Here's my new FANTASTIC FOUR FIRST-FILM REBOOT FANCAST!

I think the first F4 FILM of a reboot should be HUGE! A real EPIC!
Not just the telling of how they came to be.

(By the way, PLEASE MARVEL/DISNEY.....GET THIS PROPERTY BACK!!!)

I would have them all becoming who they transformed into at the beginning
of the movie (REED, SUE, JOHNNY, BEN & VICTOR) but I would have DOOM and
the rest stop their bickering and group together to battle a terrifying
danger.....GALACTUS! Of course DOOM has ulterior motives like in FOX'S
“RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER”, after all HE'S DOOM!

The telling of how they become the FF should not be a whole movie. It
should be just the first ten or fifteen minutes of the movie, then SILVER
SURFER & GALACTUS arrive and that's the “TURN”, what propels the rest of
the film forwards.

THE SILVER SURFER will show up as the HERALD OF GALACTUS, telling
the people of the earth, “GALACTUS will DEVOUR YOU”! This time I would
show GALACTUS in all his massive splendor! There is a way to do it without
making it silly, I know there is! If HOLLYWOOD can make a giant GORILLA
believabl(KING KONG), then they can make a 30 foot tall creepy humanoid
alien believable!
They need to make him look “DEFINITIVELY ALIEN”. Come on, an enormous
humanoid alien would look a lot less silly than a gargantuan “GALACTIC
CLOUD”! (But they did actually have GALACTUS a little visible back there in the mist!)

GALACTUS: 28'9” TALL- OFFICIALLY (variable, he can grow larger than even a
galaxy)


ALIEN GALACTUS

NAMOR will come up from the sea because of all the damage GALACTUS is
doing to the ocean. Thus he will enter the proceedings. He will only be
for himself at the start. There would also be a hint of the romance
between HE & SUE.

I would put a bit more emphasis on THING/BEN GRIMM'S romance with ALICIA
MASTERS, this will bring PHILLIP MASTERS (PUPPET MASTER) briefly into
the story, as well. He would only be a supporting character for now.

Photobucket



The FF need to feel like a close family but not be so dang schmaltzy! They
need to feel like a REAL family, more like THE INCREDIBLES.

FRANKIE RAYE would make an appearance too, like in RISE OF THE SILVER
SURFER but I would surely not have her as a soldier. She should be the love
interest for JOHNNY. Having her as the young assistant of the government
liaison to the FF would work just fine.

Photobucket



This needs to be an EPIC, a long movie, at least 2 ½ hours, I WOULD say.

So weaving GALACTUS, outer space, the FF getting their abilities, NAMOR out
of the DEPTHS of the SEA, SUE & REED'S romance, BEN & ALICIA'S romance
JOHNNY & FRANKIE'S attraction to one another and NAMOR & SUE'S
underlying awkward attraction you would have a HUGE, EXPANSIVE &
EPICALLY ENTERTAINING FANTASTIC FOUR FIRST-FILM!

(((By the way, I use ALLITERATIONS as a running tribute to “THE MAN
HIMSELF”, MR. STAN LEE (I'm not that crappy of a writer!).
“EXCELSIOR, TRUE BELIEVERS! MAKE MINE MARVEL!)))

(((And I used KIRBY illustrations for my headers because the LATE GREAT
JACK KIRBY helped create THE FANTASTIC FOUR, as a tribute to him.



AND NOW.....

MY NEW FANTASTIC FOUR FIRST-FILM REBOOT FANCAST:

He made the STAR TREK crew feel like a family and was extremely true to
the source material yet made it feel amazingly fresh! Plus he made it
extremely adventuresome, a ton of fun! THAT'S WHAT THE FANTASTIC FOUR
NEEDS! (I know I use JJ a lot but he truly fits HERE!)

DIRECTOR:
J.J. ABRAMS

PATRICK simply fits! 'NUFF SAID! (He's slim, he's used to playing doctors
and scientists and he looks exactly like this REED RICHARDS illustration
here.)

I feel MALIN would work well with PATRICK, they had great chemistry in
WATCHMEN, plus MALIN has the gravitas to handle the mix of good wife and
sexy superheroine very well! She surely fits appearance-wise!

