The "Fantastic Four" Reboot Cast Confirmed And Then Fired Along With Crew?

Hey guys and gals, it's been a while but I'm back. I know I do this a lot......come and go but this time I'm going to make this work.
So, finally the cast of the 2015 "Fantastic Four" reboot have been confirmed and revealed. Michael B Jordan will play a black Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch. Personally I think Jordan cast as Torch is awesome because the guy is a great actor. I loved him in "Chronicle" and I don't care wither he's black or white to be honest because it's all about the actor being able to act, not the race of them. Anyway, back to the cast. We then have Miles Teller as Reed Richards aka Mr Fantastic, Kate Mara as Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman and finally Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm aka The Thing.
So Sue Storm is white and Johnny Storm is black so either they will be adopted brother and sister or step brother and sister or just their parents have been sleeping about, etc. I guess all will be revealed when the film is released. Miles Teller as Mr Fantastic.......couldn't get any better because he looks a lot like the young Reed Richards in the "Ultimate Fantastic Four" comics, so he'll suit the role. Brit, Jamie Bell on the other hand is very interesting because Ben Grimm has always been a big baldy guy but hey-ho.....Bell's a good actor so fuck it!!!
All in, the cast are pretty solid in my opinion. Now here's the interesting rumour that's appeared online.......20th Century Fox have reportedly sacked the cast, the director and the writer just about 5 months away from filming. Obviously nothing has been confirmed but it's rumoured that Fox aren't very happy with the way things are going with the direction of this highly anticipated 2015 comic book reboot.
And now onto the casting of Victor Von Doom aka Doctor Doom, well if this is going to keep going with the present casting choices and young actors.
Actors Sam Riley, Eddie Redmayne, Toby Kebbell and Domhnall Gleeson have all been rumoured to be in the running for the role of Doom in Trank's 2015 reboot. In my opinion, I don't think any of the above are good choices to be honest. Doctor Victor Von Doom is a hard role to cast because you want one sinister little fucker to be cast in the role and I just don't think any of the above can fill those shoes. Personally I would cast maybe someone a tad bit older like for example Zachary Quinto? Actually, Stephen Amell who plays the Green Arrow would be amazing even though he's a good guy usually.

"Project X" Star In Talks For Role In "Fantastic Four" Reboot!

Miles Teller, star of "21 & Over" and "Project X" has confirmed in an interview with Fandango that he is in fact in talks with 20th Century Fox over a role in Josh Trank's 2015 "Fantastic Four" reboot. The role he's in talks to playing...........Reed Richards aka Mr Fantastic.
When you look at him, he does look like a younger version of Mr Fantastic in the comics and seeing as this upcoming reboot is based around the "Ultimate Fantastic Four" comic book series, then yes, he's looking good enough for the role of younger 20 something year old Reed Richards.
Other actors such as Kit Harington and Jack O'Connell are rumoured to be up for the role of Reed Richards also. I would rather see Teller in the role rather than Harington and especially not O'Connell from "SKINS". I totally hate Jack O'Connell. He's like Danny Dyer........can only act like a hard man and that's it.......shite!!!

"Chronicle" Star Cast As New Human Torch?

Michael B Jordan, star of Josh Trank's "Chronicle" has reportedly been cast as the new 2015 rebooted version of the Human Torch in Trank's "Fantastic Four: Reborn" reboot. Jordan has been rumoured for ages and now it seems as though he's been cast, well according to plenty of online and close sources to 20th Century Fox, he's been cast.
In my opinion, Michael B Jordan is a great actor. I loved him in "Chronicle" but I don't know if I can see him playing the Johnny Storm aka Human Torch. It's fine that he's black but it's the fact that names such as Saoirse Ronan, Margot Robbie and Kate Mara have all reportedly read for the role of Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman. The problem there is that they are all white women. So how is this going to work in the movie? Sue and Johnny are step brother and sister? One of them are adopted? It's a bit annoying because then they'd have to set that all up rather than just do a normal big screen reboot. Hopefully Fox and Trank will make the right decision when it comes to making the film. This version of the much loved superhero family has to work this time around.

"Chronicle" Star Up For "Fantastic Four" Role?

"Chronicle" star Michael B Jordan is rumoured to be up for the role of Johnny Storm in Josh Trank's 2015 "Fantastic Four" reboot. Personally I think this would be a very interesting casting seeing as a white girl is being cast as Johnny's sister, Sue. How could this be done? They could be half brother and sister or even adopted? Either way, Jordan was great in "Chronicle", so this could work.

Actress For Role Of Sue Storm Been Found?

It's been reported that casting is now under way over at Fox for their upcoming 2015 reboot of the superhero family, "Fantastic Four". First role that looks like it's going to be cast is the role of Mr Fantastic's wife, Sue Storm aka The Invisible Woman. Fox are reportedly looking at "Girls" actress Allison Williams to play the lead female role.
I personally can't say much on Williams as I don't watch that show "Girls", but she does look good and I've read and heard good things about her in that show. The good thing is that she looks and sounds as though she can act, which is better than last Sue Storm, played by Jessica Alba. She was just cast because she was hot, but she really can't act for shit. Allison Williams has the best of both worlds......she's hot and she can act!!!

"Chronicle" Director Set For "Fantastic Four: Reborn" Film?

There are rumors that "Chronicle" director, Josh Trank is the front-runner for the "Fantastic Four: Reborn" directing job. It's been said that Fox are waiting to see how his new superpowers film, "Chronicle" does before making him the "FF" reboots official director.
I just watched the trailer for his new film the other day and I have to say that it looks amazing. It's like a cam-corder film, with found footage of these groups of teens who get superpowers and I think one turns evil, but I'm not sure until I see the it when it comes out in early February.
