Fantastic Four movie: Dr. Doom announced!

[Flexor the Mighty!]

I had a horrible dream about a bad fantasy movie called the Dungeons and Dragons movie.

You may have a seqal nightmare, more horrible & terrifying than the first!

No Latveria + no armor = no ticket sold here.

Lets hear an Amen, our congregation of the full helm! Flashbacks are one thing, but if Doom's face is visable in the outfit, I am saving my money.

Apparently, this is how The Thing will look like:

Chinese, believe me.

So, which of the Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom represent in the Chinese elements?

Apparently, this is how The Thing will look like:

I thought Michael Chiklis (The Shield) is going to play The Thing, not Dennis Franz (NYPD Blue).

To me, McMahon is an actor who can do regret very well - that's just the vibe I get off him (mostly from wandering through the room while my sisters watched Charmed). And Doom has plenty to regret. I'm willing to bet he can make people scared of him, too. Scared in the self-referential Caesar fashion so endemic to the original Doctor? Not so sure. Haven't seen the movie yet, though. And we're not guaranteed to have seen all of McMahon's talents - for example, you may be aware of my illustration career, but you're probably not aware that my friends are threatening to kill me if I don't write more of my science fiction novel for them - they like it very much and call it 'publishable' (even if I see flaws throughout). Some things just don't come up all the time...

I'm also going to pipe in again to say that if the movie representation of Doom is too like the one in the comics, that this is a movie I'd stay away from. That sort of over-the-top melodramatic dialogue tends to not translate out to film too well. Just look at Doom in the Corman FF movie to see this.

Haven't seen it. I'm guessing it's not worth getting the DVD, right?

 

[Hand of Vecna]

The Corman FF flick just barely falls into the "so bad it's good" category. And, since it was never officially released, you can only get bootleg copies of it at various sci-fi conventions or specialty stores (I got my copy at BotCon 2003).

And I find it fairly ironic that a guy who's been playing a plastic surgeon for the past year or so is going to be portraying one of the most infamously scarred characters in all comic-dom. I think he'll do a vey good job, though, since he's been portraying arrogant, vain, egotistical characters. That, and he looks a good bit like Doom when he fixed his scarred face during the "Secret Wars" story arc.

I'm downloading it as we speak. We will see just how bad this movie is.
