Fantastic Four 2 confirmed
Filed under: Casting, Newsstand, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels
After months of pretending they had no idea what the internet was talking about, Fox has come forward with the shocking news that a Fantastic Four sequel is indeed in the works. The timing of this announcement, coming the same day as the X3 trailer and a mere 24 hours before the DVD release of the first installment, is guaranteed to send fanboys into a comics frenzy.So, for those of us out of the comics loop, here are the important details: first, the entire cast is back (yes, boys, including Jessica Alba). Second, the release date is a not surprising July 4, 2007, exactly three years after the original was schedule to come out (though it was eventually pushed back a week because of a very reasonable fear of Tom Cruise). Third, director Tim Story and writer Mark Frost are back. There is still, however, no confirmation of villains, apart from the confirmation that Julian McMahon will not be back. Excellent - a lack of details means you are now free to return to your discussion of moles.

With a release date of July 4, 2007 I guess their hoping to ride on the coat tails of Spider-Man 3 which is set to come out on May 4, 2007. I wonder how long it'll take them to change the date if Spidey slides back again?

did anyone actually like the first one? I've only heard it was crap. I guess I'll get to find out after finals, if I have a spare free rental coupon. Don't really want to be spending money on it.
