So We Know What GALACTUS Will Look Like Now...

Wow by dejectedgeek	Apr 18th, 2007 03:50:49 AM
Just.....wow.
Well, at least... by Matthew Domville	Apr 18th, 2007 03:52:13 AM
Fishbourne will be voicing the stormcloud. That's something, right? No... It's not. You're right.
A pissin storm cloud?!? by iamjacksleftball	Apr 18th, 2007 03:55:57 AM
Is that the best they could come up with? Jesus Christ just leave Galactus out of it altogether if you are going to fuck it up this badly.
holy crap... by Hyphin	Apr 18th, 2007 03:56:05 AM

There is little place called Europe..its 10am here.

What needs to happen... by 69DUDE	Apr 18th, 2007 03:59:05 AM
Upon reading this, I now wish the real Galactus would show up. Fuck Rothman in the ass repeatedly, while the Surfer beats him around the face with his surfboard. This needs to happen.
Ah yes... by Hyphin	Apr 18th, 2007 04:00:34 AM

Well, let me be first to say it.... by Gabba-UK	Apr 18th, 2007 04:06:28 AM
with all the vitriol it needs. That's just fucking stupid!!!!! Even I, with my VERY limited knowledge of FF, knows that the very concept of Galacticus is not best served with a bit of inclement space weather!!! You know what this sounds like. Rothman was watching The Neverending Story in a moment of madness where he thought watching a good movie instead shitting out bad ones might be a good idea. Saw the Nothing and thought wow having Galacticus look like like but sound like Fishbourne will really be something special.... what a fucking dick-head!!!!!
The giant touched him all over... by Boba Fat	Apr 18th, 2007 04:07:42 AM
they can't help it. Their hands are so big that even a friendly pat on the back covers inappropriate areas. Anyway, "FF2 The Rise of the Cloud" doesn't have the same ring to it. Can't wait for the action figure though.
So Galactus is the Nothing from Neverending Story by Ozy	Apr 18th, 2007 04:08:27 AM
What kinda douchebag takes one of the more bad ass villians in comic history and turns him into a frickin weather patern. I know by some miracle X3 wasn't a complete clusterfuck despite Rothman's mishandling and sadly that just makes him think he was right. Despite the medicore first Fantastic Four film the trailers for the sequel have gotten me intrested, now this turd drops in the punchbowl pinched from Rothman's ass. Even that would have made a better Glactus then a cloud.
Well Crap... by AklundR	Apr 18th, 2007 04:08:56 AM
I was wishing that they would just take Galactus off of the comic pages and throw him in the movie as is. But after thinking about it maybe it's not such a bad idea after all. I could never imagine that this "Fantastic Four" could ever stand up in any way to a planet eating giant such as Galactus.

A fucking STORM CLOUD? by LordEnigma	Apr 18th, 2007 04:10:43 AM
Okay. The end of this film is supposed to be his arrival, but not his appearance. So maybe the big freakin storm cloud is the intergalactic version of his Escalade? See? It makes sense. IT MAKES TOTAL FUCKING SENSE! Yeah, this hokey. Good going Tom. You dicked away more of Rupert's money. Sir, you are no Sir Howard Stringer.
Hey, what if it's the Warren Ellis nanocloud? by overtime	Apr 18th, 2007 04:13:17 AM
Ultimate gah-lak-tus, anyone? Now that'd be terrifying. But if it's a storm cloud like, "just a bunch of fucking black clouds" stormcloud, then yes, this is terrible. I wanna see some photos, because, c'mon, I don't think anyone's gonna take a giant purple man seriously.

And of course not forgetting... by smellmycheese	Apr 18th, 2007 04:13:23 AM
that Europe is a continent, not a country, which also spans several time zones... so it's not actually 10am in Europe... but it is at least 10am-ish in the UK (snarf snarf) [pushing spectacles up nose]. Anyways...! A cloud, huh?! Well fuck me. Genius.

How to ruin a franchise, by Fox. Part .....umm lots. by DarthScotland	Apr 18th, 2007 04:25:18 AM
Never really cared too much about F4 thankfully but it seems they've killed this franchise off too, for a studio all about making money they don't seem to know how to do it very well.
So, I'm not alone with my Nothing theory.... by Gabba-UK	Apr 18th, 2007 04:25:50 AM
I thought that in a moment of spleen venting I was being harsh. But no, Rothman really is a cock sucker of the very highest calibre. This is a good attribute for a street corner pro not for the boss of a major Hollywood studio. Do you remember the days when Fox had men of vision in charge who took a chance and defended it. I think we got Star Wars by doing that. Now they give us fucking rain clouds for our bad guys... wankers!!
The only thing that can save FF2:ROTSS now... by Det. John Kimble	Apr 18th, 2007 04:27:06 AM

A FUCKING RAINCLOUD?!?!?! by wolvenom	Apr 18th, 2007 04:33:04 AM
Seriously why dont you just cut galactus's dick off already? HOW MENACING!!! OOOOOOOOOH HOW SCARY!!! A PLAMSA RAINBOW COLORED RAINCLOUD WITH LIGHTENING BARING DOWN ON EARTH!! SOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING SCARY! HAHAHAHAHAH. I bet it'll look exactly the same as that fucking abomination energy rainbow in Stark Trek: Generations' In other words space barf. THEY COULD HAVE ATLEAST GONE WITH THE FUCKING ULTIMATE GALACTUS! FUCK YOU FOX AND FUCK YOU ROTHMAN YOU CUNTBAGS! FORGET TRANSFORMERS!!!! THIS TRUMPS THEM ALL IN DISGRACE.
To be fair an Alba nude scene could save any movie!! by Gabba-UK	Apr 18th, 2007 04:36:34 AM
Except perhaps this one. A fucking rain cloud... I'm sorry but I can't get over this.

