This looks like it is going to suuuuck!!!!!!!!!!! The Thing looks like Swamp Thing from the '80's, except he's brown, and Jessica Alba, even though she's extremely hot, looks like a complete miscast as Sue Storm. And why in the world did they select Tim Story to direct? What moron saw the actionless comedy "Barbershop" and the extremely crappy Jimmy Fallon Taxi movie, and said "Hey, you know this Tim Story fellow would do a great Fantastic Four movie"? It just doesn't add up.

I was thinking the same things: that the guy from Barbershop, even though I liked the movie, didn't necessarily strike me as some amazing director. And the fact that everyone thinks that Jessica Alba is hot is arbitrary, because she's going to be invisible, right? I saw "Honey" (unfortunetly) and the girl in my opinion can't act. The whole thing looks like crap just from one poster.

[b]Will this move or not[/b]
Notwithstanding whether this will be good or not, will Fox take the chance of going up against Speilberg and Cruise with the War of the World remake ?

I think not. Jessica Alba maybe hot - but she's no Tom Cruise. My impression is that Fox will take the film and move it to a November slot, now that Cars has moved to 2006.

I can't remenber the last time that more than one 'BIG' movie opened during the July 4th weekend.

why november? imho it seems highly unlikely that they would take Fantastic4 out of the summer all together. probably just move back a couple of weeks or to august and avoid the Batman Begins and War of the Worlds rush. no other similar big action flicks lined up for that time yet.

We'll see - all I know is that there are going to be a lot of big movies during Summer '05. Since opening weekend has become such as important factor (most movies make most of their money in the first week), taking risks by going up against a Cruise/Spielberg movie just seems kinda nuts.

Notwithstanding Fantastic4, I just think there are too man damn movies out there - something has got to bust. Take for example Dreamworks - sure they had Shrek II, but before that they did not have a hit for almost 18 months, and their next movie won't be out until May 2005.

How can these studios survive ? It would be better if movie production was cut by 25%, and the movie saved invested into novelty items like stories, scripts, good actors...

Ofcourse it's crazy going up against War of the Worlds, but Fantastic4 still stands as good a chance as possible for such a film in some other slot in the summer (especially given its kids appeal). Late summer really isn't all that crowded yet. As things stand April looks as big as July or August.
As for DreamWorks, they've also had Collateral, Shark Tale, and The Terminal (worldwide gross) making good profits so why wouldn't they survive? They aren't as active as say Buena Vista or Warner Bros., but they've struck gold more consistently than their rivals this year, and done it with movies that have usually had smaller production costs. Something they are likely to repeat with The Ring 2 next March, before their big Madagascar release in May.
And while I agree that there are too many movies on the whole and too much money being spent on the wrong aspects of movies, most still end up making a profit for the studios by the time dvd&video sales are accounted for. So it's unlikely they'll step back any time soon.

sure, it's great to have cheesy movies, but why is it so important to have the best box-office gross? why can't ideas be intelligent and challenging yet fun and whismical at the same time? why is the same damn movie being made over and over with different characters? none of you help by actually paying money in some form or another to fuel the studios' fires. am i the only person who doesn't enjoy skimming life's thin outer layer?

[b]Box Office Gross sucks[/b]
The Box Office is just the product of the superficial, predictable human mass: there is no deeper value.
Mister Fantastic looked fantastic by the way.

Sure this version might outdo the original - big maybe
Just when Marvel redeemed themselves with movies like X-men and Spiderman - this garbage comes out and takes a huge dump all over the screen.
I for one will go and see if they try to add a sequel to the end, maybe having the Silver Surfer glide in and say "FF you might have defeated Dr. Doom for now, but there is a bigger problem coming this way!" And then the camera pans from the Surfer to the skies, past the planets of our solar system, to a odd looking ship (Taa 2) Then the ship approaches, the camera enters the ship and as we see the inside of the Taa 2, we see the captain of the ship in the distance, then the camera zooms in, and we see who Silver Surfer was talking about. GALACTUS!
Oh wait, that might make the movie cool, so this would never happen.
