FF2 DVD Director and Producer commentary...

[Hellmistress]

thats a lie. doug jones did everything. SS was not CGI in close ups when he speaks. it is more then 50% doug jones in the suit.

he he t:

i am just joking

More like 90%. Tsk. Naughty Fox and Tim. Have they no shame? Well ... I guess not ...

They are just rabid businessmen. "Shame" is not in their tiny dictionary.

 

[bubbadoom]

Sure, there's plenty of Frightful Four stories, but #41-43 is the best one. And you should introduce Medusa via the Frightful Four - because that's the way Stan and Jack did it! Plus, four villians is much cheaper than an entire race of super powered characters - if they don't have the cash for the Frightful Four they sure don't have it for the Inhumans!

 

[Darth Rockwell]

personaly I'd have liked to see Mole man/Puppet Master for part 2 and Ss for3 with the big G in4

 

[Kelly]

Yes I definitely would like to see MM and PM in an F4 movie.

For those who have listened to the commentary, does anyone say anything about the terrible FX during the dance scene at the nightclub? Or why Reed's clothes can stretch all of a sudden?

 

[LostSon88]

Well..I always assumed that he exposed his clothing to the same type of radiation they were exposed to in part 1.

As part 1 showed, Reed CAN recreate the storm and radiation, just not a very powerful one.

I will say it was disrespectful not to use Doug Jones voice AGAIN for another great acting role like this. Jones has a GREAT voice for this character that would've been much better than Fishburne's. Fishburne's casting as the voice of the surfer was pointless and superfluous just like as the narrator in TMNT.

Story and co. lying about Galactus and Dr. Doom and Julian McMahon/Doom having a bigger role = not surprising.

It's Hollywood guys. I understand wanting the movie to be good and getting your hopes up, but look at the track record.

Tim Story is not the type of director that will fight for the movie and the right decisions.

Where did you hear Doug Jones' Silver Surfer voice?

 

[TheVileOne]

I've seen him and heard him talk in person. Listen to him voice Abe Sapien in the animated Hellboy movies, that voice in particular would've been perfect for the Surfer, just add the metallic resonance.

Agreed....

 

[highguard]

^^ Guess Tim is not going to get a lot of love around here.....

Well Tim old buddy it is entirely your own fault.

......Given what we have been hearing, about your intentions for Galactus and the decisions that you seemed to swallow or initiate.... the lack of love is no surprise

....oh and can someone tell me where the 83 minute idea came from.

 

[Mercurius]

....oh and can someone tell me where the 83 minute idea came from.

From Heaven.

The way I see it, people shouldn't be allowed to torture anybody that long. More than that? God forbid.

i am still wondering what was SOOOOOOOOOOOO wrong with dougs voice. could it really be that the only reason fishbourne did the voice was so that it would bring more people in the theater?

That's what Fox thought. Unfortunately their little Cunning Plan didn't work. Should have stuck with Dougie - he did a GREAT voice.

[Swordmaster]

I don't have the DVD yet, so I have a question:

When SS confronts Galactus, the voice sounds a little different than usual until the "For us Both" line. Do they comment on that at all?

 

[Angelus7181]

I want a 3rd round with the same cast but I don't think Story should return.

We need a directer and crew with the balls to stand up to FOX (running time, budget, theme) and the ability to shut the nay sayers up thru it's work.

But one can only dream

Well the thing is do you really think that Fox is going to go, ok, we really need to fire Tim and bring in a director who not only knows what to do but will stand up to us when we rip the heart and soul out of the movie.

.....um not gonna happen.

However will they ditch story in an effort to fool the fans and foist the idea on us that things will change, .... I suspect Rothman is sitting or has spent time in his office somewhere pondering this very strategy.

I have a simple solution, give Tim Story a free hand.

However to Tim Story: You have to do better man. If you need an extra year take it, cause a lot of people are now questioning your ability to bring an epic movie to screen, myself included.

He´s already had two chances. I don´t want to give him a third.

I have noticed that and pointed it out in another thread, when he delivers the first line, it doesnt sound like LF in the slightest, i wonder if it is Doug's voice?

It's all Mr. Fishburne's voice, not Doug's. Ah, such is life ...

Just watch the scene were he says those lines again though HM, i have watched plenty of Larry Fishburne movies, and it just doesnt sound like him.

Yeah, I know - doesn't sound like LF at all, does it? But it's him, as far as I'm aware, and I must admit I can't see why they would use Doug just for one line. But it sure is odd.

No me neither, i was thinking maybe they couldnt get LF to do those lines because he was busy or something, but as you said it is odd, because it sounds nothing like him.