CHASE CRAWFORD has the light-haired “pretty-boy” looks and adventurous
qualities of JOHNNY STORM. JOHNNY'S not an opportunistic, obnoxious dick
like he is in the awful FOX movies. The FOX FF had THING and JOHNNY as
mere caricatures of the characters.

DOMENICK LOMBARDOZZI was fantastic on the now canceled BREAKOUT
KINGS on A&E. He has the stocky-look and the NEW YORK accent down pat!
That's because he was born in THE BRONX, NEW YORK, the same place BEN
GRIMM is from. Plus he's about the same age as PATRICK, he and PATRICK are
relatively young. I think he is absolutely the best man for the job!

Well, now that MADS MIKKELSEN is doing THOR 2 I had to find someone else
for VICTOR VON DOOM, Damn! The first time I saw NICOLAJ COSTER-WALDAU
was in a TV series entitled, NEW AMSTERDAM, on FOX. It was about a DUTCH
soldier in 1600's America who was cursed with immortality by a Native
American witch-woman, cursed with immortality kind of like THE HIGHLANDER,
now still alive in the present world he works as a NEW YORK CITY Homicide
Detective and uses his near 400 years of deductive experience to solve
murders. I thought it was way cool but apparently I was the ONLY ONE
watching because it only lasted 8 episodes.
(Of course FOX TV always cancels sci-fi shows!)
Anyway, NICIOLAJ was extremely charismatic in it and is now the same in
GAME OF THRONES. He is a DANISH actor and would fit the European DOCTOR
DOOM precisely. (They should not stray so damn far from DOCTOR DOOM'S
character! The FOX DOOM was absolutely CRAPPY!)

I've cast ELIZABETH BANKS for SUE STORM before but I got to thinking, with
her beautiful sweet smile she just exudes ALICIA MASTERS. She's a great
actress who could pull-off the role of a blind mutant sculpture who can
automatically sculpt anyone's face, the daughter of the evil PUPPET MASTER.
ELIZABETH BANKS is the spitting image of the strawberry blond ALICIA.

FRANKIE RAYE will be the love interest for JOHNNY. She's a firestarter too.
RACHELLE is a dead-ringer for FRANKIE RAYE. (Coincidentally she played
a doctor in PATRICK WILSON'S TV series, “A GIFTED MAN”, so she has
actually acted with PATRICK, something I wasn't aware before I cast her
here. (I only learned this just recently.)

I chose this guy for NAMOR a long, LONG time before he wore the pointy
ears as NERO, THE “NASTY” ROMULAN. So forget the negative comments about
unoriginality, “I”...was the “ORIGINATOR” of ERIC BANA with POINTY EARS!
Lol

the idea!)

Man, it is extremely tough finding a different voice actor for NORRIN RADD
than MR. FISHBURNE! But it wouldn't be right to use him again in a reboot.
But I would like to see a younger, more personable NORRIN RADD anyway. He
needs to be a real person, not so robotic and unemotional like he was in
FOX'S SILVER SURFER.
MICHAEL ROSENBAUM has the looks, the PERSONA and the voice to make a
fantastic NORRIN RADD, one who feels alive and lifelike, an actual PERSON!
He would have the star-power to star in his own HEROIC SILVER SURFER
movie, as well (A film which I really, REALLY want to see happen but not
with Frakking FOX!).

Awesome cast as usual, we have the same Reed n Doom but they r perfect 4 those roles so all fanboys should b promoting such choices
Moving on;
- Akerman n Crawford work in their roles I have my own choices by definitely wouldn't b opposed 2 them
- Banks does better in supporting roles do props go 2 u 4 that; fits quite well
- Rosenbaum as Silver Surfer is interesting; I like Josh Hartnett but Rossenbaum is very underrated so I wouldn't b opposed 2 c him there

Overall sweet cast, look out 4 my upcoming Superman cast
TheSoulEater
TheSoulEater - 6/18/2012, 5:38 AM
And once again the only thing I don't buy is the Bana as Namor, photoshop him as you might, he just, isn't the Sub Mariner....just the talented actor that tries to hard.



OTHER THEN THAT.................

this cast is tear jerklingly brilliant from its director down, and scaringly who I was going to cast

I knew when I saw DDD's cast I'd be impressed!

