 FANTASTIC FOUR Casting News!
By Charley on July 7, 2004 11:44 PM
 Three out of four of the title quartet have been cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Thing, Mr. Fantastic, and the Human Torch now have live-action faces. There are still several possibilities for the Invisible Woman.
Michael Chiklis (TV's "The Shield") will play the Thing.
Ioan Gruffudd ("King Arthur") will play Mr. Fantastic.
Chris Evans ("Not Another Teen Movie") will play the Human Torch.
The Invisible Woman is still up for grabs, but sources are reporting that Jessica Alba ("Honey") is a strong contender. Rachel Macadams ("The Hot Chick") and Keri Russell ("We Were Soldiers") are also being considered.
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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.....

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.

Well like many other dopes out there I thought long and hard about who my "ideal" cast would be and here they are:
Reed Richards - Kevin
Kline
Susan Storm - Elizabeth
Shue
Johhny Storm - Seann
William
Scott
Ben Grimm - Michael
Madsen
Dr. Doom - Javier Bardem
Wyatt Wingfoot -
Benjamin Bratt
