RSS Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Why are Shana and Mike rebooting Fantastic Four, a movie from 2005? 'Cause that's the way of superhero movies: reboot, remake, repeat.

slothian Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Word up, Simses! To answer your shout-out, Shana, I do actually like hearing the plot ideas first and then hearing how that plot would be cast. It worked really well for the Jurrassic Park episode. Plus the other way round kinda forces you to explain away parts of your storyline anyway, so you may as well set the scene to start with so that you don't repeat yourself too often. Also Mike, Famke Janssen isn't wooden (see Goldeneye). She's Dutch. Link to post Share on other sites
KnightWing Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Also Mike, Famke Janssen isn't wooden (see Goldeneye). That was my exact thought as well. "She wasn't stiff in Goldeneye! ...literally." Link to post Share on other sites
Davedevil Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I always thought Neil Patrick Harris could make a good Johnny Storm. That could just be my NPH love clouding my judgement. Link to post Share on other sites

Dan Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Great episode, guys. As a lifelong FF fanatic, I was (by and large) terribly disappointed in this movie. Michael Chiklis and Chris Evans were perfectly cast, and the tone of the film (lighthearted but not OTT comedic) was what I would have gone for, but otherwise this was a mess. Alba and McMahon were hideously miscast, and Ioan "YO-an Griffith" Griffudd is a decent enough actor but a) too young and b) not charismatic enough to overcome Reed's innate woodenness. This reboot can't happen soon enough for me. Also, Blanchard: Don't ever change. Link to post Share on other sites
Stratofarius Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I just wish Marvel would find a way to get back the rights to Fantastic Four and Spiderman. I mean, come on, guys! You're owned by Disney! Please, please, please! I'll do anything just to see all these movies finally having a shared universe. Link to post Share on other sites
Stavros Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Good stuff as usual guys! Fantastic Four's problem is that it got made off the back of Spider-man's success, so it mimics those ideas of what a Superhero movie is. Instead of creating interesting sci-fi premises it's just more heroes in New York fighting. Link to post Share on other sites
