Even though he's been locked in for a few weeks, it finallly broke over at Latino Review that 20th Century Fox and Marvel are going with "Barbershop" & "Taxi" director Tim Story to helm the superhero movie based on the comic "The Fantastic Four".

The choice has admittedly raised a few eyebrows, mostly over the fact that a director so notable for lower-budget comedy has been picked to take on the mega-FX filled project which is seen as Fox's tentpole pic next Summer (short of "Star Wars" of course.

Filming begins in August, whilst TV's The Shield star Michael Chiklis is apparently up for the role of Benjamin Grimm (The Thing) and Tim Robbins is being eyed to play Dr. Doom.

Also, scribe Michael France talked about the state of his most recent draft of the script recently to Screenwriter's Voice.

Interesting choice, eh?