I agree, why not use Ultimate Galactus by Affleckwasthebomb	Apr 18th, 2007 04:39:17 AM
I'm no massive old school FF fan and Galactus always looked a little silly to me. But Ultimate Galactus is awesome. I think it was an extremly good idea of how to make Galctus more beleivable if you will(I know it's foolish to talk about believeability in a comic movie but you know) I thought it worked well and for some thing like the movie it would of worked wonders. Could you imagine seeing all those things stretched out across space. It would of been awesome. now we get a cloud....oh well.
cause a giant raincloud is cheaper... by wolvenom	Apr 18th, 2007 04:46:36 AM
The most expensive obviously being making galactus as he is in the comics, next least expensive would be making ultimate galactus, after that the next least expensive would be painting galactus's face on a bed pan tying it to a stick and waving it in front of the camera, then the cheapest obviously being a giant mother fucking raincloud.

the threat, the impending doom. People are just going to look out of their windows and think "Shit, it's going to rain today." Not "holly fuck, we're all going to die" Galacticus is the eater of worlds for fuck sake. I'd love to have been in the room when they came up with this. Just to see how they justify it and talk them selves into thinking they could make a cloud cool.

I have a bad feeling about this by boyblue	Apr 18th, 2007 05:05:01 AM
I can just see the Silver Surfer at the end of this film doing a singing in the rain routine with a nasty big rain cloud above him? Oh the Shame!!
trying to optimistic about this... by Conman2478	Apr 18th, 2007 05:07:41 AM
here's an idea, running parallel with the whole "nothing" concept from The Neverending Story, which although unoriginal, sort of relates to the Ultimates version of Galcatus, who was actually made up of a giant swarm. What if this cloud started forming at the climax of the movie, destorying and disinigrating everything in it's path, and slowly started to reveal the popular form of Galctus that we're all familiar with? Galactus is, after all, nothing but the projected fear of destruction that the world he's destroying percieves. There's a way that they could still pay homage to idea of Galctus, making him frightening as all hell, and still base him in some sort of realistic fashion, instead of having him approach Earth in his big purple helemt. We all know that looks great in the comics, but could they really pull off that image on film? I don't know...I can't stand Tom Rothman, but with all of the imagery i've seen so far on this flick, I can't imagine that they'd make Galactus a puny little rain cloud that we get to deal with every day. No...I have a feeling there's a lot more to this description than what everyone's first impression seems to be.
You know what they say.... by FUZZYWOOKIEE	Apr 18th, 2007 05:08:15 AM
Every cloud has a Silver Surfer. Wait, WTF!! Oh that is just lame, hopefully the cloud will at least be purple. crosses fingers
I dont post often, but.... by Uridium	Apr 18th, 2007 05:09:29 AM
WTF!!! How 'tarded is this? I was just getting to the point of giving this movie a chance after the turd that was the 1st one... and they ruin the little bit of coolness that the Silver Surfer has brought to the table!
Solution by NiolK	Apr 18th, 2007 05:10:50 AM
Just do a big pair of robot feet with the rest of him hidden by clouds. Even that'd be better than vengeful cumulus and it's not technically a giant robot.
Rape by NachoNegro	Apr 18th, 2007 05:18:18 AM
And the rape of the FF continues. This FF bears little resemblance to the FF we know and love. An 'ethnic' angle in there I can understand. Alicia being black. Sue Storm being 'a little ambiguous'. After all, time has moved on. I could even look past the so-so Ben Grimm suit. But Doom was made into a buttfaced turd in the first movie, and now they're making galactus a space-going fart cloud... Unforgivable. You tools can sit there and rip one out of Singer all you want, but at least he respects and loves the source material. Tim Story really couldn't give a shit.
" I will devour your world!" by bender7	Apr 18th, 2007 05:20:06 AM
Pffftt. With what? Cloud power? Shut up Cloudy McCloud-face
Conman2478 by TheNorthlander	Apr 18th, 2007 05:20:25 AM
The "Nothing" in The Never Ending Story was the absence of something - like if you have a forrest, and there's a lake in the forrest that "The Nothing" takes, that means you would only have a forrest. That's because people's imagination is starting to disapear in the world. "A giant swarm" would be "A Something", a raincloud or a thunderstorm would be "a something", rojected fear of destruction would also be "a something". it's not at all like "The Nothing" in The Never Ending Story.
You were warned you bitching fan-boy's ! by kingralphuk	Apr 18th, 2007 05:22:24 AM

Rothman should be left at the school in "Suspiria"... by FilmCritic3000	Apr 18th, 2007 05:43:12 AM
Jessica Harper, you heard me. Now get to it. I can't believe she's married to such a no-nothing shit for brains like Rothman. I will buy the most expensive bottle of champagne and have the biggest celebration when that no-talent fuck is no longer the head of 20th Century Fox. He's ruined far too many movies, from pre-production to, well hell, the entire damn process. Witness the cinematic atrocity that was "X-Men: The Last Stand". How Rothman's not on trial in The Hague along with Bush is beyond me.

I meant "know-nothing shit for brains". Proofreading. I should really start doing that more often.

Smokey from Lost needs work too you know. by Fish Tank	Apr 18th, 2007 05:48:21 AM
It's hard out there for him. He's tired of second-rate parts in anti-smoking campaigns and making guest appearances in fire prevention commercials. We all know he can act - did you see how he conveyed anger when he killed Ekko? That my friends, is some seriously good stuff. Just by reading the above posts, you all obviously have a bias against anything smoke (especially "black" smoke - ineteresting that noone makes an issue about white smoke in wizard movies), so the cards are already stacked against him. Why don't we all just give him a chance and see what he can do? I am disappointed that that Fishburne had to do the voiceovers, but if done right, it could work.

