The Fantastic Four

[Crusader]

It's gonna be lame.

 

That's all.

[S.E. Hardy]

I seem to have a weakness for comic book movies (strange since I've never even read a comic book). Most of them aren't good films, but as a movie they tend to be great fun.

[Dan #1]

Isn't it called "the incredibles" ?

 

Should be good *hides in shame*

[Crusader]

That's a whole other movie.

[Dan #1]

Is it a rip off? .... okay hold on

 

Gimme a site to show this "fantastic four" movie... and the difference of the "incredibles"

[pearanoid]

The Incredibles is the new Pixar movie coming out this fall.

 

Fantastic Four is based on the hugely popular comic and is being shot right now in Vancouver.

 

Check out IMDB.com to get some details.

[Crusader]

They're filming this in Vancouver.

[S.E. Hardy]

They film a lot of stuff in Vancouver--it's really hurting the trades people here.

[pearanoid]

How is the Vancouver film industry hurting the trades people?

[S.E. Hardy]

Because a lot of the major productions get filmed there, and they don't take gaffers and best boys and set dressers with them from LA to Canada, they just get people from Canada. So people (some literally third or fourth generations on sets) have a lot harder time finding good paying or union work.

[pearanoid]

The Vancouver Film industry is nothing new and I really can't see how it's hurting anyone now. It's been around for decades. True it's seen a lot of growth in the past few years, but there still lots of work in LA for all the trades people who work their.

 

I was only curious about where you were coming from because I work in the VAncouver film industry and I just don't see the connection to your point.

i can see it....we have one pie...the great pie of "fim industry"...unfortunately only so many movies make up the pie...time was most of these peices were in california...now though many pieces are in Vancouver or Toronto in Canada...or Australia or New Zealand...that means an economy based around having most of the pie is now shrinking and laying people off....which is tradgic...but you know people in vancouver who didnt have jobs have them now....i guess its the way of the world, all great empires fall...and it just means california has to diversify its busines....BC used to have a booming forestry economy but that is rapidly declining...but movies are being made here and thats off setting it a bit... c'est la vie! (sp?)

 

 

oh and i heart comic movies...i grew up with comics, especially marvel ones...so i will have fun

 

apparently they want to make an ironman one now too...with tomc ruise as tony stark...and X3 was already filmed

[pearanoid]

Well said.

 

And I actually have a friend working on the movie and he said it looks pretty damn cool. I think it'll be pretty impressive visually, even if the story is a bit lacking.

[Boond]

like most of the other comic book movies?

[Dan #2]

it's going to be like the Hulk... boo~urns

[Bladeso]

have you seen jessica alba though?? she might make the movie

[Boond]

SHE is in fantastic four !!! *drools*

 

i was channel surfing and stumbled upon Dark Angel...it was pleasant

[Moonlight_Graham]

"Its clobberin' time!!"

 

I can't see the FF being a good comic for a movie. They are so dated. What about the Avengers, or Iron Man, or Silver Surfer?

[pearanoid]

None of them are as well known to the masses.

[Boond]

well the avengers is like EVERYONE...hell spiderman was an avenger for a while....and they are working on making an iron man movie...if the rumor mill is being honest they are thinking of tom cruise as Tony Sark
