I'll probably pick this one up at the video store the same day that I go get "The Kingsmen".

FF is already a tough sell and the Fox made even more difficult. |

Well one 90% is bs. Every little boy to teen will know the background. Every geek or nerd man will know the background. Who do you think it the core group that watches this on opening night that brings their kids or spouses? They are often the prescreeners. They deem the movie shit, it tanks to the casual fans you talk about because they go off reviews. and it is fine to alter origin, just be smart. Changing one persons race in a family is not it. As for dark knight, i guess i must of seen a dufferent movie, all the characters were basically spot on outside of a mumbling bane. |

Oh, I'm sure there would be some fan boy grumbling, like the casting of the always excellent Ebis Eldra in Thor but IMO, this was an unnecessary stunt that pissed off Fantastic Four's core fans.
And trust me, it was a stunt. Fox didn't want to lose FF (for the life of me, I can't figure out why not) and after two mediocre at best films a decade ago, are trying something "different". If Fox isn't playing to FF's core fans, who are they playing to? How is changing the mythology going to attract new fans? How does this advance the story forward? Is he going to have some incredibly interesting back story that changes the entire mythology? It's a ploy, plain and simple. Whether it works or not remains to be seen. |

I think the Marvel 'brand' holds so much value these days that FOX keeps holding on to the FF rights

This is Fox's last shot, IMO. With Marvel killing the comic, Fox will need a mega-hit or they'll just end up negotiating a deal with Marvel/Disney, much like Sony is doing with them for Spiderman. At that point, I could see crossover but no further need for yet another stand alone movie. |

If they have a white Sue Storm and a black Johnny Storm, that would be weird. However, if Sue and Reed are already married in the movie and Johnny Storm is just part of the crew (it looks like he is a mechanic), it could work. It never really made any sense that Sue's teenaged brother would be on the space crew anyway.
