Sep 1 2009More Superhero Movies: Give Fantastic Four Another Go
Hot on he heels of Disney's purchase of Marvel Entertainment, 20th Century Fox has decided to show off that they're still in charge of ruining some franchises. The studio has announced they're relaunching the Fantastic Four series. As an indication of what direction they'd like to take the franchise, they've put the writer of Batman Forever and Batman & Robin in charge of it:
20th Century Fox is the latest studio to start the process of overhauling one of its big Marvel Entertainment franchises, “Fantastic Four,” which has already hatched two films. The studio has hired Akiva Goldsman to oversee the re-boot as producer.New script will be written by Michael Green, the “Heroes” co-executive producer who co-wrote Green Lantern.
We can only pray this reboot will include re-doing that arbitrary snowboarding scene from the first film. God, snowboarding is so sweet.

Let's just let this one go. Truth be told, the only thing that makes the Fantastic Four worthwhile is they have the best villains. How about a Dr. Doom movie instead, huh?

I blame the angry fanboys/girls
They just haaaad to go and say the Disney buy out was the worst thing that could ever happen.
Never challenge Fox Execs like that. They will win.

A remake of a remake... yeah, this will make all the difference...

I don't get it. Another 'reboot'? What was wrong with the current incarnation? Why would anyone want to replace Michael Chiklis as The Thing? Just plain silly.

'Fantastic Four' movie doesn't need to be reboot... and its better if they don't change the cast members.

somebody please tell the people that want to make this movie that they just need to make it a more serious film and story with lot of action. Make it hokey with little musical montages is just awful. We don't need the rock and roll snowboarding (sorry BlogMaster) and we don't need the shiny happy fun music with Johnny playing pranks on Ben. Of course we didn't need Doom being made of metal either. Just do it right people!

Reed in the picture looks like he's smoking some reed.
And I hope they get another half-hispanic half-black woman, dye her hair blonde, and pass this off as the blue-eyed Susan... because there certainly aren't any real blonde blue-eyed actresses to pull it off.
Oh yeah, and also keep the all-metal Dr. Doom... because he just wearing highly advanced battle-armor isn't "cool" enough, apparently.

Great picture!
I actually have a soft spot for the first "Fantastic 4" movie.
