Fantastic Four (2015)
 

In case the summer of 2015 wasn't crowded enough with superhero films...

I swear, 2015 is going to be the end of the blockbuster movie because there are so many coming out, some are going to not do well just because people are weary of it. Also too expensive to see every one.

I want to see a well done Dr. Doom. As in, he's clearly evil, but show how he is actually a good ruler and cares about his people.

But seriously, FUCK Reed Richards. I think the only "heroic" character that is more unlikeable than he is would be Cyclops.

if only this happened to reed

I heard they might go a more 'comedic tone' (think Rebel Wilson as the invisible woman and Jonah Hill as the thing)

It's not the Fat-tastic four Slik.

They are going to have their work cut out for them to get this right

I wonder how did people feel about Iron Man when it was announced? Just don't remember.

All I remember is that some people were really down on RDJ as Stark. The fools.

Artie Lange for Mr. Fantastic.

Ant Man?

I hate Hank Pym.

I would like to see Doom as a charismatic despot though. Bonus points if the actor playing Doom can make Doom look badass while Doom refers to Doomself as Doom in the third Doomson.

I'm surprised there's no further news on the cast. The Michael B Jordan rumour is almost a year old now, with nothing to really confirm or supersede it. Granted, moving the date may be related to that....

It's also a shame Fox still has the FF rights because I'd love to see a persistent Doom show up in an Avengers or Avengers tie-in movie.

Thank God your sources are 95% inaccurate.

It's really weird because Downey pretty much was the Tony Stark character minus the ability to build incredible devices from scraps in a terrorist hideout.

Ehh. Arguable. I mean placing Cyke above Reed on the unlikability scale. They're both still asshats, though.

As for Doom, the Twisted Toyfare Theatre version of him would be awesome. Especially if they are ging for laughs. "I shall launch the Baxter Building into space! (again) Yes, this pleases Doom! Suck it, Richards!"

F4 cast announced...

Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm
Kate Mara as Sue Storm
Miles Teller as Reed Richards
Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm

The previous movies weren't very good, but Bell and Jordan still have some big shoes to fill.

Evans and Chiklis did an amazing job, and made the movie fun for me despite all it's other flaws.

Not one of those actors screams their role to me (But Jordan did something of a super turned down Johnny in Chronicle kind of), but there's a lot of talent there. I'm curious.

You had me at Kara Mara

So how are Sue and Johnny siblings here?

Well I think the assumption is that it was an interracial marriage, at least that is the response some are getting for the casting choice. Personally I don't like the choices,

If people want diverse heroes then the companies need to make new heroes that youth can identify with rather then change the current ones. I read some forums and see people wanting so and so be gay and so and so changed to Black or Hispanic or whatever and I want to go "You stupid Mother fuckers why don't you support the minority heroes they did give titles to or added to groups, hell DC comics added an all Black line that pretty much disappeared due to lack of interest.

I don't think this is for diversity; the director's just down with Jordan.

:heart:

Johnny and Sue's father is black, meaning at least sibling in laws or Sue being adopted.

Just like X-Men...

I wouldn't say that's like X-Men.

I wouldn't say that's like the Fantastic Four either.

I'm not a huge fan or anything so however they wanna remix it is fine by me. Sadly, this does mean another version of Doom that will not be like what he is in the comics.

Trailer doesn't really reveal too much, but it certainly doesn't look as god-awful as a lot of people have said it'll be.

kewl trailer. don't care much for the FF, but it was kewl.

Hmmmm... the "tone" of this thing so far.... I dunno... it seems like it could have been a "decent movie" if it were just about four people, and not a Fantastic Four movie.

Maybe a Challengers of the Unknown movie.

Exactly, seemed like some other interesting thing.

A lot of people don't really seem interested in this film or are convinced it's gonna suck.

I'm certainly not saying the trailer put FF on people's radar all over, just that by avoiding nearly every cliche of superhero movie trailers it is at the very least interesting in a way. Lock Jaw pointed this in the direction of oldschool sci-fi pulp comics. The official summary also reveals that they do get their abilities by traveling across dimensions rather than space. This is crazy sci-fi shit.

There may be some strategy to being a decent sci-fi movie rather than a bad superhero movie, but we don't know that they can pull at least that off. What's important is there's no way Doom is going to be done service for the third movie in a row.

They are doing reshoots ATM in Baton Rouge.

The trailer doesn't seem that amazing to me, but I'm not totally disgusted at the idea of this film existing like so many others are.

I like the other two FF movies, and will give this one a chance. I'm interested that they've made changes to this movie, so that at least it's not completely like the comics or the past two films.

This is not the Fantastic Four.

Why? Coz Ben Grimm is black?

The black guy is Johnny Storm.

Whoops, yeah just re-watched it. My mistake.

So, to correct myself...

Why? Coz Johnny Storm is black?
