CAHokie Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The -script is more important than the actors. So if the -script is awesome, they could cast Miley Cyrus as Sue Storm and Justin Beiber as Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiveTurkeyMoFo Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 The -script is more important than the actors. They are all young, and they are all already very accomplished this far along in their acting careers. Maybe we'll actually get a movie worthy of the FF name.

I was intentionally being silly, but honestly I think the -script and actors chosen are equally important. One can not succeed without the other.

Marvelfangirl Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm not worried about casting. I'm more worried about the -script. The casting of Jamie Bell means that The Thing will be CGI. Bell has done motion capture before with the TinTin movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Knight Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I just want to finally see a good FF film for once. Hope this is a step in the right direction.. Bring on Galactus already! !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bell has done motion capture before with the TinTin movie. Getting the special effects right, for the Thing and Mr Fantastic in particular, is an imperative for this movie.

MatterEaterLad Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm excited by the casting. Anything to erase the stench of the last two films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantastic_four Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I just want to finally see a good FF film for once. Hope this is a step in the right direction.. Bring on Galactus already! !!! Marvel will probably never put the Galactus on-screen we know from the comics. Kirby's original concept of the character was that he was a big space monster a la Fin Fang Foom, but Lee thought that would be hard for people to identify with, so he asked Kirby to make him a giant humanoid. A giant humanoid would look rather dumb on the big screen though and that's why we never saw Galactus in that second film. Odds are we'll never see him.

Bosco685 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 The -script is more important than the actors. No? There needs to be a solid matchup between -script and actor, or this ends up being a bunch of fans rehearsing at a comic book store. Hey! Someone should run with that, and call it something catchy. COMIC BOOK MEN! This could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be interesting is if he were a shape changer and changed into humanoid when interacting with humans, etc. the way other alien or supernatural life forms have. That could easily tie into the storyline both cloud and humanoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly the way they later retconned him to explain the dumb idea of why he looks like a big Earth human, that he appears in whatever form the inhabitants are on a planet he's consuming.

Prince Namor Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 To say "Kirby's original concept of the character was that he was a big space monster a la Fin Fang Foom" is untrue and irresponsible to his legacy. What we do know is Stan supposedly said "Have them fight God" and Jack came back with a complete story in #48 (the original pencils with the margin notes are still out there to see) and that Stan in his own words, knew nothing about the Silver Surfer until he saw the pages Kirby turned in.
