Re: Fantastic Four
41Tintin and Asterix are the comics that mattered over here 'back in the day'. Neither has ever been convincingly translated into the big screen and that's just fine.

Apparently not if you're Fox, as they're moving ahead with the sequel it seems. Since sequels often make less money than the original, I assume they'll be paying us to go see the next one.Alexhead wrote:but at some point don't you stop making movies that lose money and make the studio look like a bunch of jackholes?
This film wasn't made because someone had a good vision for a Fantastic Four film or a good story to tell. It was more of "Oh shit, we're going to lose the rights if we don't make a film. Put one into production and we'll figure things out as we go." When it became apparent that Trank wasn't up to the challenge of the film, they couldn't stop and pull him off and retool. They just had to keep going and hope for the best to beat the deadline. If they were smart they would have done something really cheap and burried it just to keep the rights and then developed it properly.TC wrote:at this point, how are people making superhero films that didn't learn anything from the xmen franchise, both about how to do it right and how to do it wrong? amazing.