MikeZ - 6/18/2012, 7:31 AM
I'm so glad you came back. Where have you been?

I hear you, a Fantastic Four movie at 2-1/2 hours is a must.

- I won't say anything bad about Wilson.
- To me, Malin Akerman deserves a somewhat funny role. She's sweet as all hell, but I'm not sold on her as Invisible Woman, no matter how she plays a doctor on Children's Hospital. My pick is Jennifer Morrison, since she's a great actress all around.
- I still like Travis Van Winkle as Human Torch. I don't know much about Chace Crawford.
- I had Domenick Lombardozzi as Thing once, but I got hell for it because Ben Grimm is meant to look handsome. So anyone ranging from Eddie Cahill (he does a mean New York accent on CSI: New York. But seeing as Dom is a fan favorite, I don't know what to say.
- Nice pick for Doom.
- Hold up, Mads is doing Thor 2. God, I'd love to know what he'll be playing. Anywho, he was my pick for Klaw in my old Fantastic Four fancast (remember, where I cast Sarah Chalke as Susan, and you were all giddy about it?!). I could enjoy Nikolaj. Has he played villains before?
- Elizabeth Banks is the hotness! I know some people like her to play Invisible Woman, which is all cool, but she's great as Alicia Masters.
- I see you still love Doug Hutchinson even after shacking it with teen whore Courtney Stodden.
- I've always been fond of Sam Witwer as Namor. Check out this collage I did.



- Sure, Michael Rosenbaum would pawn as the Silver Surfer, but I think he's a great comic actor. Funny, since you loved him for Deadpool.

- If I had a dollar for everytime I see James Earl Jones as Galactus... But hey, this is your cast, he could work.

I think I'm giving this a... 10/10

DDD - 6/18/2012, 7:33 AM
Thanks BIGEARS@, bud!

Yeah, I thought ROSENBAUM was a good choice,
his flash voice was exactly how I picture
the voice of SS. And he has a striking resemblance
to NORRIN RADD. Just CGI him and away we go!

JOSH HARTNET with his Adonis 6'3" body and his
commanding voice would suit SILVER SURFER just great!

Thanks!
DDD
DDD - 6/18/2012, 7:40 AM
Thanks SOULEATER@!

Great minds think alike and that ain't no cliche'!

If people want to say that they were together in
WATCHMEN so they shouldn't be together in another movie
just look at NOLAN, he uses the same damn people over
and over again for his movies and everybody says he's
brilliant!
Go figure.

Ima gonna stick with BANA to the bloody end!
lol
Jolt17
Jolt17 - 6/18/2012, 7:57 AM
Waldau as Doom? That could be...perfect. Yes, that's an idea I've ever seen some times before, but here I have a chance to say it. (Since Mads Mikkelsen - also my initial choice for Doom - is doing Thor 2...well, damn; but, thanks for the reminder!) Brilliant.

I have different picks for the Four, although yours can work finely, I believe! (Although I have to be honest, I've grown pretty tired to see Wilson picked as Reed, lol - not that I'm saying he's a bad choice, though.) Try checking out Adam Baldwin as Ben, perhaps; he's perfect for the role, IMO.

Bana as Namor is pretty common, too, but he also can work just fine, I think. Mine is Zach Quinto, but as RoadDogXXIV said above, Witwer is also great. And Rosenbaum as the Surfer? Wow, just...wow. (Although someone has ever pointed out the idea of him as Deadpool; I like that, too.) Very creative, man.

There's no need to comment on the J. J. Abrams and James Earl Jones pick, I believe. All in all, this is a great job...as usual! :)

Thanks very much ROADDOG@, my friend!

Yeah, your FF with SARAH CHALKE was wonderful!
She is a wonderful and pretty actress. She can
do anything from extreme broad comedy to
gut-wrenching drama and she's such a cutie!

I see TRAVIS VAN WINKLE as a slightly older comic
book character than JOHNNY but he's actually
such an excellent actor that he could sell a
younger vibe, just like CHRIS EVANS did.

