    EDIT: an extra one for Ron.

      Couldn't find a thread already for this, but please merge if there is one and I've missed it.

      So, we have the first trailer for the Fantastic Four reboot, thoughts?

          Is it just me... Or are the Marvel/Other-CGI-comic-movies being re-booted far too often these days?

            It's not just you. Fantastic Four came out in 2005, as I recall. There's been one sequel. There is no need for a reboot. Just continue the story that has been started. There is no need to go over their origin again. Spiderman was another example of this. 30 - 40 years, with the franchise idle? Yeah, reboot is ok. But within 10 years? No thanks.

              Exactly...

              The Batman franchise ran with several different lead actors in the 90s, without requiring a reboot...

                It will take a miracle to save this movie from being this years biggest box office failure.

                  That's premature. Many thought the same about the Hulk reboot and did good.

                    And... are they just casting younger and younger or what?

                      My first response when I saw this thread was does that need to be made? The other movies are only 10 years old. They could easily just make a third movie.

                        Except that the last movie is widely seen as awful. They're rebooting to get away from that, and if they waited too long, the rights would have gone back to Marvel. Not saying that's a good reason from our perspective, but it is from the studio perspective.

                          It's more likely that the Director or some other high up muckity muck wants to put his own stamp on it to stroke his ego.

                                That will be a disaster, in my opinion. There are some things that you just can't improve upon. Whomever gets the task of running this risks a great deal. Screw this up, and your odds of getting another job in Hollywood aren't good.
