Fantastic Four Is Being Remade... Already???
DO OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember waaaayyyy back in 2005 when we were all walking 6 miles to the market in a foot of snow to buy a carton of milk that cost 5 cents? Try (if you can) to remember a movie called 'Fantastic Four' starring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans. I know! I know! It was such a long time ago - I'm really asking too much of you.
Well, it's being remade.
A movie that came out in 2005 is being remade. The sequel came out in 2007 and the series is being remade - with a new cast and a new storyline.
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,” the Martin Campbell-directed Warner Bros. film that will star Ryan Reynolds.
Do you hear what I am saying? How insane is this?!I wonder what Jessica thinks?!

It's not unheard of. Marvel did it recently with The Incredible Hulk. It turned out fine. I don't get what the big deal is.
I think its crazy too. Although they remade the hulk, I don't think it was anything better, looked just as lame. Besides...how about a an ORIGINAL idea already, seriously.
How Hard can that be.....to think of something brand new, no more book adaptations, no more endless sequels, no more re-makes.

That's much, much harder than you think it is. EVERYTHING has been done before, practically. And the new Hulk, with Edward Norton, was much better than the Ang Lee version.

When do we get to read all of the original screenplays you have written since you think it is just stho easthy to come up with new material? I'm waiting! :-D

What kind of an original idea? Maybe a romantic comedy involving two lovers who have the world, or at least their families against their union? An earth at the brink of destruction dependent on a few goodhearted to save mankind?
It's all been done, unless you're managing to hold out on us.

Maybe it's just a project so we will not see it before a couple years.

I say go ahead and do it. A reboot couldn't possibly be any worse than the original.

Didn't care for the original-probably won't care for the remake either..
They HAVE to do a remake, Jessica's acting ruined the whole movie.

ITA, it can only get better if she's not a part of the cast.

Actually, her mere presence ruined it for me.

Are you serious?! It's not even a classic. These remakes are getting to be a little bit ridiculous. I want to see something new!

Just as I was happy they remade the Hulk RIGHT, I'm happy they'll take this on again. It was done no justice the first time around.
Somebody please come up with an original idea. This acceptance of mediocrity is nauseating.

This line of thinking is right up there with calling a celebrity a chunker when we can't see if you're chunkier still.
Post one of these so-called original ideas of your own, otherwise zip it.

My inner comic book geek would like to ask if we can please have a real blonde for the role of Sue Storm this time? It's not that I don't love my fellow denizens of Browntown, but seeing Alba in that role was disconcerting.
