Fantastic Four

[Pro-Goyim]

There's not a huge amount of buzz in general for this film, and I was just wondering what you think of the trailer:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantastic_four/internet_exclusive/

to me it seems like it's gonna be a pretty entertaining flick. and before anyone makes the mistake of saying it, they are NOT copying off the incredibles. the incredibles copied them.

Trailer looks alright.

Why would they copy off Incredibles?

Look's funny aswell and aslong as they showed like all the good bits in the trailer and teh film is crap im happy. *cough* hulk *cough*

 

[firemedic0703]

(don't mention hulk...)

 

[sammyt]

Also don't mention R. Corman esq's earlier version of FF, possibly the worst film in history!

 

[brando25]

Apperantly they had to reshoot the ending as it was too similar to how the Incredibles ended.

I read this on Rotten tomatoes last year. This is very worrying indeed.

I have a feeling that this film is going to be a dud anyways.

I've seen a rough copy of the film, that is now going to be released in the cinemas. I thought it was total crap and didn't like it one bit, but then again I never like super hero crap anyway.

 

[Layzie]

You have!

Please give us the pros and cons of the film please.

 

[BigJetFixemUpper]

sorry but now you've said this can you give me more details i thought this had only been a comic and a cartoon before.. when was the other version done ?

 

[music ♥]

Roger Corman had the rights to FF but could only retain them if he actually made a movie. Sadly the small print failed to specify that it should be a movie worth watching.
It was made about 10 years ago and to be fair, it was never intended to be shown (mercifully some might say) to the general public.
It stars Alex Hyde-White (always a sign of quality film-making, Biggles, anyone?) and a cast of total nobodies, was made on a budget of several dollars and is a total hoot.
It's only redeeming features are Thing's suit which is more accurate than the new version and some colourful animation of the Human Torch.
You can't legally see it anywhere but a few sf conventions have had it inflicted on them. Any p2p network (try Shareaza or Limewire) will let you download it but it's a very poor, out of sync copy. Still, given it's general crapness, technical quality is the least of its problems.
There was talk of making FF in 1973-4 and I remember seeing a still from it but I've never heard of it since; if it was ever made or even started it's probably shelved somewhere.

i very much doubt you've seen a copy of a film that isn't going to be released for another 2 months, and went through reshoots a few weeks ago.

a tv spot has just been put on the movie website though, it has a little extra footage and updated effects:

I think the most dissapointing thing i've seen so far is the, erm... Thing.

He looks terrible, where are the big brows?

 

[Little Miss Chatterbox]

big brows go bye-bye

there have been some shots which involve a brow, they might add it on in pre-production. hopefully they'll actually make him look rocky, too.

 

[Actual]

Don't think the brows are in at all, just seen the U.S. NBA F4 trailer and his head still looks like a badly formed t**d.

Ah well, it's not like it's Batman.

 

[damienbfree]

And one other thing that makes me think this movie will suck is....Chris Columbus is a producer!

My goody goody goodness.

 

[summer 369]

so much negativity...

There was a previous version of this film made in 1994, it was pretty low budget, however shortly after it was produced, Steven Spielberg snapped up the rights and ordered the completed version to be vaulted, however it was leaked and has subsequently made it's way to ebay:

Which we all know is the worlRAB biggest piece of legal spyware.
