Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot has been locked up tighter than Star Wars at this point, a rather impressive feat. It’s also received a ton of naysay, as people have just ripped into the project, giving it absolute grief. I don’t want to do that. I want to give Fantastic Four the benefit of doubt. I may be changing my …

Good news/Bad news. The two seem to be inseparable, and the movie business is definitely no exception to their calamitous duality. If you were hootin’ and hollerin’ about the decidedly good news this morning that Fox has greenlit and dated Deadpool at last, then here’s that obligatory bad news to go with it: Finally pencilling in the Merc With a Mouth Movie wasn’t the only change …

Fox was no exception, with veteran comic book writer Mark Millar being brought in 2012 to turn their X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises into a cohesive whole. …

Jordan is Johnny Storm” row still… er, burning up the narrow minded corners of the internets, some of the other casting for director Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four reboot has been overshadowed a bit.
