Director Tim Story Comments On FANTASTIC FOUR Reboot

I think everyone who patrons this site can agree that Tim Story is a hack and his F4 movies are as bad as CBMs can get.

Unwatchable garbage

FOX ruined the Fantastic Four film franchise.

Booooo Fox

I disagree, he's not a hack, he made a good ff movie, it was just targeted at the family and young adult audience.

And I mean that with all my heart, Tim Story :)

Galactus Fart-Cloud?

LMAO!!!!

Who cares what the director of two terrible FF movies wants to see in a FF reboot?

I really, really want the FF to return to Marvel where they belong. Before it wasn't such a big deal, but the way they're heading it HAS to happen.

I really hope they cast Amber Heard as Sue.
She's exactly how I picture Sue. Quite a bit younger than Reed, but definitely beautiful and intelligent and I think Amber can certainly portray a great balance between beauty and brains as well as the fierce compassion and determination of Sue.

Alot of people don't understand that its not always the directors fault as to why as CBM fail. Most times its the investors involved. They want the movie to be a success because they want to see a return on their money. But they want to have a certain level of control and start thinking they are experts and giving orders to something they know nothing about.

The WB gave Nolan the space to work. Whedon also but to extent. I think they could've did better than this on the FF4 movies. It looked like the studio was too much involved.

I can't bear watching his Fantastic Four films, but I have to agree with him on using the Ultimate storyline for inspiration. But then, I never really took to the Four until I picked up the first hardcover volume of Ultimate.

i always pictured george clooney as MR fantastic i dont know why i just do...is that stupid

no thanks to ultimate fantastic four.

These movies were pretty bad. Never read Ultimate FF, but I personally would like a more cosmic FF. Let Doom's story unfold a bit more and have another villain to concentrate on.

The FF are boring imo, so I hope a reboot isn't made

@jazzman. Yes it is.

Asking Story what he would like to see in the new FF film is like asking Schumacher what he would liked to see in TDKR. He had his shot at the FF and blew it. Cumulogalactus? Please.

How to do the new film right: Do the origin the way Lee and Kirby did it (FOUR people in a rocket trip that doesn't go as expected, that EMBRACE their newfound powers and decide to use them for the good of mankind. Give Doom his proper origin as we saw in FF Annual 2- this can be simplified and done in a couple of minutes. Most important of all: give it a feel like the Avengers- a film that embraces its comic-book origin and celebrates all that is cool about comic books, rather than acting embarrassed at its source and ruining everything that made the FF one of Marvel's cornerstone franchises to this day. The second one wasn't as bad- Torch and the Thing's interactions were funny and well written.

The worst part of these movies was Dr. Doom's motivation. He's upset because Reed stole his girl. Wow. What a pussy. How do you make such a great villain stoop to such a demeaning, immature low? Of all the horribly portrayed villains in comic book movies, Dr. Doom is the worst offender. Simply because of how the character's dignity was stripped away. That is the most unforgivable part of these horrendous movies.

i liked the second one, but i suppose that is compared to shit. just some moments i thought were kind of cool. like seeing the team working with the military. felt bigger in scope. the effects were pretty cool, although there were some really weak points.

and doom was a little more doom like.

maybe if they attempted a more honest silver age throw back it could have worked, but what came out was just dumb movies.

¡¡¡FANTASTIC FOUR REBOOT!!!. ...¡¡¡NOW!!!

¡¡¡JULIAN MCMAHON AS DR. DOOM!!!. ...¡¡¡NOW!!!

Both FF films are pretty good, despite some flaws. Rise of the Silver Surfer wasnot a "solid hit for the studio" or else Tim Story would have made a third one. I'm sure everyone was already signed so it would just have been a matter of doing it.

The first film made the studio around $50M, the second lost about the same. It had nothing to do with "the nature of the business to reboot every few years".

The previous FF movies were terrible, I must admit I never understood why Hollywood needs to destroy old movies by making reboots it makes no sense.

The best thing about teh Tim Story films is The Thing and Johnny Storm, and their relationship. That aspect was completely nailed in both films.

I also thought the Silver Surfer effects were pretty cool.

I agree that the ending was BS.

@CherryBomb

yeah Jessica Alba was young but i never liked that shes was casted as Sue.

but god damn thats mr fantastic