Sir Rupert Murdoch by emeraldboy	Apr 18th, 2007 05:50:47 AM
Would disagree that he is raping anyone. If you look at all the things he produces. Newspapers, films and tv shows. they are all dumb. He doesnt care about quality, which is why nobody reads the news of the world. Murdoch understands very well that the punter in the street has heard of the fantastic four and if you give people ff movie they will go thats cool, he also knows that jo public really doesnt give a crap about what galacticus looks like or the design of FF car. Murdoch knows that is a movie. Murdoch has been this for the past 50 years. Giving people what they knowing that people arent interested in the fine details and that Fox news is such a success.

Isnt Galactus just a silly character anyway? by Teamwak	Apr 18th, 2007 06:08:32 AM

Galactus will EAT your box office totals, Rothman by Behemoth	Apr 18th, 2007 06:26:24 AM
You do not taint the legend of Galactus. This is truly mind-BOTTLING. Seriously, I am so fed up with these hacks who think they can just thoughtlessly change decades of comic lore so drastically. I will not see this if this is true. My absence from this film will DESTROY the box office totals. Galactus was in fact the coolest character in the FF franchise. To turn him into a cloud? Crom, grant me this one request. Grant me...REVENGE.
Northlander by Conman2478	Apr 18th, 2007 06:29:30 AM
I was actually referring to it [the galactus cloud] resembling "the nothing" in the visual sense, then again, stupid me for thinking someone wouldn't over-analyze my comparison and miss my whole point completely. but thanks for the re-education on 80's fantasy cinema. next time i have a question about xanadu or time bandits, i'll be sure to let you know. ...douche.

Story time by FatSeagal	Apr 18th, 2007 06:37:14 AM
Don't fear people, Tim Story can save this movie! With his knack for characterisation and flare for action I'm sure.....hell, who do I think i'm kidding. Still kind of looking forward to this though, mainly 'cause I don't really like comics but like comic-book movies (even the old Punisher and Captain America films, the latter being the biggest comic-turd ever commited to celluloid). I assume Galctus wasn't a cloud in the source material?

For godsake get a grip you lot. Jeez I've never heard such a pile of ranting idiots. You've not seen the CG treatment yet (and yes a cloud can look menacing and forboding). Why give you all the money shot if there's gonna be a 3rd film with I suspect a reveal of Galactus proper in whatever form they decide to present him. Someone say he's a cloud and you lot go ape shit, for f*cks sake take a chill pill and calm down. tsk.
The Partly Cloudy Devourer Of Worlds. by Nonemoreblack	Apr 18th, 2007 06:51:23 AM
Phantom Menaces don't work in even the most successful franchises. All this pussyspeak about "I don't know if Galactus will translate..." is such a copout justification for mediocre filmmaking. If you were to ask anyone in 1987 if good Batman movie would ever get made they would have said the exact same defeatist shit. No one ever thought Wolverine's hair and mutton chops would translate, or Blade for that matter (who is a thousand times cooler on film than he EVER was in the comics) saying that it can't be done is an even more cowardly way of saying "I can do it." So that's when you man up, excuse yourself from the project and make room for someone with the wherewithal and respect for the source material to make it happen. That being said, I hope this is a mix up and that a stormcloud is not the final version of Galactus. I want this to be good and say that having absolute hatred for pretty much everything in the first film except how Mr.Fantastic and The Human Torch were handled. When The Thing and Doctor Doom don't even look as good as the ones in the Roger Corman version...maybe you've picked the wrong filmmaker.

"a cloud can look menacing and forboding" by dastickboy	Apr 18th, 2007 07:18:17 AM
How exactly? Oh yes, big and dark - like a raincloud. Ooooh! "FEAR MY LIGHT DRIZZLE!" The only time the effect works is if the cloud is disguising something uncomprehensible, like in ID4 or Hellboy. But seeing as the uncomprehensible IS the Cloud, this will fall flat on it's face. This is just a terrible decision all the way round - just think of the lost sale on the action figure for one. $10 for a figure, sell 100k globally and you've just lost $1m my friend.

I went and looked onlyine to even see who Galactus is, I can see now why they would decide to make a storm cloud i can also see that that is a very lame idea and there is much more they could do with the character. Think it over fellas dont take the easy way out.
Rothman needs to shit himself... by Freefinger	Apr 18th, 2007 07:32:39 AM
Spartacus Hughs - You made me laugh, those were great comparisons, Galactus Head vs. cloud.. Great stuff! So from the looks of things.. I'm not the only one who'll be disapointed when this film opens up... All this "Marvel Unlimited" started these changes. They played with origin stories that we knew since the 50's instead of just refreshing them... They changed up a bunch of shit... I read that Galactus is a freaking Spaceship in the Unlimited Comics? See that what happens when mindless idiots start changing things around in the comics. It give Producers of the movies help with reconfiguring everything around... First it's a man, eater of planets, then it a spaceship, now a freaking cloud.. I say, the next person who comes across Rothman need to kick him in the balls! 'Nuff said...

ARGHH! That sounds like such a suit solution/suggestion to do that. I'm usually not a hater but I've got a keg of hateraide next to me right now. Guess I should've expected it. I thought the first one was terrible, so I guess it just stands to reason that the second would be bigger & better suckage. Just had hopes w/the surfer/trailer, and that they had looked at the last one w/an unobjective eye & fixed some of the many problems. BTW, I even would've accepted any type of carbon based updated alien than the big guy w/the acid era purple suit. Oh well. Some of these types movies will suck, and some of them will not. I'm just finally glad I got to the point where I won't plop down my hard earned $ for anything now just cause it's a comic movie. I drew the line before Ghost Rider & from what I've heard I'm glad I did. On the other side of the coin though...I would go see somethin really cool like 300 or (hopefully) Spidey3 multiple times. It's gotten to the point where I'd rather see somethin 3-4 times that blew me away & I want to absorb again than support any more of these turds. Demand more & quit seein everything they release dammit.