In the old classic FF BEN GRIMM was a stocky pug
from 'DA BRONX, with a stogie hanging from his
mouth.
You sure can't call MICHAEL CHIKLIS handsome!
CHIKLIS was actually quite perfect for BEN GRIMM,
too bad the movies were FAR from perfect!

I don't care what HUTCHISON does in his private
life. COURTNEY'S mother signed the legal
documents so their marriage is entirely legal!
Her dad said DOUG is the NICEST MAN he's ever
met! HUTCHISON is an amazing actor, just look
at him in THE GREEN MILE!
He married her so she ain't a whore anymore!

Yeah, WITWER is excellent for NAMOR!
I would be happy to see him play NAMOR.
Excellent Collage Pic!

Yup, JAMES EARL has been used to death
but there's a reason, he's perfect!

Thanks so very much for the 10/10 rating, ROADDOG@!
I'm deeply humbled and honored!


DDD
DDD - 6/18/2012, 8:27 AM
JOLT@.....
Excellent Poster!

You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
The FF need to be done justice in a film!

They need to be a serious, huge, subtly-acted
Epic of a movie! More like THE INCREDIBLES!
(It's extremely sad that a cartoon did a
thinly disguised FF better, more true, than the
actual FF movie! DAMN!)

It "IS" a VERY SERIOUS MATTER!!!
DDD
DDD - 6/18/2012, 8:42 AM
By the way, THANKS VERY MUCH JOLT@!

Ya know ADAM BALDWIN would make a damn fine
BEN GRIMM! Never would have thought of it!
Brilliant!

Yeah, WILSON has been used a lot for REED
but I think he simply fits damn well!
lol

COSTER-WALDAU has a huge range in his acting!
He has played a ton of diverse roles in
DENMARK. He owns a production company in
DENMARK.

He played a bad guy CHILLINGLY WELL in
HARRISON FORD'S FIREWALL.

ager - 6/18/2012, 8:53 AM
Wilson is always a great choice for Mr Fantastic he has the a great combo of dork and leader needed for MF

I like Akerman as Sue but i think since the 2 were in a hero movie together at least 1 should be swapped out for another actor/actress. if they were just any other movie together, showing great chemistry, i'd like the idea but having them in another hero movie is off to me.

A fine Torch, he'd perform excellently IMO.

I havent a clue who your bald Ben is but as long as he grows his hair out so as to not be compared to the bald Chiklis, im fine with it. I hate how everyone thinks Ben Grimm has to be bald now (I know you dont)

I wasnt sure about your Doom so i checked him out some more. I think you chose a bad picture cuz after realizing who he was i love this pick.

the next 3 are fine. nothing amazing, but theyre not there to steal the show, i like them

Banas a great Namor, liked it since the first time i heard, but since Trek its a hard sell, that and RoadDog@ is on to something with his pick.

I havent found the perfect Silver Surfer, but ROSENBAUM aint wrong at all. Would he do it?

Vader is Galactus. Sounds right to me

Check out my Fantastic 4 redo, revise and recast of '05.

Hugh Dancy as Mr.Fantastic

Yvonne Strahovski as Invisible Woman

Lucas Till or Huntar Parrish as Humna Torch

Sam Worthington as Thing

Johnathan Rhys Meyers as Dr.Doom

Tahmoh Penikett as Namor

Keanu Reeves as Silver Surfer.

Pat Wilson as Reed is a bit over used, how about Matthew Goode? Cant disagree with the other for Ben is my favorite the most original id have to say the best choice of this cast is without a doubt Dr Doom he just echoes doom! would comment more but on my phone right now, but if you can id appreciate you checking out my Uncharted Fan cast theres some picks i think ud love.

Wonderful cast @DDD!
You did a great job, and he plot summary is great too!

- I like Patrick as Reed! I would use him too, so I have no complaints at all!
- Malin is beautiful, has the dramatic acting skills down, cn handle the action...I have grown to like her, so I wouldn't mind!
- Perfect Human Torch. Hands down the best Human Torch choice yet!
- I never pictured a movie Thing as handsome, so I am a-ok with your choice! Great actor!
- Ok, your Doom choice...Is amazing! Nikolaj is uver talented and can play the "bad guy" well! I actually have him as Batman...I wanted someone original, haha!
- Both your Alicia and Frankie choices are spot on...Both fabulous, and gorgeous actresses!
- I have never really liked Bana as Namor. I'm sure he could possibly do it, but I do think there may be better choices.
- I think Rosenbaum could easily do Silver Surfer justice! With a little voice changing, and CGI I think he could nail it!
- Yes. Just, YES, to your Galactus choice! Amazing!

