Ioan Gruffudd

Ioan Gruffudd ("King Arthur") will play Mr. Fantastic.

Chris Evans

Chris Evans ("Not Another Teen Movie") will play the Human Torch.

20th Century Fox is billing "Fantastic Four" as the "the last great jewel in the comic book crown." ?As such, they are putting a lot of emphasis on the importance of casting.

The Fantastic Four are astronauts who get radiated and gain super powers. ?Their arch-nemesis is a mad scientist named Doctor Doom. ?The film will be directed by relative newcomer Tim Story. ?It is due out next year.

Since I'm a comic book fan ofcourse I love the fantastic four but right now I have little doubt the movie will be good because of the lame director horrible cast and low budget its a shame they let anyone do a Marvel Comics movie now a days.

The film will flop because the Fantastic Four are some of the less realistic characters from the Marvel Universe.

Shame they chose them considering the amount of heroes they could have done.

Huh?   > reply

So stuff like a guy with the powers of a spider or a big green angry monster are realistic?

They are good characters but....   > reply

Posted by TheFilmProphet (FilmProphet@hotmail.com) on July 11, 2004 8:38 PM

It's not the fantastic four thats bad its the fact that they chose the worst director, cast and budget for example even Spider-Man 2 had a $200 million budget while fantastic four is struggling to even get $90 million budget also the director Tim Story has only directed the film Barbershop and an action science fiction film is too much for him and also the character Ben Grim is at least 32 years old and 6" tall but Micheal Chicklis differs incredibly and who knows what horrible actor they will choose to play Dr. Doom.

Who cares about the Fantastic Four? Spider-man 2 is the best film ever and is continuing to break all box-office records and counting...

Posted by TheThing (mdvane@yahoo.com) on July 12, 2004 8:26 PM

doesnt Ioan Gruffudd look a little bit to young to be reed richards?
i mean he looks younger than the guy playin human torch!

It doesn't look good   > reply

Posted by TheFilmProphet (FilmProphet@hotmail.com) on July 13, 2004 12:00 AM

I just hope they don't cast Jessica Alba as Sue Storm also FF may not make alot of money because they plan to release it together with Mission Impossible 2.

RE: They are good characters but....   > reply

Posted by TheFilmProphet (FilmProphet@hotmail.com) on July 13, 2004 12:02 AM

Your absolutely right about spidey and I hope it takes back 5th place from Shrek 2.

RE: They are good characters but....   > reply

I've been a hardcore fan of the Fantastic Four ever since I can remember and I'm telling you now, a movie of it would suck major assage.

RE: It doesn't look good   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 13, 2004 6:11 AM

That would be quite hard as Mission Impossible 2 was released years ago.

RE: It doesn't look good   > reply

Posted by TheFilmProphet (FilmProphet@hotmail.com) on July 13, 2004 10:46 AM

Please excuse me I meant to say Mission Impossible 3.

RE: It looks good.   > reply

Here's the Real dillio my friends:

Mr. Fantastic is:
Ed Harris

Ben Grimm/The Thing is:
Russell Crowe

Human Torch:
Paul Walker

Invisivle Girl:
Charlize Theron

Victor Von Doom:
Clive Owen

Willie the Mailman:
Ben Kingsly

Seriously, FF being arguably the best comic title of all time, I'm sure the casting will be much more serious than the joke this article implies. Then again, look at Daredevil.

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 16, 2004 1:10 AM

What kind of luck does Michael Chiklis posess anyway?
What sort of voodoo magic keeps this charmless pinhead working?
Ritual sacrifices?
Satanic incantations?
Eye of newt?
Does the guy just give a really good blowjob?
Help me out here...

RE: Ben looks Grimm indeed...   > reply

Posted by TheFilmProphet (FilmProphet@hotmail.com) on July 16, 2004 6:29 AM

I agree and I think this the exact case with the entire cast including the director of Barbershop?

RE: Ben looks Grimm indeed...   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 16, 2004 8:21 AM

You'd know all about giving blowjobs.

Dr. Doom?   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 16, 2004 8:25 PM

as Dr. Doom... I'm hearing that Ray Liotta has landed the role, that most of us will like least. Not that Liotta couldn't play the hell out of Dr. Doom.....

Fantastic Four   > reply

Posted by TheFilmProphet (FilmProphet@hotmail.com) on July 16, 2004 10:32 PM

Ray Liotta? I realy don't know who to expect to play him but either way the movie is already bad with a horrible cast. director, and low budget.


hmmmm i duno....   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 17, 2004 2:35 PM

i could pull something out of its ass and end up being a great movie but......i doubt it.So yeah basicly another example of how stupid the movie industry is:They over do everything the comic book movie thing was a good idea untill DareDevil.but*sigh*theres nothin to be done about it

RE: hmmmm i duno....   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 17, 2004 2:37 PM

****it




and i also think that the director was just tryin to cast his friends or something cause its full of horrible TV actors

RE: Fantastic Four   > reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on July 26, 2004 12:41 PM

Less realistic?

Well, maybe the would make a movie with Thor, Captain Marvel, Vision, Angel, Apocalipse, et all.
