermiod]

Fox and Disney didn't waste any time.

Supposedly a Silver Surfer film "remains a priority project" as well.

 

[TheBrew]

I hope that they keep Evans and Chiklis.

 

[Agenda]

Yeah, Akiva Goldsman's past credits just fill me with unbridled confidence. I mean, what a visionary.

 

[Hermiod]

I may be the only one who though the F4 films were okay. They got the tone of the Fantastic Four just right. You can't make a dark and depressing F4 movie or a violent one.

 

[Red Ranger]

Why a reboot? While I didn't care for the first movie, there were flashes of potential, which were realized in the second flick. -- RR

 

[captcalhoun]

i liked them.

mind you, i liked Elektra, so make of that what you will...

Some of the best issues of FF were darker.

Hey! That's racial profiling!

Certainly, but generally they like being superheroes and the public loves them. They're a perfect choice for a more family orientated comic book movie.

While the FF movies are a bit more "comic" in tone, certainly the plot for FF2 was pretty dark -- the destruction of Earth by a giant creature ain't too happy! But they did it with a good flourish, and I liked how they made it Sue Storm who convinces the Surfer to help Earth instead of Alicia Masters. -- RR

The writer of Schumacher's "Batman and Robin"!

I wouldn't say that's any more dark than some of the other family films over the years. The original Star Wars trilogy all got U certificates in the UK, after all.

You aren't alone...though you may get shouted down by the Haters...

Because....just because, apparently.

Perfect choice and perfectly presented by the most recent cast...

 

[Shazam!]

The recent Fantastic Four movies were screaming piles of shit.

The recent Fantastic Four movies were screaming piles of shit.

In your opinion...

 

[Shazam!]

No, they actually were.

 

[darkwing_duck1]

No, they actually were.

In your opinion...one not shared by enough people that they made significant box office, just not Iron Man numbers, and a hell of a lot better than more than a few Marvel films that get 1/10 the hate.

[Anwar]

Brad Bird is wanting to do live-action nowadays right? Get HIM to do the FF movie.

 

[Starbreaker]

Are they rebooting Batman too? I heard that one was old and busted.

because popularity is directly proportional to quality!