Great cast!
This NEEDS to be made my MARVEL, not Fox!

Expect a Wonder Woman TV bible and cast, and then a HUGE X-men cast with over 50-100 characters!
DDD
DDD - 6/18/2012, 2:28 PM
Thanks a lot AGER@!

I don't agree about PATRICK and MALIN.
I think they would be excellent in a
MARVEL FF movie. WATCHMEN was DC and not even
regular DC. WATCHMEN was pretty well a parody
of superhero movies.

I think PATRICK & MALIN would convey that
sense of family "BECAUSE" they "WERE" in
WATCHMEN together. People are used to seeing
them together.

NOLAN uses the same people in ALL his movies
but nobody seems to think that's "OFF".
So I don't really get your logic there.

I don't agree about BEN either.
CHICKLIS was a bald BEN and did a pretty
good job.
DOMENICK being bald has nothing to do with it.
He just happens to be bald too.
DOMENICK was born in the BRONX and born for
the role of BEN GRIMM & THING'S voice.

I have cast JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN as BEN GRIMM
but he's become too old for GRIMM and that would
actually be too crazy, to have him in there with
WILSON & AKERMAN.

Yeah, ROADDOG'S@ pick of WITWER as NAMOR is
excellent! But I think BANA would do
the role justice too!
ROMULAN and NAMOR aren't the same thing at all!
I won't just give up on BANA!

Like i said, i like both Reed and Sue but its not like using JGL and Hardy (after Inception) in Batman its more like using Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as Elongated Man and Sue Dibney (no, i dont think either are good in those DC counterparts, just throwing an example out there)

But i see your logic and no one else has thrown out my point so it apparently doesnt bother others

Never said a negative thing about , um, Thing just so as to not draw comparisons i'd like him to have hair. its a cosmetic issue =)

Dont give up on Bana, he's awesome. I'm throwing in the towel though. Whitwer over Bana for me, hes younger too. I like that.

and what of my FF revision fancast?

This is a brilliant cast. Usually when I go through fan casts it's hard to really see all of the characters in their roles. But with all of the above I think you got great matches.

As for your story plot, I totally agree with you on making the first movie one epic movie. And for some reason I feel the trilogy could draw inspiration from Star Wars in a way. Create a huge threat, expand the cosmos so they remain open for the rest of the movies as well as the MCU (so long as Marvel/Disney gets their rights). If not, keep it relative to Earth. I'd hate to see such well-executed movies (especially a trilogy) when they remain in their own realm of sorts. As for your desire to incorporate all of these different dynamics I'm not saying it's impossible, but I am saying you've got to remember what's important about this movie.

You brought up Abrams because of his work with Star Trek and making that crew convincing. So while the supporting cast is important, I say keep them as ways to ground the Fantastic Four. Make them the reasons why they choose to protect Earth. They should be the human interactions that drive them to be superheroes. The majority of the movie should deal with the team, and this is not to say you weren't focusing on that. Only, I feel Namor should have a cameo appearance alluding to his larger role in the sequel. This would be good to introduce him as the second movie (in contrast to the first) could really drive at an internally global threat as opposed to Galactus' externally global threat. Maybe even have the team's stay in space longer. The powers are obtained as well as some hints at Silver Surfer or Galactus (sightings in space? fuzzy transmission?), they are presented as menaces to the world, they try to figure out what's wrong, they intercept this huge threat and while it's wreaking havoc on Earth (instead of almost wreaking havoc) the team has to work together, with a reluctant Von Doom (maybe his presence is played down in this feature, a pre-Dr. Doom if you will) in order to get a lot of action and relationship with the team. Instead of having a feud within the team (like most tensions dwell in) have that derive from Victor's unwillingness to cooperate.

