It seems yet another comic book franchise is getting a fresh start.
IESB.net has heard word that 20th Century Fox is gearing up for a complete reboot of its
Fantastic Four franchise.
The franchise is looking to be "less bubble gum" this time round following the
Iron Man template, which was a complete success in reviews and box office take but a bit darker when it came to its superhero.
It was also reported that director Tim Story would not return and they will recast the foursome of Mr. Fantastic, The Human Torch, Inivisible Girl, The Thing and Dr. Doom.
We'll certainly keep you posted on any new updates regarding this reboot.

But WHAT HAPPENED TO THE "SILVER SURFER" SOLO FILM???
"Rise of the Silver Surfer" was to be a lead-in to that movie, an introduction to the spaceway surfboarder. What the hell happened to THAT?? And where's the JMS SCRIPT?
word
NOOOOOO!!!! SHE'S THE ONLY REASON I EVEN SOMEWHAT LIKE THOSE MOVIES!!!
I DO like the idea of Billy Crudup as Mr. Fanstastic...nice call kyle hannah.
GERARD BUTLER for Doom...duh.
I'm going for an older cast look.
Mr. Fantastic: Billy Crudup maybe
Invisible Woman: Kate Beckinsale
Human torch: Mark Whalberg (I will miss Chris Evans thou)
The Thing: Same actors voice, but CGI like people say
Doctor Doom: Mathew Fox
Marley Shelton (Sin City, Planet Terror) as Invisible Woman
Michael Chiklis was a perfect Thing but they need to lose the costume and do a practical and CGI combo to pull him off too much CGI doesnt work and neither does too much practical. Im really stuck for whod play Thing. As for Torch...well heès supposed to be younger than the three, supposed to be a cocky hearthrob type of guy without pondering too much id go with Cody Linley (Hoot) he shows some promising acting chops and at least that way they wonèt pick Zac Efron or Jason Earles gasp!
Chris Evans is the only one I'll miss
Not every comic movie needs to be "dark." Ya know why The Dark Knight was dark?...because it had the fucking word in its goddamn title!!!! Shut the fuck up! Dark works for street level heroes(Batman, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, etc.). The Fantastic Four goes on big space adventures! Yes, Dr. Doom needs to be more badass, and I guess you could say "dark," but you nimrods have twisted the meaning of the word after TDK. Your interpretation of it is meaningless...so shut up.
However, I'll go to the next one, not for the "eye candy," but a good director, story, and cast. So far, I agree with Vis.
This movie was just made a few years back for crying out loud! wtf
