    FANTASTIC FOUR movie blues

    There's been two new developments to report about 20th Century Fox's long in gestation superhero flick, FANTASTIC FOUR.

    Movie website JoBlo spoke with DOWN WITH LOVE director Peyton Reed, who's also attached to helm the FOUR movie, and uncovered a surprising fact: there's no script. Reed told the website that Doug Petrie's FF script has been junked and a new one commissioned from TWIN PEAKS co-creator Mark Frost. Reed also told JoBlo that, contrary to any reports elsewhere (and remember this when we move on to the next paragraph), any kind of casting decisions were not in the cards until they had a script everyone was happy with. Based upon how many writers have taken a swing at doing an FF screenplay now, we might still be years away from seeing a greenlight.


    Which makes Marvel's latest comments even more curious. During a conference call held yesterday to discuss first quarter earnings for the company, CEO Avi Arad said that the FANTASTIC FOUR film was currently being targeted for a November 4, 2004 release. That's just 18 short months away kids, and unless Arad knows things we're not privy to, it's hard to imagine the script being finished, the movie being cast, sets constructed, filming wrapped and special effects completed by 11/4/04.

    well i hope they do this movie.

    Okay... well, the script can be done in 2 months I would say.. Geroge Clooney is in serious talks to be Mr. Fantastic... Get Matt Damon as Human Torch, Renee Zellweger as Invisible Woman, and John C. Reilly as The Thing. Start VFX work NOW, start shooting in October, and it can be done by November. For all that to work, it needs to be done flawlessly, but it can be done.

    seems a bit rushed though. Not enough time for a good ad campaign either.
    If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos...then you probably haven't completely understood the seriousness of the situation.
