Fox Rebooting Fantastic Four franchise

According to Variety, the F4 are getting a reboot! I, for one, didnâ€™t mind the movies. I think Gruffudd and Chiklis played their parts exceptionally well. Now, the kicker is, the reboot will be produced by Academy Award winnerâ€¦Akiva Goldsman. If the name doesnâ€™t sound too familiar, he won the Oscar for his Adapted Screenplay for A Beautiful Mind. He also is the mastermind behind the Batman & Robin script. The writer (with apologies for the earlier mis-read) is Michael Green, who is known to comic fans as a writer from both Smallville and the upcoming Green Lantern film, as well as writing Superman-Batman at DC Comics.

I'm of two minds about this. I agree the FF films need a reboot but I don't know about the cast or the producers. I thought Chiklis, Evans, Grufford, and even Alba were okay in the film. They did their best to sell a movie with a shitty story and their acting wasn't that bad either. Dunno how I feel about the father of "Batman & Robin" being a producer on another comic film...

This is definitely not a selling point.

You don't reboot something by throwing clumps of shit at it.

Hopefully Christopher Nolan's rebooting of the Batman franchise is blazing a trial for how to reboot a franchise the right way.