You do kno wthat Galactus has NO PHYSICAL FORM IN PARTICULAR. He merely appears in the form that the inhabitants of siad planet may comprehend. I mean you "comic fans" have actually read a fucking comic book or the Marvel Handbook right? According to wikipedia(even the dummies there got it): Although Galactus is usually depicted in humanoid form, each sentient being perceives him as having a form resembling its own. Hence, humans see Galactus as an enormous armor-clad humanoid, while an amoeba-like species, for example, would perceive Galactus as a gigantic amoeba-like entity. As Galan, Galactus was indeed a humanoid, but his true current form is unknown. He has adopted the appearance of a roughly humanoid energy being on at least three occasions. Whether or not this is his true form has yet to be revealed. ============================== Relax, Get out of your mom's basement. Attempt to talk to a female and WAIT TIL YOU SEE THE FUCKING MOVIE!

or at least superhero comic books. so not everyone will know the FF universe. The die hard FF Fans know it backwards of course and it doesnt matter who directed this film, the die hard fans are going to hate it anyway. So the next thing is then if your an effects guy how to come up a planet eating monster. Do you copy the idea from Star trek Voyager. There was a planet eating monster in that and the alien was caught between it and The borg. so rather than the alien being assimilated he was devoured by the monster. or Marvel could sever thier ties with Fox and team up with dreamworks but die hard fans wouldnt be happy about that. nothing seemingly satisfies them. except hollywood not making comic book movies. But i enjoy comic book movies so i dont know.

1.) A nude scene w/ the delectable Miss Alba will not save this film. I mean, she had a couple in the FIRST film and that didn't help (granted, she was invisible during them). 2.) HOPE that they mean full-on "Day After Tomorrow" storm and not little Winnie-The-Pooh fooling the bees cloud. 3.) HOPE that any cloud at all is just the opener for something cooler in the 3rd movie. It does not HAVE to be the jolly purple giant (but I'd prefer it). I mean, despite being a stinker, the first movie did well with the family audience, apprently. That gives you some latitude to shoot for entertaining over 'bad-ass'. So say we all... or just me, I suppose.

Story, iirc, let this out awhile ago. I know he never promised a giant space humanoid. Galactus would have ate the budget, pun intended. And the only reason Surfer is in this, is because Fox had been paying on separate character rights for years now and wanted some type of return to end the contract. Arad's going to move the FF to his Paramount deal after the sequel blows out. Then like Hulk, he'll reboot. Only thing that can change this is if FFRSS does big numbers.

For all you people who don't like the way they keep screwing up your movies and destroying your favorites. For all the people who keep complaining about their decisions. DON'T GO SEE THE FUCKING MOVIE!!!!! They'll tell you that you can't judge the movie until you see it. You'll say OK and pay the ten bucks. You'll walk out whining calling it a festering pile of shit. They'll count they're money. The bank receipts will ring up near 100 million. The director will be considered an A- List director. ( a la Brett Ratner who pointed a camera at Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan) Rothman will be considered an astute businessman and remain in his current position. If you are tired of shitty Hollywood movies that with bad acting, directing, stories etc. DON'T GO SEE THEM. Just Don't!

Smackfu - Galactus is only ridiculous by Movietool	Apr 18th, 2007 09:10:23 AM
If you're embarrased by the fact that you're reading comics. Name one character or situation in a superhero book that ISN'T "ridiculous." The point is that (if this rumor is true) the dunderheads behind FF don't trust the source material enough to actually, you know, make the effort to get the audience to believe. Apparently Richard Donner is the only Filmaker with enough testosterone for that. Instead, they'll just pull the "nimbus" aspect of the story and cull the actual Galactus and try to make you believe it's better this way. But it's not. Why even try to do the Galactus story if you're not going to have freaking Galactus appear? You seem to have trusted that the Silver Surfer could work, why is Galactus so different? Of course, maybe this report is wrong. But considering the way they castrated Dr. Doom, I'm inclined to believe it's true. Why, oh why are these people embarrassed by the subject matter? It's a freaking COMIC BOOK MOVIE! Embrace the mythology dummies! It's fun! It's fantasy! Don't run away from that! Give us a 100 ft. tall Humanoid Galactic world-eater with a freaky technology suit! Have him plop down in the middle of NYC and start to create an apocolypse machine out of the dust in the air! If you sell it - REALLY SELL IT - without Johnny Storm making a tounge-in-cheek "wink wink" in-joke to the audience every two seconds, it might just work! Get some balls! Do it! Ah, what am I saying - nthis franchise is beyond redemption anyways - do whatever the hell you want.

To paraphrase ATHF:MFFT, they've got your money, don't care if you like the movie, and are now going to spend it on drugs.

People would never believe that, it sounds like something out of some nutty religious text. Next people would believe in angels living in clouds, or devils living underground taking orders from some Demon overlord. People aren't that naive. Can you imagine if a person who believed such things ever ran a country? We'd all be in serious trouble. WINK Too soon?

How hard is it to film some kind of teaser shit with glimpses of a purple armored hand, or helmet or something? Fucking douchebag, Rothman. The first FF film took the creative shortcut on Doom's character, and now this second FF film fucks up Galactus? Aah, fuck you...

How come AICN hasn't reported that Edward Norton has been cast as Bruce Branner?

So I LOVE comic books. I LOVE movies. I believe I have a sense of what makes each good. And I know when its done well. That said the laast FF movie was HORRIBLE. A non blonde Johnny, and a latex short and fat Thing are just the tip of the iceberg. Bad choices. Galsctus would just be silly as a Human. Really think about it. I think this movie could be better than the first, I also dont think thats saying much. But the surfer seems to be actually a nice take on that character. Maybe the "cloud" wont totally suck. Maybe. It will still be better than Transformers, which is sad. At least they were trying to make the Thing look right.

