FOX to reboot Fantastic 4 and Daredevil
Meh...
http://www.deadline.com/2012/07/comi...aredevil-redo/ While 20th Century Fox isn’t banging the gong at Comic-Con this year, the studio has big developments on several geek-worthy projects. * Fox has officially set Chronicle helmer Josh Trank to direct the reboot of Fantastic Four, and the film will be the next Marvel property to be slated for production and dated for release by the studio. Fantastic Four, which will include a new cast, falls into line after The Wolverine sequel that starts production shortly, and the Matthew Vaughn-directed X-Men: First Class, which is also on a fast track. After Trank’s breakthrough with the Fox sleeper hit Chronicle he has been offered everything and attached himself to several projects. But I’m told that Fox expects Fantastic Four to be the next film he directs. Fox is looking for a director on its other major Marvel reboot, after David Slade just dropped out of Daredevil. The studio has a script it likes, but has to get the film into production by fall or contractually risk having the the property revert to Marvel Studios and Disney. Slade could not make the timing work as he is directing the pilot of the series Hannibal. |

F4 was ok, but DD was one of the worst movies ever made.

Fantastic 4 was a giant pile of crap. I've said it before, and I'll say it again... if a piece of crap dropped a piece of crap, and that piece of crap dropped a piece of crap, that would be Fantastic Four. That's Crap3.

I won't be seeing these in theaters, that's for sure. Has FOX ever made a good superhero flick? Kind of ****ed up of me to say, but I want FOX to crash and burn on these bad boys. Give the rights back to Marvel and let someone do it right.

I have still never seen it, but some say the directors cut makes daredevil good. I just can't see how a little bit of extra footage turns a crap movie to good?

it's pathetic
they can't think of anything else to make movies about so they are just 'rebooting' everything.

It is one thing to reboot something that happened 20 years ago, but they are jumping on these so fast that it is unbearable. I grew up with spiderman as one of my fav's, but I didn't even have the thought of seeing this reboot in the theater.

It's "smart" fiscally for these studios to do reboots in a rough economy, mainly because these franchises are proven commodities with fanbases already in place.
I for one don't agree with the practice, but I'm not the one in charge. |

Would love to see some alt history books out there get made into a movie or movie series. But Hollywood will chose another Adam Sandler movie (even though every one of his movies is just a repackaging of his previous movies) to cram down our throats.
