Wow - I'd love to see them do a big budget Fantastic Four movie. One of my favorite comics (probably my favorite Marvel) growing up.

Michael Chiklis as Grimm/Thing is awesome.

Jessica Alba. Wonder if they'll make her blonde though.

Chiklis seems like a good match

Alba is so hot..... my god.....


this better be a good movie and make them serious instead of playful characters

I dunno, I just don't have high hopes for this one. It's hard to translate these characters to the screen for one and have it look good (a stretchy man? a person who turns invisible?). And the director doesn't fill me with confidence.

Anyone else kinda feel like this franchise is doomed as a movie property?

Horatio Hornblower is da bomb

I actually think Rachel McAdams is a better choice for Sue Richards. Jessica Alba may be too hot for this role. Better to have her in more movies where we can see her nice midsection.

C'mon people lets have a little faith, it has'nt been filmed yet.

When Fox announce the casting for the first X-Men, many people myself also, never heard of Hugh Jackman who was going to play the popular Wolverine character, I was sure it's was going to suck big time. Boy, was I wrong, after seeing it first time in theater I thought Hugh stole the whole movie, he was best choice for that role. I also thought that McKellen did an excellent job as Magneto. The only actor I thought was wrong for the part was Halle Berry as Storm, her acting was terrible.

I really hope they don't mess this up. The FF have been favourite superheroes of mine since I was a kid, and I'd hate to see a bad movie made about them (I'm ignoring that first unreleased one, of course )

Depends how it's handled. If it's handled as a sci fi/action story with the family conflict at the core (at least three of the four members have to quit the FF for this movie to work!) then I think it will work splendidly. If they just try to rehash X-Men and Spider Man, then no, probably not, because the comic book is far from a rehash of other things Stan Lee did.

Hmm... Alicia Witt as Alicia Masters?

Hell, I'd give consideration for Sue Storm to:

Sienna Miller (my personal pick)
Katherin Heigl (young, but would totally fill out her FF uniform)
Jennie Garth
Brittany Daniels
Nikki Deloach (MJ on North Shore, looks very much like Sue)
Amanda Righetti (The O.C. and North Shore)
Tiffani Thiessen (as a blonde)
Christina Applegate
Gretchen Mol
Laura Linney
Naomi Watts
Kate Bosworth (too young, but cute)
Jessica Biel
Tea Leoni (maybe 8 years too late, though)

Patman - except for Tea Leoni, I say you are a casting genious.

But with all those Invisible Women it'd be Fantastic 16.

Or Fantastic 32...

This was a good idea until Jessica Alba was announced....

As I mentioned before, my first pick:

Sienna Miller

And my second pick:

Nikki Deloach, Pic #2, Pic #3

If this is successful, they'll need to do the sequel about Galactus and the Silver Surfer.

alba! oh yes!!

Ioan is Welsh- hence the last name. Is is the Welsh spelling of Griffith.

His name is pronounced: Yo-ahn Griffith.

pandering to the teen moviegoer

not making me happy

Chiklis is good casting

that's it

So is it true, has Sarah Wynters (of "24" season 2 fame) snagged the role of Sue Storm for the FF movie?

Jessica Alba is in!!! Not sure how to take it...good or bad? hmmmm Guess we all will find out soon.
