The leads were previously portrayed by Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis. The first Fantastic Four in 2005 and its sequel 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer in 2007--both helmed by Tim Story--grossed $620 million despite awful reviews (I liked em both!).
"Girls" star Allison Williams was rumored to be circling Invisible Girl in May--While Fruitvale Station star Michael B. Jordan was eyed for Torch."The Spectacular Now" star Miles Teller was rumored to be first in line to play Mr. Fantastic--which was quickly debunked.
Fox wants to restore some credibility and quality to the property, that is currently targeting a Spring 2015 release. Vancouver has lost out on the shoot for the upcoming reboot. The film's production will now take place in Louisiana due to tax incentives in place.
