Very true and we do have FF to thank for Amazing Grace it would seem.

I know the road has ended for Fantastic Four in its Ioan-form, but I don't believe we've seen this interview on IZ and I found it interesting for other reasons.....see what you think......? http://www.collider.com/entertainment/interviews/article.asp/aid/6052/tcid/1/pg/1

I listened to the interview rather than to read it and I loved that. You can really hear the nuances, pauses for thought, emphasis, even the fidgeting and movement. Thanks so much, Stevie. It is interesting to hear Ioan speak about the changes he'd like to see in FF and whether or not he'd play another superhero type character. Sounds like his heart is with playing characters and stories that have meaning to the audience, yet realizes the practicalities of playing characters that will help him develope a higher profile. Ok. - every now and then I think I'm hearing nervous rubbing hands on pant legs like he mentioned in Star Secrets. Cute. Old habits die hard and we all carry our little nervous tics with us, don't we?. :mrgreen:

I also listened to the interview rather than read it, as I love to ear the nuances, pauses for thought, emphasis and even the fidgeting and movement. Thanks, Stevie.

Glad you enjoyed it, ladies! I agree with all you've said - a recording to treasure! :cool:

A word of advice for those who wish to keep the recording to listen to offline, though I'm sure you all know about this possibility: if you right-click (or crtl-click, for the Mac users) on the link to the interview, you can save the interview to your computer as an mp3 file.

Thanks, Frances.

Once again talk about an FF reboot is in the air. The latest news is that Disney bought the Marvel Comics properites. This article in walesonline explains some of complications that are happening and why Fox is in such a rush to get FF going again. Will this be FF part 3 made with part, all, or none of the original cast and director? Just a new direction? Or will it be a totally new production with everyone replaced? I'm not sure even the major players or their agents could say with certainty right at the moment. However I do agree with critic Martin Anderson in this article. Don't recast, just work on making the story the best it can be. http://walesonline.co.uk/news/cardiff-news/2009/09/02/deal-not-so-marvellous-for-actor-ioan-91466-24585036/

Hello. :) I would be sad if Ion isn't in the new film.

Me, too!

Yes that wouldn't be fair replacing the casting.

At present,I wouldn't have any interest in seeing a reboot of the movie(s). The loss of the Gruffudd-Alba-Chiklis-Evans team would not be at all the same for me----so,go ahead guys,make your remake (so SOON after these others!!)----I'll save my money.

Much as I enjoyed FF and FF2 (in spite of their flaws), I don't think either I would go see FF3, if they recast it. I agree, too, with what the critic said about the need of a good storyh and a good script rather than a new cast for a possible FF3 to be successful.

I won't go and see the movie without Ioan. Definitely. I dislike when people are changed in sequels. Like for "Batman Begins" then "The dark knight" without Katie Holmes etc...
