Fantastic Four reboot-- Casting, Rumors, Pix, ect;

He wouldn't be the first young director to be handed the keys to the kingdom and find out he can't handle it. At least he got further than Troy Duffy or some of the other hot up and comers before him.
Honestly, I didn't like it as much the second time around. It had novelty going for it, but I'm not sure how well it holds up once the novelty fades.
I'm not so sure that's the issue. I've felt all along that the FF was just the wrong property for him. Maybe if he'd been given something that played more to his strengths, he would've done better. Then again, see my thoughts above about Chronicle.
Its a nonsense anyway based on a weird linear idea of
Make film >>>> make deal for next film>>> make film>>> make deal for next film.
He will have an agent who will be making deals before a single frame has been filmed on FF and people taking a gamble that it is the next big thing.

He lowers his price, makes crappier movies, then tv, then music videos, then adverts, then live theatre, and then finally life coaching.
The fall to the bottom is much slower than you would think.

Could be that it was all too much too soon for him, or he just doesn't have what it takes to make it big. Either way, the impending mega-failure of Fantastic 4 doesn't bode well for him.
He could always move onto directing tv shows. Getting more experience may help him doing movies again eventually.
Maybe Americans are not the target audience?
Maybe in Japan the Fantastic Four will make a billion dollars because it's 2 dimensional fluff comparable to nonpornographic anime?
Bollywood's market is 8 times the size of Hollywood.
Imagine.
(Don't laugh.)
Imagine if Dr. Doom was from some tiny splinter country neighbouring Pakistan that might as well be Pakistan.
An all singing, all dancing Bollywoodified Doctor Doom.
The complexity of the hinges his armour would need to allow Victor to still do that expressive head shaking thing they do would be impressive.
Maybe next time?

Maybe studio movies are just not for him. Once he gets his personal life in order (based on the rumors) maybe his future really is about making small budget independent movies. Many directors still have rich careers making quality, literate, artistic movies without the aid of the big studios.
That was the goal.Congratulations FOX, with the release of this new FF movie, you have extended your hold on the Fantastic Four movie rights for 7 more years.
So Fox's endgoal is for Marvel or someone else to just give them 3 hundred million out right for the rights?
Same. What I considered atmosphere in the first viewing, turned in to vapid narrative in the subsequent viewing.
Now on to F4. I'm morbidly curious to watch a train wreck. Hopefully Friday is a slow work day and I can catch a matinee.

An embargo is only followed by respectable press, who have something to lose from pissing off FOX.
