Doctor Doom backstory for Upcoming Fantastic Four Movie Revealed

With what we know now, the new film's
Doctor Doom may not even look like this

As many of you already know, 20th Century Fox's Fantastic Four movie will not be based on a single issue of the Fantastic Four comic books. And in addition to that is the recent revelation about the movie's villain, Doctor Doom. In a recent interview, Toby Kebbell who plays Doom in this upcoming Fantastic Four movie have revealed the backstory of this character.

Here's what Kebbell stated...
"He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor Von Doom in our story.  And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that.  The Doom in ours—I’m a programmer.  Very anti-social programmer.  And on blogging sites I’m “Doom”. [hit the jump to continue]

Is the Fantastic Four movie indeed planning to stray far off from the source material? We read into Michael B. Jordan's interview, and make our own impressions

20th Century Fox's Fantastic Four has been under heavy scrutiny for casting a line-up that seems to be horribly inaccurate to what a Fantastic Four line-up should be [click here for that report], it's a casting that spells really bad news for any hopes of this being a good movie, because it indicates that its producers seem to stubbornly just stray away from the essence of the source material so that they could market to a "Twilight" tween market demographic. Fears of it being an awful movie are being reinforced with an interview with its star Michael B. Jordan (cast as Human Torch), indicating the project's instability.

Instability in the sense that the project seems to not have that clear picture of what they really want for this movie before they decided to work on it; a kind of "let's just make things up as we go along" [hit the jump to continue]

Josh Trank will direct Star Wars Spin-Off Movie

In addition to the episodes of a new Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm and Disney continue development of multiple stand-alone movies that will offer new stories beyond the core Saga. The newest director to come on board is Josh Trank. [hit the jump to continue]

Fantastic Four Cast Revealed

As many of you already know, the film series reboot for Fox's Marvel Superhero team The FANTASTIC FOUR is currently actively being developed, with Josh Trank (Chronicle) set to direct. Fox is currently finalizing their casting for the main characters of the movie. Up for the role of Mr. Fantastic is Miles Teller (Project X, Rabbit Hole, The Spectacular Now), Invisible Girl will be played by Kate Mara (Brokeback Mountain, Shooter, The Open Road), The Human Torch will be played by Michael B. Jordan (Chronicle, Fruitvale Station), and The Thing will be played by Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot, Jumper). Fantastic Four is scheduled for release on June 19, 2015.

Simon Kinberg hired for rewrites on FANTASTIC FOUR; Script Overhaul? or Adjustment for an X-Men Cross-over?

Aside from the X-Men franchise, Fox is also in the process of developing a Fantastic Four reboot. Josh Trank (who directed the awesome movie CHRONICLE) will be directing this new F4 movie with Jeremy Slater to pen the script and Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) doing a polish on the screenplay. It seems like the screenplay history of this movie just keeps getting more complicated, as various reports note that Michael Green and T.S. Nowlin have also worked on versions of the script at one time or another. And now, Fox has tapped X-Men: Days of Future Past screenwriter Simon Kinberg to do a “significant” rewrite on the project, in what might appear as an overhaul of the screenplay.

CHRONICLE Sequel to be Made, But Not with the Original's Director and Writer

CHRONICLE was one of the most awesome and one of best films of 2012. Because it was such a success (the film  grossed ten times its original budget at the box office), of course its studio 20th Century Fox is planning to make a sequel. Unfortunately, it looks like Chronicle's director Josh Trank and it's writer Max Landis won’t be involved at all in the sequel. Landis' tweet on twitter says "I've been off Chronicle 2 for months now. Fox had a different direction they wanted to take the series, Josh was never attached." He also says "Chronicle 2 is still probably happening, just not with my involvement as of now. It's a bummer, but there are no real hard feelings" [hit the jump to continue, and to check out Landis' vision for the sequel which was rejected by Fox]

Fantastic Four Reboot Actively Being Developed

The first two Fantastic Four movies did not really hit gold with audiences and critics and quickly got dissolved, now 20th Century Fox has decided to rework its plans for the Marvel foursome; they have decided to reboot FANTASTIC FOUR. Matthew Vaughn (director of Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class, and the producer who shot Guy Ritchie into directorial fame) will be producing, while Josh Trank, who amazed the superhero movie world with his movie "Chronicle", will be directing the Fantastic Four reboot.

To top it off, writer Mark Millar has been hired by Fox to act as a “consultant” on all of their developing Marvel properties; that includes Fantastic Four and the X-Men characters (Daredevil, on the other hand, is now back in Marvel's hands). To those unfamiliar, Mark Millar is one of the most prominent writers in the comics world. He created Kick-Ass, Wanted, The Authority, and was the writer behind Marvel's Civil War.
