DL: Jon Watts has withdrawn as the director of Fantastic Four, [FANF2] Apr 29, 14:01
Disney bad news Friday dump #2 (or #3 if you count The Marvels getting pushed to Summer next year) {nm} Apr 29, 14:11
He's probably moving up the Apple George Clooney and Brad Pitt "Fixer" project. {nm} Apr 29, 14:13
That kind of goes against the "taking a break" narrative. {nm} Apr 29, 14:22
Deadline says it's a break from superhero movies, not necessarily an overall break. {nm} Apr 29, 14:38
That's just code for "Creative differences". A BPITT and GCLOO film would be a major production, not small indie film. {nm} Apr 29, 14:42
But it wouldn’t be a superhero movie. ;) {nm} Apr 29, 15:28
That's also DL's spin. Feige only said "we are supportive of his reasons for stepping away,” {nm} Apr 29, 14:49
Odds on JKRAS directing himself in FANF2 just went up. {nm} Apr 29, 15:29
That’ll depend on when they film it. He films Imaginary Friends (IF) in the fall. {nm} Apr 29, 15:33
Just cast Emily Blunt as Sue Storm already! Apr 29, 16:32
If not her, I could wager Alexandra Daddario since she’s engaged to one of John’s producing partners. {nm} Apr 29, 17:28
I like Daddario but she seems more like a Wonder Woman/Girl type to me than Sue Storm. {nm} Apr 30, 07:25
I feel like Daddario is more Sue Storm personality-wise than Blunt. Apr 30, 10:42
