Fantastic Four

[trekgeezer]

Here's the cast:

Ioan Gruffudd (A&E's Horatio Hornblower, King Arthur)  as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic
 
Jessica Alba (Dark Angel) as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman

Chris Evans (Not another Teen Movie) as Johnny Storm/Human Torchj

Michael Chiklis (The Shield) as Ben Grimm/The Thing

Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck) as Victor Von Doom/Dr. Doom

This is being directed by Tim Story (The Barbershop).  Jessica Alba and Ioan Gruffud have both said the costumes will be blue spandex with the  4 logo on the front. The Thing will be a mixture of  Chiklis in prosthetics and CG.

Don't know how to react yet since they don't start filming  until next month.

I think it's all a big f**k up...every aspect of it.

The director, the casting, you name it....it's ALL wrong.

The only positive aspect is Michael Chiklis as The Thing.

This wil be another half assed attempt to make this movie and I predict it will be so bad it'll get reviewed on badmovies.org.

Goddam studio execs....I want to burst into their offices with an automatic weapon as punishment for all their useless tinkering.

The reason I know this movie will suck is cause it's just done by execs milking this comic craze, they don't have a true passion for this and it shows. Comic book movies are a good oppurtuniy to get actors that are unknown but they waste it on Jessica Alba, what a shame.

Although I'm not a Marvel fanboy or anything, only comics I read these days are my own.

I don't think you need to be a comic fan to appreciate the liberties Hollywood takes with comics. I imagine with that cast (will Alba even be blonde?) it'll be another half-assed cookie cutter film, that could just as easily have been done without any comic associations.
