Shit, I need to hurry up and finish my Fantastic Four article/editorial.

Anyone here an artist? I know Doopie is but I don't know if he's working on something, in which case I don't want to bother him.

This could be the first movie in years, were i dont know what is going to happen, the trailer dont show a lot, only maybe the basic presentation of characters and cliche plot.

But if Josh Trank is smart and play his cards he could avoid the cliches and change the way of the movie.

Because until now i dont understand a lot what is going on, more that the classic cliche story of five or more guys, four gets super powers, one becomes a monster and decides to take the world.

so if he avoid a little bit that shit i will be happy.

Well, to be as completely honest as I can studios lifting the embargo usually around at "least" 7-9 days isn't bad (in this case Ant-Man) but studios releasing films a day before is VERY questionable. It's said that if the embargo lift is at least 2-3 days ahead of its release means that the studio may not be confident within their film. In F4's current case it seems that there's won't be lifted until Thursday (opening night) from what I've seen online that is. This may not be the best sign, only other film I can think of who's embargo was lifted late was Mad Max and I believe that was only 3 days ahead of its release if I'm correct.

Been riding with this baby since it was first announced. Ain't not turning back now! lol Guess I'll see y'all on the 6th at Midnight.

Don'tcha just love the term "haters?" It's right up there with "talk to the hand," and "don't hate the player, hate the game."
Used when you can't access your logical discourse gland.

@AlexdoxA
Sue first calls him that from the vary beginning out of fear for Reed (when they all first transform).
Origin stories USED to be concise.

The film comes out in a lot of territories (including the UK I think, if I remember from the trailer) on August 6th... Fox has to be paranoid if they're releasing reviews the same day early and opening day showings are being held, definitely not good at all.

Each FX shot in the trailer is progressive worse. The scene with Johnny flying versus the jet and after is bad. The scenes in the forest are distractedly bad. I wouldn't be surprised if they were added at the behest of Fox to make the movie more of an action picture. Just embarrassing.

FANTASTIC FOUR embargo lifts... 4pm PST the day before the movie comes out. Hmm. (That's for online. Print embargo lifts day of release.)

So is the "day before" Thursday or Wednesday? If it's Thursday, it's going to be grim(m).

No sweat. As Stan himself wrote it.
Not that it matters at all in this alternate universe version of a movie. They can write anything they want because they're creative like that.

Still looking great. I'm dying to know what's happening to Sue's hair throughout the movie. It's getting lighter and lighter.

To this day, one of the best trailers ever was an utter shit movie with craptastic CGI that only a mother could love.

I'm starting to believe that FOX is intending FF to fail on all levels as if shit like this trailer below can grab your attention by the nutsack, how the fucck does this Faux Four movie continue to fall deeper and deeper into the hole of filth with everything that they show.
