Fantastic Four reboot-- Casting, Rumors, Pix, ect;
- Thread starter Turtletrekker
- Start date
Well, many official movie posters these days are done with Photoshop, and they aren't always done well. I saw an Age of Ultron poster that was a ridiculous clutter of mismatched character photos.
I think that the Thing looks great.
Ah crap, are they still making this...?
Reed Richards on that poster looks straight out of high school!
Miles Teller's star has been on the rise though, wonder if that will bode well or not. Might be even better as Peter Parker with JK Simmons yelling at him.
It's already made. It comes out in five months.
Then presumably, they are still making it.
No work of art is ever completed, only abandoned. This one should be abandoned. 
Even Roger Corman's no-budget FF from the early 90's looks better than this.
I agree except for Reed- he looked like a High School student with gray hair added for a school play. Optic Nerve, who also did the makeup effects for Babylon 5 did an excellent version of The Thing.
Corman's version is the only one that even comes close to getting Dr. Doom right. Not a corrupt businessman or a blogger, but the maniacal leader of a small European nation who is gloriously over the top in his villainy.
Corman's FF did well at capturing the feel of the comic-- at least the feel of the comic back in the day-- and was pretty entertaining. They should really release it on DVD. I don't know why they wouldn't.
This Japanese trailer is largely the same as the one we already saw but at or about 1:17 in is a new quick glimpse of the Human Torch and Sue Storm using their powers. At least, so this link says:

Man i'd so like to eat my following words:
This looks like utter, paint by the numbers, crap. As with the previous two they only took the names and general character traits and then did their own thing.
We all know how that turned out.
Now they seem to have gone even further and disregarded the original material even further. What made the FF such a beloved comic was the family dynamic and the great villains chief amongst them Doom.
The superhero comicbook movie resurgence which started with X-Men worked because the people doing them respected the original material because they knew that the audience wanted to see this. Obviously some creative choices upset some fans such as the changed aspects of Wolverine's character (in the movies he's not the accomplished fighter capable and experienced in many styles) but they were minor.
Here it seems we have once again a FF that was assembled by the marketing department to maximise cash potential by appealing to the teenager movie crowd and giving them upstart young actors poised to become the big thing in a few years.
Will this work? I seriously doubt it but i hope they knock it out of the park by having strong performances and an even stronger story/screenplay.
I'm just not confident that they will.

A fair description of most of the Marvel movies.
I'm intrigued to see a superhero movie that isn't designed and doesn't play as a cog in a giant money-printing press.
Do you really think this? Iron Man, Cap, Fury, Thor, Banner, Professor X, Beast, Mystique, Magneto, Wolverine, Spider-Man, JJJ... they all seem like they were cast because they can both look AND act the parts so very very well!
