Fantastic Four - comedy? Alba as Sue Storm!

OK, everyone knows that FF will be filming soon in Vancouver, but did you know they're going to make it more comedic (vs. serious-like)??
"It's funny, high adventure," he said, confirming rumours that that the Tim Story-directed movie will be primarily a comedy. "But you are going to tear up too. It's a bittersweet comedy."
That's crazy... I mean I saw the 1994 Roger Corman version, and that was laughable itself!

And Alba as Sue Storm?? Didn't Sue have blond hair and wasn't she like caucasian?? I don't see Alba as a Sue Storm. And what kind of role would you take if you'll be invisible half of the time?? LOL

Comments??

Don't care about hair or skin colour but if Alba can't be seen for 1/2 the pic then that sux 4 sure...

there or not... i know i'm gonna see it just for alba.... just like i did for dark angel, idle hands and even honey...

[trini]

I'm definately sexcited!

[sfu_lifer]

OOOH. They're filming in the Vancouver area.
Friend of mine is such a fan, hopefully he doesn't go stalking her ;)

She's not a match for the comic book though. Sue is an Aryan girl (blonde, blue-eyed, etc) and Alba's skin is a bit dark (makes her look more like Storm of the X-Men).

I'm sure she'll like Mr. "Fantastic", they can turn this into a sick Japanese hentail cartoon in a hurry :o

Ah well, eye-candy is eye-candy :cheesygri

If they are really making F4 a comedy, what a waste, it's already been done. Back in 94 they had a F4 movie that was goign to released but marvel did everythign to stop it cause, well it sucked (you can find copies of it online pretty easily). Note the movie was meant to be serious but in the end was a plain old joke.


Now to the new F4 movie:
The casting sucks. They were thinking of julia stiles as sue storm too. She is bad too but alba is just worse. Sorry but they should at least make the F4 at least LOOK similar to their comic counterparts. Sue storm has blue eyes and blond hair and is whiter than snow. While jessica alba is nice to look at, BAD CHOICE.

Julia Stiles?
UGH. FUGLY to say the least plus she doesn't have the pasty white skin.
I guess Kidman dyed blonde can look the part :cheesygri , or how 'bout this Page3 chick:

Who is that? she looks nice :) I think a good sue storm (married and with son franklin) would be Amanda Tapping from Stargate SG-1. But i'm guessing they want this to be a 'young' and 'hip' F4. Oh well

[Torley Wong]

Amanda Tapping!!! Smart AND sexy... we know she's got all the scientific jargon down pat! (I like SG-1 a lot too) :)

[sfu_lifer]

That is Michelle Marsh a page 3 chick with ahem, big assets.
I like her face.

If that is what Alba will look like for the movie, I think all you nay-sayers will be happy. She looks smokin hot in that picture... that kind of turns the heat up for this movie. I sure hope they try to make it a real movie and not just another superhero slam....The fantastic four deserve a movie of Spiderman or X-men quality.

[cmge]

mmmm Jessica Alba... DAAAAAMN... very xcited to c the movie now... hehehe...

btw did anyone c the old school fantastic four movie released by marvel in the 80's?... such a joke..

[thendless]

Acutally it was released just 10 years ago, in 94... apparently Marvel did EVERYTHING it could to pull it from going to the big screens... good decision i must say, it was certainly the lamest super hero movie. I love the ending when they show mr. fantastic stretching and waving his arm to everybody from the car, it looked so goofy and funny. I love it!

[cypherpunk]

that movei was done for $1m by roger corman, apparently cuz the company that owned the rights to FF was gonna lose it unless they made a movie... so i guess they did to keep it and make a movie later down the road, LOL

i think jessica albie is a hottie, but sorry, she doesn't look anything like what sue storm should... uhhh, brunette???

[Rometiklan]

I have no problems seeing Jessica Alba as Sue Storm. She'll do fine. I'm more concerned with the overall movie like a strong story, rather than who was cast to play Ms Fantastic.

[thendless]

AGREED.

Oh well, I dont expect much from this movie. Jack Kirby must be rolling in his grave.

[7-Endless]

Not expecting much from this movie either but I just saw the cast pics via Cinescape and Jessica doesn't look too bad as a blonde. Although since these are promo shots, she might look totally different in the actual movie stills/clips

[thendless]

I hope they at least integrate Kirby-tech into Reed's gadgets... if not... then BOO even more

[Degenerate]

Jessica Alba is damn hot but Fantastic 4 is http://home.comcast.net/~otuploads/Retouched/riaa.gif

Hi-res shot of Alba for your Wallpapers ;)

Official Trailer is now up (looks like they didn't cheap out on the special FX unlike Xmen 1):
http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantastic_four/

[trini]

Looking Real Good Man!

[cmge]

wow that looks pretty impressive... but i still think Jessica Alba as Sue Storm is still kinda out of place...

[b166er1337]

" 5 people will be changed, 4ever"
" 1 will be bad, 4 will be fantastic" ouch


even Lucas can write better dialogue than that!



seriously, even Jessica Alba'a ass can't save this pile of crap. Aferall, this is from the guy who directed Taxi (remake) and Barbershop :mad:


this movie made me appreciate so much more for ...


The Incredibles!!!

But that ain't Dialogue. Dialogue means: A conversation between two or more people (Dictionary.com).

That is a voiceoever for the trailer. Let's see the movie before we judge. This ain't Catwoman/Elektra. I thought Xmen and Hulk were ******** until I actually watched it . :)

i hope you are right; however, XMen and Hulk were directed by proven directors (Lee and Singer). FF4 is made by the guy who directed Taxi (yuck).

we learn nothing from the trailers besides that these people have cool superpowers. Will anyone who hasnt read the comics know which character is The Thing?
i certainly don't :(

Agreed - this trailer was absolutely awful, and the movie looks really cheesy.

Furthermore, they had to rewrite and reshoot the entire last part of the movie (after it was filmed) because they say it resembled The Incredibles too closely (something about how Mr. Fantastic does pretty much the same thing as Elastigirl when they are fighting Syndrome). That does not bode well. (too lazy to link the source but it was on darkhorizons a while back).

[Montague]

AGREED.

Oh well, I dont expect much from this movie. Jack Kirby must be rolling in his grave.
But Stan Lee is still around to no doubt take all of the credit for "creating" the Fantastic Four all by himself.

Just like he "created" all by himself Spiderman and the Hulk and the X Men

The way you hear him talk sometimes you would think to wrote drew and edited ALL the Marvel Comics. >:(

Guess guys like Kirby and Ditko made coffee and sharpened the pencils. :lol:

[Keyboard Cowboy]

At least the Spiderman movie gave credit to Ditko. :cheesygri

[ledorky]

Stan Lee must have one of the biggest egos in the world. Shameful how much he takes credit for creating every single Marvel Comic character in the 50's and 60s. From what I gather, all he was then was a great manager and not the creative genius he claims to be.

[FboyZ]

An ok teaser trailer... showed the action sequences... but that's about it... hope the movie doesn't suck.

[Montague]

Fantastic Four - comedy? Alba as Sue Storm!
regardless of whether she is or is not the right actress to play Sue Storm.

she can sit on my face anyday. :cheesygri

[Headhunter]

Amanda Tapping!!! Smart AND sexy... we know she's got all the scientific jargon down pat! (I like SG-1 a lot too) :)
And Canadian!

[akito925]

there or not... i know i'm gonna see it just for alba.... just like i did for dark angel, idle hands and even honey...

yep oh yeah! :D
