..and they have to release the film within a certain time frame
They need to begin filming a new Fantastic Four movie within 7 years after the last Fantastic Four movie was released. Meaning that they have until about early Fall 2014 to start filming. Once they begin filming, there are other dates that they have to meet. They can't just take 5 years to film the movie. However, the actual time that they have to release the film after filming begins remains a guarded secret by those in the know.

Trailer won't be all that soon... Jan 26, 12:55
Care to expand or just let others guess? {nm} Jan 26, 12:59
Nothing to expand on, really. Speaks for itself :) {nm} Jan 26, 13:20

Poor FANT4 can't change their release date {nm} Jan 26, 12:57
Doubt it'd matter. Could be wrong but this could be epic fail of Green Lantern proportions. {nm} Jan 26, 12:58

Didn't fox just have to start production by a given date as opposed to release by a given date anyway? {nm} Jan 26, 13:11
Why not? Didn't Fox just have to start production to keep the rights. {nm} Jan 26, 13:03
Well. that's what happen with the 1994 Fantastic Four film. {nm} Jan 26, 13:52
which is probably the reason why FOX has a release deadline now ontop of a production deadline {nm} Jan 26, 15:06
Just double checked... {nm} Jan 26, 13:20
FOX had to begin production within 7 years of the release of the last fil (Fall 2014)... {nm} Jan 26, 13:21
