Watch Conan Try To Figure Out Why ‘Fantastic Four’ Flopped

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Everyone on planet Earth already knows that Fox’s newly released Fantastic Four reboot is dismal (both in quality, and its box office performance).

Conan found it fairly surprising that the movie didn’t do better. To make viewers understand where he was coming from, he showed off a couple of new clips from the film, showcasing the movie’s incredible special effects, as well as the actors fantastic emotional range.

It’s a great watch, and might just help change your tune on Fantastic Four.

Take a look at the video below, and let us know what you thought of the film! If you’re looking for more Fantastic Four discussion, you should probably check out this week’s episode of Geekscape.

For Some Reason, Fox Is Still ‘Committed’ To ‘Fantastic Four’s Characters

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Well this is interesting.

Fox’s new Fantastic Four film has received nothing but hate since it was announced. Now that the film has finally released, it appears as though all of the negativity (or at least most of it) was warranted (listen to our thoughts on the film via the newest episode of Geekscape), and fans, moviegoers, and keyboard cowboys everywhere have already decided that this new films abhorrent reception and box office performance means that the rights are definitely headed back to Marvel.

Well, apparently not.

The studios chief of domestic distribution, Chris Aronson said the following to THR earlier today regarding the film’s performance, as well as the franchise’ future:

While we’re disappointed, we remain committed to these characters and we have a lot to look forward to in our Marvel universe.

Our Marvel universe. Sure sounds like they’re not ready to give up the ghost just yet, doesn’t it? Constantin Film also has until 2023 to release another Fantastic Four film before rights would revert back to Marvel, so I’m sure we’ll be seeing something from the IP in the coming years.

Have you seen Fantastic Four yet? What did you think? What do you hope happens to the franchise next? Sound out below!

New ‘Fantastic Four’ Clips Introduce, Well, The Fantastic Four!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It’s almost time for Fantastic Four! Sure, we still don’t know if it’ll be better or worse than the abysmal film from 2005 (my guess, much better), but I’m more interested in whether or not director Josh Trank can follow up 2012’s Chronicle with, well, something equally fantastic.

Today, Fox debuted four new clips for the film that introduce us to our heroes. Take a look below!

The clips each look to have a few seconds of new footage, and though the film has been getting a ton of internet hate (since long before we saw any footage), I think it looks pretty cool.

Are you looking forward to the film? Share your thoughts below! Fantastic Four opens on August 7th!

FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

Bell wore a motion-capture suit for the role and the end result looks much more convincing than Michael Chiklis’ costume from the 2005 and 2007 movies.

Are you excited for another Fantastic Four movie? Will you be there when it hits theatres August 7th or are you just going to stay home and watch The Incredibles again instead? Let us know in the comments below.

Check Out Four New Stills From Josh Trank’s ‘Fantastic Four’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following the film’s first teaser trailer from all the way back in January, TotalFilm has just debuted four new stills from Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four.

It’s been a long road for the controversial film, but I have to say that I’m looking forward to seeing Trank’s vision for the team. I was a big fan of Chronicle, so it’ll be great to see if he has another gem in him. In any case, this looks nothing like the previous Fantastic Four films, which can only be a good thing (and it really couldn’t be worse, could it?)

Take a look at the stills below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to the film. Fantastic Four hits theatres on August 7th.

The Teaser Trailer For ‘Fantastic Four’ Is Finally Here!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The long awaited teaser trailer for the controversial and heavily bashed Fantastic Four reboot is finally here… and we (or I , at least) actually kind of dig it (more than that Ant-Man trailer anyways).

The trailer shows our heroes in various facets of life before they become, well, fantastic, and then science happens, things go wrong, and superpowers are gained. It all looks very dark and ominous (which didn’t work for The Amazing Spider-Man, but definitely looks as though it could work here), and I really can’t wait to see more.

I also absolutely loved Josh Trank’s previous film, Chronicle, so this one gets points for having him involved. In any case, this looks nothing like the previous Fantastic Four films, which can only be a good thing (and it really couldn’t be worse, could it?)

Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! Fantastic Four hits theatres on August 7th!

They’ve also released some interesting commentary along with the trailer:

Toby Kebbell In Talks For ‘Fantastic Four’s Doctor Doom

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The upcoming Fantastic Four reboot’s controversial cast was revealed back in February, announcing our new heroes, but leaving out our new villain (both in character and actor).

According to Variety, The East and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes star Toby Kebbell is in negotiations to play Doctor Doom in the upcoming film. I’m sure that most of us had guessed that Doctor Doom would be the film’s antagonist, and… it looks like we were right and that Fox isn’t taking any more chances with the film.

We’ll be sure to let you know when it’s official, and to fill you in on any more Fantastic Four news as it surfaces.

Are you looking forward to the film? Why or why not? Sound out below!
