Fantastic Four reboot

Indeed, but it's still a good speculation something along the lines of the Daredevil movie rights which reverted back to Marvel.

Did Daredevil have a release date, writers and Director on board?

Can't recall.

 

[Vivek]

No release date, but DD had a deadline to start shooting, Joe Carnahan was attached to direct. He even did a sizzle reel.

 

[Irvy]

Yes!

Maybe a little too old though.

Meh he can mocap it/ provide the voice.

 

[Biojex]

Mm yes. That's a real winner if an idea.

So does that mean you know the difference between karate and judo?

I think one has people getting hit and the other one has people hitting...no wait, was it the other way around? I'm confused.

Maybe they should get Ben to do Daredevil again - don't let him mess up Batman unless he can clean up the mess he left with Daredevil.

He did well in the role - it was other factors that ruined the film.

I really would like to see FF go back to Marvel. After First Class and the huge improvement to the Wolverine series I want Fox to focus on the X-verse. If they are going to develop another comic movie series, it should be X-Force, Alpha Flight, or Excaliber.

Not saying I don't want a new FF movie, but I'd like to see Fox stay focused on growing their X-verse now that they seem to have put their dark ages of X3 and Origins in the rearview.

I'm so glad Fox is on a roll with X-men. I hope they can keep it up. And Channel it into FF. IF they fail, Then revert it back to Marvel.

I gave the punchline a page or so back but no one appreciated my twisted humor.
Alas..

Some great actors there.

Not sure about Jack O'Connell. Only know him from Skins where he is thuggish

The second guy looks like (how I envision) Lloyd Christmas in college.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Surely that guy's too young for Reed?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Probably based on the Ultimate Comics (like most Marvel movies) where they are younger.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

A younger Reed would be absolutely ka-ka for me.

When I think of the Marvel legends, that's what I think of - the classic representations. The last FF films did nothing for that either I know..

However - you know, Gen-Ying things up is as much a hinderance, as it could be a help for the brand. IMO, these films should be all encompassing in terms of being faithful & building on the cornerstones of these characters - not plucking things out from here & there when the fad / mood suits.

Now is the PERFECT time to go back & start fresh - & do FF right.

I would like to see it as a period piece ala 1962, be quirky, slightly campy and fun. However have a terrific villian and credible actors, not the teenage latest popular actor cast...

 

[JonWes]

Man, I hope this isn't true! I don't want Reed Richards to be someone I want to punch every two seconds. No offense to the guy, but I've only seen him play douchey roles.