The REAL reason Galactus looks the way he does... by Err	Apr 18th, 2007 09:45:03 AM
Galactus' look changes with each species. Humans perceive him as Human in his purple get-up. Skrulls perceive him as a Skrull in some other get up. Kree as something else. Shi'ar as something else. So really, the only people to blame for him looking the way he does, is you. If you weren't human, he'd probably look cool. You gayed it up.
Well... by Evil Hobbit	Apr 18th, 2007 09:46:54 AM
It's probably just a set-up for the next movie anyway, when we get to see Galactus in full glory. I picture this raincloud like this huuuuge Independance Day mothership stormcloud. That's threatening. Then BENG, to be continued.

How I percieve this being really cool... by Conman2478	Apr 18th, 2007 09:52:49 AM
If I were the art director on this movie and Tim Story came up to me and said, "we really don't think a giant man in purple armor is going to work...we have this idea about an enveloping cloud that we want to explore, but we still want to pay some sort of homage to the character," I do this: Imagine an enormous black cloud (tinted purple of course) rolling ominously over the landscape. it moves fairly low to the ground and spans up as far as you can see. as it moves, death comes to any form of life it touches, slowly turning the world to dust. as it crawls over the horizon, the shape of Galactus's famous horned helmet is implied in the shadows of the cloud, visible only during quick flashes of lightning. Imagery similar to the cover of Galactus: Extinction - http://www.brokenfrontier.com/ ektron-content/gl1p1_0109.JPG Yeah, it'd be cool to see Galactus on screen, but we've all seen the translation efforts, so I'm willing to give someone's interpretation of the character a fighting chance. After all, how many of us screamed for Marvel's head when the Ultimates version of Galactus was portrayed as a swarming plague of drones. I don't know...I'm just not as bothered by this as obviously some people are here. I think it's an oppurtunity to realize the character in a completely terrifying way, and at the same time paying some sort of homage to the strong visual elements we all recognize Galactus for. I'm keeping an open mind, but I think it might be kind of cool.
Unnecessary by Thunderbolt Ross	Apr 18th, 2007 09:53:07 AM
If Galactus's design in the comics was completely unadaptable I could see them going this route. Or if the FF movies were going for something less ... comic-booky overall. But it's unneccesary. As someone already posted (http://tinyurl.com/23pmss) - the original design with some minor tweaking could look pretty damn good.

At what point was this film never going to suck? by jasper Stillwell	Apr 18th, 2007 10:04:10 AM
Tim Story has always been running as a director before he can walk in even attempting this saga. I sense a 'grab-the-bucks-before-it-coll apses-strategy at work here behind the scenes as this will surely finish the franchise off for a few years I suspect before the stink dies down on this one. A big cloud with Fishburne as the 'voice of God' is pretty thin, to be said, but just taking a look at those Alex Ross renderings of the big G prove that perhaps with a bit of thought, care and vision the purple helmet version could be pulled off in a cinematic context. But then we're talking Tim Story here, so yeah we're screwed. Shrewdly Galactus could ideally lead into a very cool Negative Zone plot here for a raucous, out-of-control third film but then god knows what he'd do to Annihilus....can you imagine? The big green and purple feller cast as fecal leakage or something. Anyway I don't know whay I'm posting this because as we all know it's all fucked without the presence of Kirsten Dunst anyway....
...anyway by jasper Stillwell	Apr 18th, 2007 10:05:25 AM
...wasn't there a rumour going that the design of Galactus wasn't finalised by Story until about February....doesn't that send out signals??
WTF? by Turd Furgusen	Apr 18th, 2007 10:06:51 AM
That really sucks and talk about a cop out. Of all the ways you could present Galactus,(Kirby's being best)and they choose this? What is it with the production of this franchise? They get some things dead on and others are completely wrong. Rothman is a scurge on the Comic Book Film industry. Speaking of giants. Someone should take a giant stick and shove it up Rothman's ass and make him realize what a mistake this is.
The sad thing... by Drexl Spivey	Apr 18th, 2007 10:07:02 AM

Shame on anyone who thought this would be good by IndustryKiller!	Apr 18th, 2007 10:21:36 AM
C'mon people. I know its all the rage these days to give shitty comic book films a pass but the first one was absolutely abhorable. I refused to see it in theatres and when I finally did catch it on cable I couldnt get all the way through it. Just fucking terrible and what they did to Doom was inexcusable. Hell even the Johnny Storm that people claim they got so right was just painfully annoying with all his extreme sports bullshit and grating cockiness. Chris Evans played him closer to a used car salesman than anything else. So with the same exact production team on board how the fuck did anyone think this was going to turn out well? Yeah the early Silver Surfer stuff was neat but the character is so simplistic in design it would have been impossible for them to fuck it up. If you had faitht hat any of the nuance of Marvel's galactic half of storylines would show up in a film by Tim Story then you were just being naive.

It seems these FF movies get everything right... by Childe Roland	Apr 18th, 2007 10:38:57 AM
...except the villains. That's a huge achilles heel, because most folks agree a good story is almost always only as good as its villain. With Doom they got the look right but the character all wrong. Seems like they took the reverse approach to Galactus. I didn't want to see a giant in purple and blue Kirby armor, necessarily, but some sort of giant being with a huge spaceship would've been cool. Maybe he's hiding somewhere inside the cloud? Can we at least pretend that?

I think what gets me most is that they've changed it to a cloud. As some one has said above, of all the ways they could of interpreted Galactus they chose to go with a cloud. It's so hard to comprehend why they thought it'd be a good idea. It may change though, if they out cry is bad enough...but then you get the fear of a half assed, no time to spare creation ala Mummy returns with the Rock as bad CGI scorpion guy and then you'd be even more angry.

