Fantastic 4 Movie: Reboot

Fantastic 4 Movie: Reboot

My thoughts about a Fantastic 4 Reboot and what I would like to see done differently!

I recently watched Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer. I enjoyed the movie but, as with most people, there are a few things I would like to have seen changed. Obviously, Galactus should have been CGI. I'm sure there is enough talk on that subject.

What I would like to talk about, and hear ideas, is a new movie and the idea of a Reboot. I have seen some sites but have been unable to access them to see the ideas of others. So I decided to offer my own ideas on an F4 Reboot.

CAST: KEEP Reed and BEN.

I won't miss Jessica Alba or Chris Evans. Evans doesn't seem interested. I'd like to see him but I wouldn't mind a slightly younger, thinner Johnny. He's a bit too buff for the role. Johnny should be young.

Jessica played Sue quite well. But she has since had a baby and I'm sure she would demand too much money. Hell, I work with a few blonds who could "LOOK" as good as she does. So I'm sure Marvel can find a lesser known actress, pay her less than a god's ransom and have the money to budget a GOOD movie.

VILLIAN: NAMOR!. I know he's not a villain but his first meeting with the F4 was NOT a friendly one. People act as if they're afraid to say they don't like Dr. DOOM. He's an awesome villain but I've seen enough of him. The entire Silver Surfer story could have been done without DOOM. It was good but lets see someone else. He could play the role Luthor plays in Superman, where, no matter who the villain is, Luthor is always around.

NAMOR should be ASIAN. THink I'm nuts? To get his facial features right, even with all the magic H-wood can muster, he would be better played by an Asian actor. He would LOOK more like Namor in the comics. The Actor should be Korean or Chinese. Any of the other groups would be too far from Vintage Namor in appearence. I hope this does not offend anyone but about 80% of my closest friends are Asian so I know what I'm talking about.

Neither Namor nor Silver Surfer can hold the Big screen alone. It was wise to introduce Silver Surfer in the pages (if you will) of the Fantastic 4. I would LOVE to see them stick to Namor's first encounter with the F4 in the book.
ALSO, since every movie MUST have some kind of love scene, I would LOVE to see the tension between Reed, Sue and Namor.

Namor takes Sue
Reed becomes obsessed with getting her back, neglecting other responsibilities
Sue actually shows some "Attraction" to Namor
Movie ends with the uncertainty of Sue's true feelings for Namor.

Any other Ideas?

Agree or Disagree?

FANTASTIC FOUR REBOOT/REMAKE WILL SUCK! (Like most of the others).

FANTASTIC FOUR 3: ATTACK ON MANHATTAN! (Moleman). Think FF #1 Cover!!!

KEEP ALL CAST! (Lose DOOM). ; )

Ubertroy @ Um.... FOX don't have the rights to NAMOR!

I like the effort you took on your article though dude, nice!

Silver Surfer yay. Namor:Vin Diesel. Sue Richards:any REAL BLOND with some acting chops and allure. Alba ain't no Blonde and she ain't all that! Evans cool Johnny, probably the best cast superhero comic character ever-with the exception of that dude who played Peter Parker on the old live action CBS Spiderman TV show.

no more reboots just continue the series and fix what is wrong with the other ones, it's not that hard hell F4 2 was better then the first so why can't they make the 3rd better then the 2nd just cause something gets rebooted/remade doesn't make it better.

I know I have said this all before but look at Punisher: Warzone that was a "reboot" and the Thomas Jane one ended up being the better one even though it didn't stick to the source as well as Warzone.... no more reboots.

Uber-toy: I think you are on to something here. I actually think Evan's build was no problem. I agree with loosing Alba. I never thought she was properly casted. Ian Gruffud is also not my cup of tea for Richards. Others are just fine as they are. I think your asian casting is great idea. Doom as a "Luthor-type" is also good. I don't feel a reboot is necessary. I think the treatment they gave the Hulk is the best way to go. Continue on with story continuity as if the previous blunders did not happen.

Superman Returns?!? That was a travesty, and now we're ready for some reboot-age.

Orisis @ Is right!!! HOLLYWOOD should keep them Reboots/Remakes up their HOLLYWOOD A$$E$!!! ; D

SUPERMAN don't need it either, just stick DOOMSDAY in it with a 3 hour EPIC feel an ROUTH an you got the best of the best!!! Use Lois as least as possible, also what kid? Doesn't have to be in it, the movie should all about SUPERMAN DEATH an maybe, i say maybe REBIRTH! Though could do a type of KEVIN SMITH or MICHAEL BAY TRILOGY! ; )
