Kate Mara is in House of Cards and quite good looking. I also like Jamie Bell.

I remember Michael B. Jordan now. He was in Chronicle... Not bad. See the F4 director directed Chronicle too. Did quite well with a low budget.

The gripe I've got with this is: Why reboot it?
I enjoyed the first two - and not that I was the biggest fan of the comic - but they did well with and I enjoyed it.
Why do it again 8 years later?
Ok - in hindsight - The Rise of the Silver Surfer was rather a rushed affair as storyline went.
But still - work on something else ffs!
If only Hollywood would work on doing some great work with anime or manga and making a decent blockbuster of it.

So what its when they don't have powers? :wtf:
Cant be a prequel to those movies since the first one shows them getting their powers - Nit picking here but do the journalists not watch movies they report on?
Word on the street is that Fox, who hold the film rights to FF and X-men, want their superhero films to have a shared universe with crossovers between the two franchise like how Marvel Studios and Warner Bros are doing.

Must be Marvels Greatest Regret selling their individual heroes/ teams to different studios.
Man a Cap America / Wolverine movie set during WW2 would be so epic!
He was fantastic in The Spectacular Now.

Kae Mara is good, she was impressive in house of Cards, but Mrs Fantastic?

It was stupid for the fans, but I doubt Marvel mind because their motivation is surely money not potential cross overs and collabos.

Yip, not sure how it's going to work....
Happened in the 90s when they went bankrupt and sold the film rights to whoever wanted it.

And the studios do whatever they can to keep the rights.
Read up on a crappy movie they shot just to keep the rights for Fantastic Four.

The first 2 Fantastic Four movies were very poorly reviewed:
www.imdb.com/title/tt0120667/
Given that it's a key asset for Marvel I'm not surprised that they'd want to get a clean slate on it.
