Fantastic Four
IESB is proflegating the rumor here that Fox is planning a "reimagining," with new cast and a new director. They say: "The franchise is looking to be 'less bubble gum' this time round following the 'Iron Man' template, which was a complete success in reviews and box office take but a bit darker when it came to its superhero. 'Iron Man' was in no way as dark as The Dark Knight but was funny, action-y as well as a bit on the serious side." I may never forgive "Dark Knight" for convincing all the pea-brains at the studios that for a Comic Book adaptation to be a hit it must be "dark!" Wait for that dark "Power Pack" film!
Chronicles of Riddick 3
Vin Diesel is quoted here in Comingsoon.net as saying that there is a third Riddick movie (discounting the animated "Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury") coming, this one also written and directed by David Twohy. Diesel said: "Maybe we're too tight-lipped about the next 'Chronicles of Riddick' film, and I think circa the release of [the video game 'The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena'] that's probably when you'll start hearing more about the next 'Riddick' film. It is underway and I almost think it's a coincidence that we haven't heard anything, that there hasn't been a lot of public stuff on the 'Riddick' movie."
