Jessica Alba as Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman.

Sorry,did you say something?

That's a smashing blouse you have on Jess,I may call you Jess can't I?

Ay!Yi Yi!

M

I'm guessing she won't actually be invisible for much of the film ...

And they could have easily cut corners on the budget by not hiring anyone for the role...

Is she about to do the washing up?

? Jessica Alba, 23, star of TV's Dark Angel, is Sue Storm, also known as the Invisible Woman, who has a romance with Reed.

? Welshman Ioan Gruffudd, 30, goes from Lancelot in King Arthur to scientist Reed Richards, whose Mr. Fantastic has the ability to stretch.



? Chris Evans, 23, currently seen in Cellular, is Sue's bro Johnny, a cocky pilot who turns up the heat as the Human Torch.



? The most recognizable face is also the most covered. Veteran actor Michael Chiklis, 41, of TV's The Shield, will grumble his way through the role of Ben Grimm, aka the Thing, a boulder-bodied mound of power whose battle cry is "It's clobberin' time!"

Rather disturbingly, they all appear to be some kind of Michael Jackson-esque 'robot'-style dancing ...

Heh, gives me a good excuse to post this:

Link: John Byrne is a prick - AGAIN!

Byrne's comments that latino women with dyed-blond hair look like sluts and hookers has been taken out of context - what he ACTUALLY meant to say was that ALL women are whores.  Mind you, I'm only saying that because I've read his work, and I don't need to have it spelled out for me.

He does, of course have a point - sort of.  Would it have escaped comment if a black actress had played Mary Jane in the spider-man movies?  Don't think so.  The Pete Ross character in Smallville (spit) was played by a black actor, and look how well the corn-chewing neanderthals who watch the show took to HIM.  Written out without a second thought.
And can anyone explain to me how, if Pete and Clark grew up together, Pete talks like those caricature african-american stereotypes that populate American television like a pox?  Especially kids television shows, worryingly.

(and if you're thinking "well, because ALL black people talk like that", you're either an idiot, or the producer of Smallville)

Did you have a look at that Byrne forum!?
Fuck me, what a pile of losers. It's a fucking comic people!

I wouldn't chuck stones, Rac.  We're about due another Dredd movie thread any day now, and we all know how well recieved the changes to the character in transition to the big screen were by 2000ad readers.  If the hayseed-chomping fans of Byrne want to spout off about the changes to their favourite characters, then let them do so.  How would you feel if some of Banksie's books got the hollywood treatment by way of Battlefield Earth?

None of which changes the fact that, of all the comic-books I couldn't give a flying toss about seeing as a movie, Fantastic Four is right up there alongside Vampirella and Lady Death - but if Jessica Alba and her pert little nugs are in it, I'll probably download it.
Hooray for nugs!

aye she is pretty, nice suit...

i say this to proove the point that i can tell an attractive woman when i see one, & are not driven my some insane bimbo based jealousy to diss all celeb type women. i will now re-iterate previous statements, britney spears looks like shit.

anyway did someone mention that lancelot bloke ? mmm pretty cute but it was galahad ( ? bloke with the bird? ) who is enough to set me foaming at the mouth ( attractive , but then i'm not a celeb so who cares ). anyone got a pic ? i'm lazy.

Jess thingumy doesn`t do it for me, but here`s hoping the film`s alright. I always assumed Sue Storm was middle-aged too. She was married and all that.
  I didn`t go to the John Byrne forum, but I think he has a point about the hair

yours reverting to his Marvel comics reading teens
 

so when are tickets on sale??

i think going by this pic i can safely say it worth the price of a cinema seat.
who needs a story line anyway?

Invisible woman eh? That'll explain his "wheelbarrow" hand position then.

How would you feel if some of Banksie's books got the hollywood treatment by way of Battlefield Earth?


Yeah, good point, but at the same time, you have to let go. The movie is not going to be what you believe the comic/book to be.
You might not like it, but complaining about chain links, helemt shape or Nightcrawler having the wrong shaped feet, well, it makes you look like a twat.

Okay, complaining about tiny minutae that only hardcore fans give two frigs about is pretty pointless, but look at it from the point of casual fans who've kept interest in individual franchises/characters alive through the years, and end up with Catwoman or Thunderbirds.
While some change between comics and film is inevitable, there still persists the nagging doubt that perhaps the original stories or details should remain the same and that the movie storyline should simply be better to accomodate the original characters.  If you show no respect for the original material, your movie will ultimately reflect this, and moviegoers and fans alike will stay away.

And Floyd is some bizarre mix of gay, blind or just plain strange.  Jess is lovely.

floyd like japanese women like this:

He's not the only one.

P. Bear. I agree that you have to remember why you optioned the strip for a movie in the first place.
But, even when film makers manage to to this, like with X-Men and Spider-Man, it still doesn't seem to be enough for the hard core fan.

I don't know what the fascination is with half-dressed Japanese women.  I really don't.

I've just went blind.

I know this is one of RAC's, but the underwear thread is elsewhere young bear!

Bolt-01

Underwear?  On closer inspection, it appears to be a bathing suit.  Yes.  Hang on, I'll have a good look at the picture again.









Yep, definately a bathing suit.

that pic is a huge file size

Curse you, web fu!

I find Japanese women very beautiful. Even if they're fully dressed.

s.c.u.

A quick google search later,


Bou - Here's Arthur Knight:

And on the subject of Japanese people... anyone seen this book of magazine covers? It's called 'FRUiTS' - and here's a sample picture:



Loads of Japanese punks - they're all soo cute!

the female or the male ones?

i hope its the female ones

Max - all of them! Those li'l Japanese punks! Aww, they're sooo sweet! Just like kittens (but with ripped jeans, kilts & spiky hair-dos).

Jared's tiny brain has suddenly melted away...

Ryoko Hirosue?  Wasn't she Jean Reno's daughter in that film where he went to Japan?  She's purdy.  And rather small.  And has that ginger-type hair that some /quite a few Japanese people seem to go for nowadays.  But still very pretty.