Give a little get a little. Make the suits money AND the movie you want. It doesn't sound like the principal 'mover & shakers' on the FF movies have that strength of conviction. Just the desire to do as the check signers say. So say we all... or just me, I guess.
A Giant Purple Robot Guy by DeCypher44	Apr 18th, 2007 11:11:29 AM

Bill Brasky as Galactus by Dopenose19	Apr 18th, 2007 11:13:00 AM

If they took the same approach they did with Unicron in the Transformers film (not Bay's aborted shitfest). They hide much of him in shadow, use a deep booming voice like Wells and kick the base up to a degree that stops your heart in the theater. With the Surfer in frame to such an immense being, it would visually fucking rock, if done right. Or Tom "I fucked Last Stand in the ass" Rothman could simply make Galactus a clou....oh, never mind...

...about the movie, because it will suck. But I did collect FF comics for a few years back in the 80s. I know that it's easier to play off Galactus as a stormcloud than a giant purple man. But when anyone who knows Galactus at all pictures Galactus in his mind, they will think of the giant purple man. Not a storm cloud. Very few people know or give a rat's ass that some obscure "Ultimate" title revisited the character as cloud, or a collective. Now, if the storm cloud were the Fart of Galactus, then the giant purple man himself arrives, cool. Otherwise, see ya at Spidey 3

Dr. Über von Doom is defeated (by a brain collapse caused by the unbearable amount of 'Storm' analogies throught the movie up to that point) and the Four get Silver Surfer's his magical mcguffin board back. Only that SS's unable to fight, still recovering from the brutal anal rape Jim Cameron was granted by court to perform on him in the T2's plagiarism law suit. So, Mr. Fantastic jumps on the board, but since he can't fly on it, The Thing tosses him and the board like a giant motherfucking spear against the Galactus McCloud. We hear a lot of poorly engineered sound effects, than a giant purple head salvaged from some Power Rangers dumpster falls from the cloud. There's like 2 more hours of shitty film after that. Fin.

back in the 80s? It was about an alien invasion of lizard people disguised as amicable humans. Anyway, when the aliens first arrived, earthlings were aghast at the sight of the huge ships in the horizon--an idea borrowed by ID4 ten years ago. Point is, that's how Galactus, the Giant Purple One, ought to look. Huge and looming, and at some point in the movie Surfer will toss a comical aside about, "that's as small as he can make himself. Just wait until he's aroused."

You know whenever nonsense like this pops up the argument always rolls back to previus movies that 'got it right'.I dont get it.People always bring up Batman Begins,Sin City,The Spider-Mans.It all boils down to ONE SIMPLE THING.It doesnt take much to 'get it right'IT DOES take a lot of work to fuck it up..You have to go out of your way to fuck it up.Doing the right thing is easy,in fact most of the time we all do the right thing by not doing anything at all.It takes a lot of effort to do wrong ,or bad.Just ask a convicted felon.Story needs to be chased into the woods by torchlight and pitchfork.

I will admit, but I'd have loved them to incorporate the helmet somehow. It's a superhero film about imagination and exploration - who wants realism? I want to see a giant cosmic alien coldly survey the Earth and then say "I hunger." and start the destruction. Galactus is interesting because he is standing right there an he is ignoring everyone, he doesn't care, you have to do something CRAZY to get his attention. How are you going to do that with a cloud? My guess is he will be a non-character.

The same people saying galactus wouldn't by SylarTheCylon	Apr 18th, 2007 02:06:23 PM
work in a movie because he's a huge pink dude, or whatever, are the same who would say dr manhattan wouldn't work in the watchmen movie because he's a huge blue dude. with a huge blue dick. What is it with modern movie makers that they have the tools to make really awesomely weird stuff, but won't? It's like CGI is limiting effects instead of motivating them. Now everyone is afraid it won't look real enough, so they chicken out on doing really weird effects stuff. Fuck realism, I say. I would love to see Terry Gilliam take on a movie like this because he would probably make a gigant pink guy appear above new york. He has the balls to do it. Imagine a Jodorowsky's Fantastic Four. At least that would be interesting. This isn't even that. This is a FF movie, FFs sake. It's supposed to be weird like that, pink dude included. When the filmmaker believes in something, and the movie takes it seriously without giving a shit, then the audience will usually believe it too. That's all it takes : selfconfidence, and confidence in the material that you are basing your movie on. Sadly Tim Story, nor Fox give a damn about the FF, nor the audience. They don't really have any confidence in the source material beyond dressing a bunch of idiots in blue suits and making them fight a silver idiot. We have yet to see a true Fantastic Four movie. I say ignore this tripe, go see something else. You deserve better.

That's Not Galactus. It's The Gas Trapped In Galactus. by Buzz Maverik	Apr 18th, 2007 04:09:42 PM
It's a well known fact that planets make one kind of bloaty and pooty. You get that no so fresh feeling. Having read the script, I can tell you that Galactus has sent the Surfer to Earth not to find him something to eat but to raid our supply of Bean-O. Galactus plans to consume the planet Chiliburgerus 7 in the Cheezcut System of the Airbizkit Nebula. Apparently, it's a spicy delight of taste sensations, but the last time the Big G had anything like that, he let one fly too near a binary sun and the backwind singed his elaborately costumed ass. MONDO SPOILER ALERT! The Watcher, played by a bald, CGI enlarged Andy Richter, directs the Four to ship Galactus the world supply of Pop Rocks instead. This is a major product placement for the Pop Rocks corporation, btw.

I had a lot of hope for this movie, the Silver Surfer looks spot on, maybe, maybe, maybe if the cloud is just what is bringing Galactus TO the earth... or some kind of portal of some kind...maybe that could work...but if they could make a fucking silver surfing dude and a dude in a rock suit, why couldn't they make a dude in a purple power rangers suit??

