Bosco685 Posted February 24, 2014 Author 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. +1 thats a good point, I hadnt thought about the TinTin connection. CGI will be better than a silly padded suit! And he would have more freedom to show movement & emotions with mo-cap suit than a padded suit. I just want to see this movie surprise us all, and be the hit we may not be predicting yet.

Bronze Surfer Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I thought FOX got it right with X-Men FIrst Class with it being set in the 60's. I'd like to see a FF movie along the same lines and being set in that time period. Also an more in depth origin story For Dr. Doom going back to Latveria like the did with Magneto and his Nazi back-up story. Now thats a movie I could get on-board with!

The time period piece is an interesting choice. I also thought Cap in the 40s was interesting too. It would be interesting to see them go back in time. I'm disappointed to see them change the dynamic of the team with Johnny, but Michael B Jordan has been pretty solid. I'll hold my judgment until we get something on screen.

NewEnglandGothic Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Still taking the high road and reserving judgement until seeing the final "product". If the internet was in full throttle in 1981, would there have been a backlash about making Mel Gibson's character a samurai in a nuclear wasteland in the Mad Max sequel "The Road Warrior". :shrug: Filmmakers roll the dice. Who would have thought James Cameron would have turned the "haunted house" toned Alien movie's sequel into a war movie. Casting Mr. Mom as Batman. I say let's be surprised. For me, I want to see these funnybook movies evolve. That means... taking chances. If that means violating prior storytelling to feel fresh, oh well. If it sucks we'll just see it play on FX a thousand times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FF will be sandwiched in between Jurassic World and Ted 2. Two big blockbusters. Good luck at the Box Office FF.

Artboy99 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 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. it could be done, you just never show the full character. Glimpses, parts like a giant hand only or his glowing eyes.

Jordan discussed his role as Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch, in The Fantastic Four movie, suiting up for the first time, among other things. About the negative response to him playing the originally-white character, the Chronicle actor doesn't think about it. "Can't make everybody happy," he said.

Check this out: There is absolutely ZERO reason why they could not have Galactus appear on-screen as he looks in the comics. The above pics demonstrate Big G could look so bad- on the big screen. ...I mean, for gosh sakes, if a talking freaking raccoon who is a munitions expert and walking kick- tree can be accepted by the mainstream movie going public, how the heck could a world devouring Galactus not be? They can do it, they choose not to due to stupid logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