Above all, this movie should be a "family" movie. Not for the whole family to watch, although based on your casting and direction I don't see why not, but a movie where families of all sorts (large groups of friends, typical American family, adoptive, dysfunctional, you name it) look to as a fanciful, yet inspirational message. I think you're on to something here and if there's any cast that's going to do that, it's the one you've got.

Yeah, SOULEATER@,
ROADDOG'S@ got a casting coup with WITWER as
NAMOR, FANTASTIC idea!

You put up any cast you want! I look forward
to your ideas on the FF.
WILSON & AKERMAN make a great REED & SUE!
DDD
DDD - 6/18/2012, 8:29 PM
Thanks ADVOCATE@!

I like your ideas!
Yeah, I think you have something there with
NAMOR in the second movie but I think he would
work in the first movie as only a cameo, that
sets him up for F42.
Same with PHILLIP MASTERS.

I really feel strongly about not dwelling too
long in the first movie with their origin.

I think FOX made a mistake stretching out
their origin for a whole entire 1st movie.
The first 10-15 minutes is all that's needed to
introduce their becoming the FF.

Thanks very much NOWTHERESABATMAN@!

Yep, MARVEL/DISNEY need to get the FF BACK, PRONTO!

Yeah, you see the thinking behind having PATRICK
& MALIN together in the FF.

@DDD Great cast man. Impressive Doom and Silver Surfer. Rosenbaum kinds looks like a less muscular Engineer...

Oh man, if you get a good set up with Masters and Namor's cameos, it's going to really make the sequel interesting! Which, by the way, I wouldn't mind seeing what you've got in mind for the second chapter. And the third as well. I don't know why, but I'm always a big picture kind of person. It always helps to see the full scale of how things can be implemented. All the more reason for Disney/Marvel to hop to it.

And I definitely think that origin thing is the way to go with an FF reboot. Everyone will remember and/or have the first movie (which wasn't bad, for an origin movie) to refer back to. Your movie idea is way to take the FF franchise to the badass level it should have been from the start. Stepping stones. Each adaptation is a stepping stone.

I think Fox screwed themselves over trying to make the FF family struggle with teaming up because character development naturally took the whole movie to come together. If they are portrayed as a strong family unit from the beginning, then they're really in the bulk of the movie together. They cope with the new powers together, the isolation, the threats, everything. I think that really speaks to family. Not having a feud, leaving and coming back to regroup after venting, but sticking through it all, embracing every fall with empathy, selflessness, and respect.

Every time I watch the first FF movie, I cringe at the beginning where Susan is proposed to. However necessary it might have been, I smacked my head knowing there was going to be this huge on-going tension over "the girl" instead of a quick-paced origin. And then The Thing and Johnny didn't make things better, although Johnny's comic relief definitely relieved me. I'd only wish there was less quarreling. Converse, debate, be diverse, sure, but don't forget the team dynamic.

Thanks TWEEEEENKIES@!

Yup, MARVEL, PLEASE GET THE FF BACK!
"NUFF SAID!"

I thought BANA was the perfect look and fit
for a tall NAMOR (6'3 1/2") but now that
the AVENGERS are running a little smaller in
height and CHRIS HEMSWORTH is 6'3" for THOR,
logic would dictate that NAMOR needs to be
about the same height as CAP/CHRIS EVANS
(6'1) so I may have to rethink my choice
and accept ROADDOG'S@ choice, SAM WITWER
(6'1").

WITWER makes an UNCANNY NAMOR!
He would make a scary regal PRINCE NAMOR!

Apology accepted 789@!

Thanks for saying my cast was great!

I'm just getting kinda tired of people
putting their cast-list up on MY fancast.

Hey, if you want to do that cast put it
into your own FANCAST. Then you'll have
your own forum to receive feedback.
That would be great!

Thanks VAFROUS@!

They can always add muscle to ROSENBAUM in CGI.
They can also beef him up too, then transfer
to CGI.

ADVOCATE I'm working on the second film as we speak.

So, yes, you'll get to see what's next for the
"FAMILY".

FOX screwed the FF basic idea in more ways than one,
starting with miserably miscasting JESSICA ALBA as
SUE STORM. She was out of her element there.

BEN & JOHNNY were pretty well cast but the film
missed the mark of portraying the FF'S actual
family dynamic, a credible family dynamic as in
THE INCREDIBLES.
