CBR| Stan Lee's Life Story to Be Adapted as '70s-Set Action Movie
*checks calendar* I can't believe it's not April 1st.
Fox to make action movie about Stan Lee's life
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
Why not have the actor playing Stan(the man)interact with animated versions of his most famous creations?
That might be the only way the FF are faithfully depicted onscreen.
Obviously only the ones Fox has the licence for.
I heard about this but didn't realize it was coming from Fox. So they can't even mention the other properties that they don't have the license to?
I realize this is not going to be purely autobiographical, but how do you do a Stan Lee story without mentioning his most famous creations?

I think they can mention them, but they can't do animated versions of them as @flandry84 suggested. Fox still has the X-Men and Fantastic Four, though.
You knock it, but this just might be the out-side-the-box kick in the pants the industry really needs.
If it's "five o'clock somewhere", can't it be April 1st somewhere?
As long as it has a modern-day framing story featuring Stan Lee himself, I got no problems with this.
This actually sounds pretty cool. I wonder if his alter ego will be called "The Man." 
You post just made me think the movie should feature an epic team-up between Stan Lee and Gene Roddenberry. And along the way, they run into aspiring filmmaker George Lucas.
I think The Man should get his marching orders from The King. 
His Merry Marvel marching orders!

Someone at Fox clearly saw Jean Claude Van Johnson.
He does not look like Stan Lee. It's an odd choice.
That's a mistake. Real people are treated unjustly as a result, denied the credit and compensation they're rightly due for their creations while praise and wealth are heaped on the undeserving.
I doubt that one poster on the TrekBBS choosing to not let those stories influence his vision of Stan has any effect on who gets credited for what.
As for the movie, three words: Giant Evil Stan.

Exactly,Old mixer.
My opinion of Stan is just that...my opinion.Still entitled to that methinks.I do not know,or realistically,care much about creative or business disputes that happened a very long time ago.
Back when I was a kid there wasn't much "geek culture".American comics were a colourful and exciting rarity,a pleasure of which I have very fond memories of to this day.
And in the middle of it all was Stan Lee with his outrageous,effusive eloquence(which I wish I could match).An inspiration to me and I suspect many others,I will always be grateful to Stan.
If,Denis that doesn't suit you...learn to cope with disappointment.
