Ryn 1,286 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Are they still talking sequel(s)? Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowDog 2,168 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 If it keeps them the rights. Link to post Share on other sites
Ryn 1,286 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 How does holding onto rights when a film reviews (I haven't looked into performance numbers) this poorly? Is there inherent monetary value in that? Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 At the point I'm convinced that the new movie is Fantastic Four: Springtime for Hitler Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 0 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It's not spite. They honestly think they can make money off of this franchise, which astounds me. The deck was stacked against the FF from day one because of its inherent corny factor. I just don't see any way to make it work on film, and now that they've done this the odds of making any real money are worse than ever. Suits me just fine, though, because I always hated the comic. I'm just glad we won't have to see a crossover with the X Men. Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowDog 2,168 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It almost has to be spite. Four movies in this franchise and they all suck ass. Just let the ****ing rights revert. Jesus. Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Krawlie 5,902 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I don't even think marvel cares about the four anymore anyway. Bet your ass they want Doom, Surfer, and the rest of the cosmic characters, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Ryn 1,286 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 They'd likely do Galactus right. Link to post Share on other sites
Driver 4,539 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'd bet anything that the FF will be like Punisher and Ghost Rider and it will quietly return to Marvel. spider-man is too iconic to not go big with. marvel's plans are so worked out for years I don't see room for a FF movie. They'd fight for the X-Men, but not the FF. Meanwhile, Fox could easily put all their money into the x-men. There's enough characters and sub groups to build their own universe with.

Tex 0 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I guess but working the FF into Marvel is going to be a tough sell. Maybe a cameo in an Avengers flick where Thing and Hulk could go at it? To me the selling points of FF are Torch and Thing. If they can make an impact in a cameo role in a big Mavel flick I can understand another attempt to revive FF. Otherwise it just needs to die. Any way you cut it Plastic Man just sucks. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Glad my son is too young because I know I will cave on all movies he wants to see unless they're inappropriate for him. Link to post Share on other sites
Jacen123 1,876 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I'll see it eventually, though hopefully that won't be until it comes to tv. If I wasn't backlogged on other movies in the theater right now, though, I might otherwise be willing to go see it just because. Link to post Share on other sites
CoLA 132 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I would go since I have a thing for bad movies! The main reason I probably won't is because I'm sure it will leave theaters quick and hit home video in no time. Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Krawlie 5,902 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Apparently fox is handing out surveys after showings, asking people what they should do with the FF franchise. ****ing lol. Link to post Share on other sites
Driver 4,539 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 So they'll ask average movie goers before going to Marvel? Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Krawlie 5,902 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I imagine anyone with even the slightest bit of knowledge of movie rights will tell them to give/sell them back to Marvel. But yeah, pretty goddamn stupid. Is there any franchise Fox hasn't completely bungled at one point or another? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Why don't they try basing a movie on the comics? I know, stupid idea. Link to post Share on other sites