This is hysteria over nothing.The report is inaccurate. by NinjaRap	Apr 18th, 2007 05:23:32 PM
Those who have read the film's novelization already know about the "sinister cloud" which appears in the film. It's not Galactus. The novel makes it pretty clear that the cloud is merely some kind of tool that drains a world of its energy. And the cloud has no sentience of its own, no intelligence. And we're told that there may be "dire consequences" for messing up the cloud-device's work. Which obviously implies that something is ruling over or controlling the cloud that will smack down on those who defy it. Galactus ain't the cloud, people. It's just some damn thing that Galactus sends before he comes down to get fed or whatever. This is seriously misplaced hysteria. Damn, even though the book refers to Galactus (under the name "Gah Lak Tus"), it never calls the CLOUD Galactus. It just calls it "the destroyer" or, of course, "the cloud."

You're right, fat bears... by Childe Roland	Apr 18th, 2007 05:35:35 PM
...Kirby intended Galactus to represent God in the comics. No shit. That was what the "G" was supposed to stand for. Editorial had a small shit fit at the very idea (apparently putting the gods of other cultures in your comics was cool, but not so much the God of the Christians and the Jews). So God became Galactus and history was made.
Galactus is God? by MarcoMan42	Apr 18th, 2007 05:42:52 PM
If Galactus is God then maybe he should be represented by a burning bush instead of a cloud.
Thanks NinjaRap by A Day of Days	Apr 18th, 2007 05:54:22 PM
For clearing that up...I hadn't known about the book, but I was pretty sure they wouldn't make Galactus a freaking cloud. Talkbackers are just anxious to turn any bit of news they hear into "Oh no, this is gonna ruin a movie I already assumed would suck anyway"!

Why do they have to change him? If they decided to make a Silver Surfer movie, and they shot it, and they've released the trailer, how could they just NOW figure out that they don't like Galactus as a giant guy..thing.. dude? They should have figured that out a long time ago and then decided that it wouldn't work and scrapped the whole damn thing. This has disaster written all over it.

But hey money talks, especially when it comes to Michael Bay. Hey, here's an idea, why not have Bay direct the 3rd sequel if this one doesn't fail miserably? It's already a fucked up franchise in terms of casting and creative choices, plus Tom Rothman and Michael Bay can snort coke and suck each other's dick between takes.

The only good part about that will be Lawrence Fishburne.

Fantastic Four as a filmchise has been a disaster from the start. Fantastic Four was miscast with the exception of chiklis as the thing, and then they couldn't even get the makeup right. Jessica Alba is too young to be sue storm and she is latina. Ioan Gruffudd as Mr Fantastic, I don't buy it with his painted on white temples. Again he's also much too young for the part. Julian McMahon is too young to be Doom and is not a seasoned enough actor for the part. Chris Evans as johnny storm is debatable.

I would imagine as Galactus enters our atmosphere, there would be such an effect. You have to admit it would look cheesy if he just showed up, sat on the North Pole, and started taking nibbles. And you have to admit, if Michael Bay were to add Unicron to Transformers, it would be a storm cloud... and it would piss on everyone, as per Bumblebee.

Hmm... by Cobbio	Apr 19th, 2007 09:02:43 AM
I never saw the first "Fantastic Four" movie, and I'm glad I didn't. I'm not a fan of half-baked, poorly conceived, emotionally flat, stupidly acted trash films. Some people are, but I'm not. Compare the decision to turn Galactus into a cloud with the creative tastiness going on with "Spider Man 3," or "Iron Man," or even "Speed Racer." Rothman, like all his Fox henchmen, dumb everything down farther than even I thought it could be dumbed down. Per their Fox mantra, they appeal to the lowest common denominator with everything they do. There have been a few ripples of interest over the years, I suppose ("24"), and they certainly garner good ratings, which is the bottom line, but I dislike their mantra to dumb everything down. It's a huge, narcissistic disservice to our country. I'll skip "Fantastic Four 2" -- like I skipped the first FF movie -- and go see "Spider Man 3" and "Iron Man."
Second thought by Cobbio	Apr 19th, 2007 09:15:31 AM
Then again, I just read NinjaRap's comment that "the cloud" isn't Galactus, it's just one of Galactus's weapons sent to absorb all of Earth's energy. Maybe he's right. I'm still interested in seeing teh film.
The 3 Reasons Why Galactus Will Be A "Cloud"... by Graphix67	Apr 19th, 2007 09:18:24 AM
#1 Rothman's mind-set on his disdain for ever fully introducing the Sentinels in the X-Men series due to his "comic-book giants are silly" attitude obviously applies to a 30-foot tall cosmic god as well. #2 The hard-core fanboy/comic-book geeks that are intimate with the 1-dimensional drawn characters are the minority. It is the majority of folks that flood the theatre for summer comic-book movie blockbusters that are NOT as intimate with the characters. Therefore, they could care less if this "Galactus" threat is a cosmic-cloud or a giant in a purple-and-pink body armor. #3 Budget, budget, budget... Obviously, the Surfer is the focus for the special-effects this time around. And it's a HELL of alot cheaper to have the CGI-Department crank out a big cloud with a James Earl Jones-like voice-over than it is to create a believable 30-foot tall Space-God with freakin' eye-beams coming out of his helmet.
For the record by Movietool	Apr 19th, 2007 09:38:57 AM
I said I wouldn't see FF in the Theatres, and I didn't. When I finally caught it on cable - it was as horrible as I predicted - Although I was pleased that they pretty much nailed the Johnny Storm/Thing relationship. Other that that? Awful through and through.
Huge cloud with nipples by TimBenzedrine	Apr 19th, 2007 09:49:07 AM
And gigantic GALACTATING breasts.
There were movies that couldnt be made in the past by emeraldboy	Apr 19th, 2007 10:11:48 AM
because the technology wasnt there. I think that there is a lot tehno-snobbery on this site. or at least cgi-snobbery. Hollywood has found out the hard way that, cutting back on the old style effects was a mistake. Once this galactacus was revealed as a cloud. The hard core fans turned on the movie. But i suspect the real reason why there is no giant robot is Fox dont want to compete with Transformers. once they heard and saw the robot designs they scrapped theirs. Hence the cloud and seeing as no on on the talkbacks seems to care or know anything film production. A cloud is cheaper to do. Becuase i tend to ignore the haters. I will see this film anyway. That was the lesson the learnt from titanic. One more thing. Remember Fight Club. Here is one thing you didnt know. That movie went into production behind murdoch's back. He heard rumours about it. But this was still a film which was being shot under tight secrecy. Murdoch knew nothing about the film. The film was made and handed to execs, Murdoch came of course as the owner. And was enraged by what he saw. The ramification of Fight Club was the hiring of Tom Rothman. Rothman has the ear of Murdoch. Murdoch has a view of that 20th Fox is a family company and should make family orientated films and after Afer all news corp is a Family run company. Futurama and the simpsons have in the past been the victims of this kind of thinking. The simpsons is Murdoch's biggest cash cow

