Fant4stic Michael B Jordan is "Flame On!" The Human Torch - Part 2

[Kelly]

It's not that he avoided being negative he actually gave a rousing show of support to MBJ. He didn't have to go out his way to talk about them sharing a connection in the role etc.

I mean has Bale said much more than 2 words about affleck being cast? It was nothing close compared to what evans has said about MBJ at least. He sounded more than happy about the casting.

Bale has said less than 2 words in an interview to anyone...lol

FOX Exec on phone with Chris

FOX Idiot to Chris - We are in a pickle with the Fantastic Flop reboot casting. We need you to pass the torch to Michael Fake Jordan & your approval in public. Just act the part & smile in a picture or two with the guy & we will give you $10,000

Chris - I can do that

I'm sure you're joking but to imply Evans is some sort of studio compliment ****e for hire is silly, if you are actually serious.

Not to mention he's fully in the disney/marvel camp at this point. I'm sure they'd prefer him not compliment any non-marvel studio marvel films at all.

are you sure? i think he was using his batman growl during that interview.

 

[Ant-manic]

Chris Evans is a standup individual!

[Kelly]

I love how they can answer a question, and give you nothing...haha...

 

[wobbly]

Pretty much confirms what many here suspected: He basically had the role locked as soon as Trank signed on. So much for open auditions...

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Same can be said for actors like Hardy, Gordon Levitt and others for Nolan pics or Bohnam Carter and Depp for Burton pics.

There are plenty of Directors who form an affinity for certain Actors and bring them aboard their projects

 

[psylockolussus]

To be honest, I just wish Trank hired Alex Russell instead of Michael B. Jordan.

 

[Donut]

But none of them has done what Josh Trank has done. Instead of coming up with a new character for Michael Fake Jordan. Or finding another character in the Fantastic Four comics he can be. He ruined the Storms

 

[OriginalMiles]

In what way has he ruined the Storms? They'll still have the brother/sister dynamic.

 

[metaphysician]

They will *allegedly* still have said dynamic.

Lies.

Bale has the reputation of being a miserable *******,though.He's learned the benefit of the phrase "If you can't say anything nice...."


I don't know if Evans was "paid off",but it's obvious he's a stand up guy.They ask him for a "passing of the Torch" comment and he's not gonna give them the brush off.The Human Torch is what made him a household name.

You will have to take a look through the history of this thread....we are not going back to that discussion again.

 

[Mad Ones]

I think the Storms are the best thing this movie has going for it. I'm far more concerned by Miles Teller...

 

[psylockolussus]

Yeah I sorta agree on that! I haven't seen Miles Teller's work unlike with the other 4 cast members. I'm looking forward to Kate, Jamie and Toby the most.

 

[EssayM]

This was my attitude until I saw the trailer for Whiplash. Teller has some great dramatic intensity going on there.

 

[psylockolussus]

I just saw the trailer and it looks like he can really act. But his unattractiveness (looks-wise) worries me, to be honest. I know thats shallow but isn't he the male lead for this film?

 

[JP]

Unattractiveness?

EDIT: Oh, you're talking about Teller. LOL. Never mind.

Nolan did exactly what Trank is doing, he hired an actor (Hardy) to play a character (Bane) of a different ethnicity (Caucasian instead of Latino) to the comics.

Apparently sibling-ship is only there for blood relations.

His face looks like a turd. There's just something about it...

 

[SlamAdams]

I'm a fan of Miles Teller. I thought he was excellent in Rabbit Hole and The Spectacular Now. Definitely looking forward to Whiplash

Changing Bane did not change anything else. Trank only did his change so that his bff can be one of the stars. Bane is not related to Batman or Alfred. Just like with Perry White in Man Of Steel. Its just Perry & hes not blood related to Lois or anyone else at the Planet. Changing Bane did not majorly change things. Changing Bane & Perry only changed Bane & Perry & did not alter the story. Just so that the directors bff can be in a leading role. You are again using ****** examples to make ****** points that does not make sense. Change is fine to a point & if it makes sense. But what Trank did does not make sense. Just so that his bff can have a leading role. You positive people can enjoy this one off movie though
