Comic Book Films & TV

Fantastic Four made 26 million and didn't even win the weekend, getting beat by Mission Impossible in its second week. Ouch.

I'll always enjoy the failure of a comic book movie when the director didn't give a shit about the source material. Fantastic.

It's not exactly shocking that Marvel Studio's adaptations of Marvel's comics are leagues above anybody else's but the Amazing Spider-Man series kinda sucking and then this debacle is a clear trend.

Fox should really just swallow their pride, do a Sony and enter some sort of deal with Marvel.

[I Don't Mind]

I like hearing the comparisons to other films for reference. The following is all C&P from various sites:

Fantastic Four (2015) came in well behind the first two films, Fantastic Four (2005) ($56.1 million) and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer ($58.1 million).

Fantastic Four did even less than 2011 flop The Green Hornet ($33.5 million).

In 2012, Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance, from Sony, launched to $22.1 million (that movie cost notably less to make). Green Lantern is still the biggest major superhero bomb in recent years grossing $21 million its opening day

Trank is the current guest on Fatman on Batman. He started talking FF on part three last week.

 

About FF starting off as Chronicle 2, he says he was asking for X-Men and they offered him FF instead.

I could not be more happy that Fantastic Four bombed. Fuck Josh Trank.

I think the biggest thing to come from it will be that studios will be very hesitant to to drastically sway from the source material when it comes to casting. I bet there's some delusional executive somewhere at Fox saying that people didn't see the movie because Michael B. Jordan was Johnny Storm.

This site has the first Black Panther pictures from the filming of the next Cap movie.

 

EDIT: And Fantastic Four's the gift that keeps on giving in regards to shenanigans. Josh Trank and Miles Teller almost got into a fight while filming, and Trank was basically an asshole towards mostly everybody, especially Kate Mara.

My money is on Iron Man's team.

Mads Mikkelsen could join Doctor Strange as the/a villain.

What really good actor will join the cast next!?

[Benjamin]

Oh man that would be the best possible casting.

Did anyone pick up Constantine for a second season? Or am I building myself up for nothing by watching season one?

Nope, it's been cancelled and doesn't seem to have any chance of revival.