Come on now...lots of talkbackers have conceded that Galactus can appear as something else, but a cloud (if true) is very weak. I think the transformers shouldn't be robots but clouds because having big robots running around on Earth is just plain stupid.

2 cents from a whiney fanboy: by TimBenzedrine	Apr 19th, 2007 11:29:35 AM
Granted: It's not always possible to make a literal translation from most comic book stories. However, some things are simply part of that comic book's universe and should not be tampered with, no matter how cool some comic hating screenwriter thinks their new idea is. Sometimes you get something acceptable like non-spandex wearing X-Men or organic webshooters, but too often these new additions are about as useful as nipples on a batsuit. So, should Galactus be a thousand foot giant in space EXACTLY the way Kirby drew him? Probably not. So, should he be a big angry cloud instead? No, because it's not the character. Is it possible to find something acceptable in between? I don't see why not. Can I stop asking and answering my own questions? Yes, I can , and I will do so right now.

comic books are not by emeraldboy	Apr 19th, 2007 02:19:39 PM
some kind of precious text. saying that they are things should not be tampered with gives them that kind of aura. if you think that Artistic licence doesnt or should not apply to comic books, i think is ridiculous. not everyone read comic books. Murdoch runs his business in a family way. This means that, despite the horror of fans, the orders came down from on high to humanize doom. That is the truth. I saw a superb documentary about Murdoch. This is how I know all this. Murdoch is not an editor but nothing gets done without his say so. So after the fight club mess he literally will veto the look of a film. After titanic he ordered all studio finances to be curbed regarding Blockbusters. That is the way He does things.

Not really, anchorite, it's called editing. Have you by superninja	Apr 19th, 2007 02:38:17 PM
looked at the videogame cut scenes? They get the overall scale which is the most important thing in my opinion. So I'd do that and then I'd focus really closely in on the eyes, mouth, hand, etc. so you only really get a good look at the overall costume except from the distance. I say it could be quite cool. And I would give him Kirby craggle face like Darkseid and glowing eyes to make him appear more alien. You need him as a tangible presence if you are going to tell a story in which the whole purpose is to get Galactus to pay attention to you so as to not destroy you. Maybe they aren't telling that story, but if they're not, they're idiots.

(Except, of course, most of that would have been misspelled and missing punctuation and some capitalization.) How long were you living under that rock? What kind of moron thinks that fantastic imagery looks "silly" on film? You would probably think that a movie with a 30' tall flaming shadow-demon, wielding a flaming whip would look silly on screen and such a film would bomb, huh? You'd never imagine such a film doing well, much less earning Oscars like Fellowship of the Ring did.

optimism? by siralex	Apr 19th, 2007 05:49:31 PM
the only reason i wanted to watch this movie after the mess that was the first was because ive always wanted to see the surfer and galactus on screen. knowing it sucks, ill still go watch it, just because of silver surfer (i mean, its only seven bucks people). but the comic book geek in me sees a lining to the dark.. nevermind. anyway, since there is a 3rd one coming out, maybe this is the best way to represent his coming. and then we get a 21 century larger than life galactus in the 3rd one? and for those that talk about the believability of a being such as galactus, well im a practicing, catholic, and even i have my doubts that i believe god exists. but i believe in him. galactus is the most powerful single being in the marvel universe. kirby intended him to be a god. or at least near omnipotent. and why are we even talking about believability in a movie that has a man that can turn into fire?

When the properties revert back to Marvel I'm sure they'll probably reboot all of the franchises cept for spiderman, save for new actors. To all of the Naysayers about having the comic book Galactus, a real director would take the essence of the character and make it kewl as hell, and not an F'ing cloud either. Do you realize the source material here? Comic books. Have fun, cut loose with some uber I-M-A-G-I-N-A-T-I-O-N!!! With the cgi technology we have today, he could bring down the house with his presence...in the hands of a real director. Let's have the real Doc Doom and a CGI nasty assed Thing too. Fox went cheap on what could have been the next awesome look forward too franchise...but they dropped the ball and pissed down their legs due to lack of the aforementioned imagination. Sorry, not even bringing in SS will save this crapfest. (Funny how a cute little family picture called 'The Incredibles' totally kicks FF's ass) It's suxxors saying all this cuz I grew up on FF. Sad...what could have been, man.

That Galactus cinematic will make your guts run cowardly from your anus! The cloud is such a cop-out.

....that the Thing is the shortest one of the four. Now it is no suprise that they go with this rain cloud care-bear bullshit. Even if old purple head is not feasable for the big screen, at least the traditional outline with the horns (or whatever) on his helmet should be seen through the mist or something. One can only hope this is just a bs rumor.
Galactus as a talking carrot by jjcane	Jun 11th, 2007 10:29:54 PM
...Why not? Lost in Space did it..and it was awesome! Seriously, I think I would prefer a talking carrot to a cloud. The carrot is THE shit, man. A cloud...is just...a cloud. Mucho Lameo dude. Get Galactus right, or gimme a carrot.
