First Look: FANTASTIC FOUR's THING!!!

By Charley September 20, 2004 2:18 PM

Hollywood North Report has posted a behind-the-scenes photo of Michael Chiklis as The Thing in 20th Century Fox's adaptation of the comic book "Fantastic Four." ?Those who enjoyed the "shit demon" in Kevin Smith's "Dogma" may get a real sense of nostalgia from this photo.

"Fantastic Four" stars Michael Chiklis (TV's "The Shield"), Ioan Gruffudd ("King Arthur"), Chris Evans ("Not Another Teen Movie"), Jessica Alba ("Honey"), and Julian McMahon (TV's "Nip/Tuck"). ?It is directed by newcomer Tim Story.

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 ?out next year.

The Thing!

I just know F.F. wasn't going to work well as a film.

Y'know we're going throught the same thing that happened in the early eighties; Superman hit big and everybody jumped on comic adaptations without trying to make good movies.
I thought Spiderman 2 was awesome. I don't think it's a coincidence that no comic adaption before it so completely captured the spirit of the book.

The Thing looks totally cheap. It appears marvel doesnt want to spend the bucks on good special effects.his look sucks. they should have gone in the hulk route and used cgi instead some clown in latex. the unseen movie think looked better. Its cloberin time you bozo's out there.     COCK KNOCKER OUT!!!!
