I thought they were just a whole bunch a grills on him, kind of like a warning to not get all up on him and such

What you can't see in the drawings is the new version of Ben Grimm is made of poop.

A metaphor film? Brilliant! Very artistic of Trank!

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

First look at the costume.

 

[Kamandi]

They should have done the Impossible Four from the Venture Bros.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Instead of the iconic F4 logo, he's got four lines

Hmm. Looks alright would be better if it was blue though. Betting the finals costumes will be

Wouldn't call it iconic, it's just a plain number.

Yeah, but it's inside a white circle.

I hope you're right but I can see this going down the black and gritty path. Again though I'm still not brimming with confidence with what I'm seeing. Need that trailer STAT!!!

Love these quotes from Trank regarding releasing info long before the movie is even near release..

If I was painting a picture I wouldn’t want to take a picture of a single paint stroke. I’d rather show people what it looks like when it’s done.

I feel like I know everything about a movie these days before it comes out. That’s why I haven’t said anything on Twitter. I am not giving anything up. The last thing I tweeted before I closed out my last twitter account was, and I’m paraphrasing, “I really miss the days where I didn’t know anything about a movie before it came out other than a trailer in the theaters, some spots on TV and maybe some pictures in a magazine.” Because it made me so much more excited about the movie I was going to see.

Nice damage control. Well crafted.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Was a great interview. Unlike most others I find it refreshing not to know 70% of any given blockbuster months or even years before release.

Like TWS being a political thriller with superheroes and First Class being a bond-esque movie with super-beings it looks like this will be an old skool sci-fi in the vein of movies where the protagonists go through a mutation via a science experiment and deal with the change in their beings.

The Fly being an inspiration has me intrigued

David Cronenberg is one of my all-time very favorite filmmaker. But for ****'s sake, Fantastic Four is one of the very last franchises that should shoot for being like a Cronenberg movie, after Superman. Be nice if, instead of Fantastic Four, this was Planetary, and so you could make the FF this disturbing, gritty, ****ed up incarnation without ****ting on the source material. But alas.

You can tell the same story in different tones though. Just because it's shooting for real-world sci-fi rather than unrealistic sci-fi doesn't automatically make it a less accurate Fantastic Four story.

For example Batman & Robin was fairly accurate aside from Barbara Gordon but had a kooky campy tone. If it had a more realistic tone it would still have been as accurate just presented differently.

My thoughts exactly.

Archie, on the other hand....

That's true. I mean the Superman just has a silly "s" and the X-Men just have a dumb ol' Roman numeral 10.
