Fox to reboot 'Fantastic Four' franchise
Published Tuesday, Mar 10 2009, 21:56 GMT | By Simon Reynolds
According to IESB.net, the studio will completely overhaul the superhero series, replacing stars Jessica Alba, Ioan Gruffudd, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis and director Tim Story.
2005's Fantastic Four and its sequel Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer pulled in more than $600 million at the worldwide box office but were largely panned by critics and met with ambivalence by Marvel Comics fans.
Fox is reportedly planning to take a "less bubble gum" approach to the characters, with the new movie being similar in tone to Iron Man.
