Movies FANTASTIC FOUR [2015] Thread v.2 (Dragonlord's Review)

[Francis Rossi]

My guess would be Armie Hammer based on the "he hoovered up gak." Armie was in the Clint Eastwood movie, J. Edgar, which was about J. Edgar Hoover.

I was thinking the same. I can't see it being Cavill, given he's Superman, a role they wouldn't trust to someone they view as a liability.

FANTASTIC FOUR Ends U.S. Theatrical Run with $56 Million!

After a nine week run, Fox and Josh Trank's Fantastic Four made a paltry $56,051,712. That's $10,000 less than what the first Fantastic Four movie made during its opening weekend in 2005.

Rumor: Marvel Studios Regains FANTASTIC FOUR Movie Rights!

Given that Fox's Fantastic Four reboot sputtered so dramatically over the summer, it's little surprise that the studio's redoubling its attention on a property with a proven history at the box-office: X-Men. X-Men: Apocalypse is due out next May, and it's a sequel director Bryan singer has called a "conclusion of six X-Men films, yet a potential rebirth of younger, newer characters."

More recently, Fox and Marvel have struck an unprecedented deal which will allow Fox to make two X-Men television series, Hellfire and Legion. Now, if you've been following the storied history of Marvel character rights, you'll know what a big deal this is, and that a considerable amount of behind-the-scenes bargaining must have taken place in order to make it happen. Within the past few hours, Den of Geek has been handed some information that may explain how Fox and Marvel arrived at that deal.

According to Den of Geek's source, Fox were given the TV rights for X-Men in exchange for Fantastic Four. The deal's been in the works for some time, and further, the timing of Marvel's recent announcement of its movie slate leading up to the year 2020 and the X-Men TV series is no coincidence.

You may remember that there are three, so-far untitled films on Marvel's schedule in five years' time. Den of Geek is told that one of those films is a Fantastic Four movie. Given the reception Fantastic Four received earlier this summer, it makes sense that Fox would be receptive to the idea of a deal with Marvel, particularly if it meant wresting something as major and lucrative as the X-Men TV rights from Marvel's grasp.

Booooo. F4 is cursed. Let it die.

Why would you even want the rights anyway? It's like buying a plot of land in a post apocalyptic radioactive waste land. You have to wait several decades for people to forget the first movies.

cameo's bruh

You might luck out and find some Mad Maxes living there?

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

I'll believe it only when it's official. In the meantime, I wish marvel had these rights for a while so they could have access to all the other characters whose rights are attached to FF, namely silver surfer and galactus. Both guys had big roles in the infinity gauntlet, so it would have been cool for them to be a part of the avengers infinity war movies. But even if the mcu had the FF rights back now, it's too late to try and include surfer and galactus.

Oh well :/

[PRIDEWASBETTER]

This has potential.

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Collider is debunking the rumor. The only point of contention is that Fox didn't have the TV rights all along as what Weintraub is saying since Fox still needed Marvel's consent to make a TV series.

 

[D Train]

Namor?

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Namor?

Namor is already with Marvel but there are some complications. It's probably a similar situation with the Hulk solo movie where Universal owns the distribution rights.

Kevin Feige Confirms NAMOR Movie Rights Back with Marvel...

Last May, rumors surfaced that Universal and Legendary were planning a Namor movie for their untitled 2016 project. When asked by IGN in a new interview if Legendary could make the Namor movie, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige flatly answered no. Furthermore, Feige confirmed that Marvel has the rights back but there are some complications. When asked if Marvel Studios would be the only one to make a Namor movie, Feige answered:

"Yes, but it’s slightly more complicated than that. Let’s put it this way – there are entanglements that make it less easy. There are older contracts that still involve other parties that mean we need to work things out before we move forward on it. As opposed to an Iron Man or any of the Avengers or any of the other Marvel characters where we could just put them in."

Created by writer-artist Bill Everett, Namor first appeared publicly in Marvel Comics #1 (Oct. 1939). The mutant son of a human sea captain and a princess of the mythical undersea kingdom of Atlantis, Namor possesses the super-strength and aquatic abilities of the Homo mermanus race, as well as the mutant ability of flight, along with other superhuman powers. The first known comic book antihero, the Sub-Mariner has remained a historically important and relatively popular Marvel character.

Jeeez! That movie was doomed from the start...






I'll let myself out.

I already forgot those horrible movies and can't wait for marvels versions

FF down...now lets try to get X-Men back

Sony can keep Spidey if they let Marvel use him at will

Woof. Those drops continue to be bad. The median weekend 4 drops are -44% (which are softer than weekend 3, at -49.4%. Fant4stic is doing -54.5%, which is almost exactly the same as last weekend's drop. In fact, it's doing so poorly it falls outside my current prediction data-set. So, relying on a best guess, it'll only pick up about $3mil more to it's total: finishing at about $55.7mil domestic.

Looks like my guess was pretty close, only off by 0.3mil. Really just an awful, awful, performance. I bet a lot of people lose their jobs over this one.

Fox Confirms FANTASTIC FOUR Rights Still Remain With Them

20th Century Fox has confirmed to ComicBook.com that the film rights to the Fantastic Four remain at the studio, despite rumors to the contrary.

The rumors followed yesterday’s announcement that two X-Men television pilots were being developed for Fox networks as a co-production between Fox Television and Marvel Television. The rumors implied that the Fantastic Four rights were traded to Marvel in exchange for the X-Men’s television rights. The rumor went on to suggest that one of Marvel Studios’ recently announced, but still untitled, 2020 films would be a new Fantastic Four film.

The X-Men television rights have rested at Fox for years already, so no trade was necessary, and the deal to bring the X-Men to television has been in the works since well before the Fantastic Four’s most recent box office disappointment. Transferring rights would also be a much more involved process than simply “trading” one for another, as rights arrangements such as the Fantastic Four’s usually involve hundreds of legal document pages and a similar number of characters, both formally listed and implied.

Finally, Marvel Studios and Marvel Television are two separate entities within the larger Disney Corporation, so it is possible that Marvel Studios had no active involvement in the X-Men television deal.
