Fantastic Four Comics
Comic Books And Graphic Novels Taking Over Hollywood
When you think of the movies of today what is one area of source material that you would say is dominating themes of Hollywood movies lately? I will give you a minute to think about some of the bigger block buster movies of the last year. If you thought about comic books and graphic novels than you know what I am talking about. Seems like every time you do a little search of what the latest rumors are about movies that Hollywood studios are looking to make. More often than not the original source material for the idea behind that movie is a comic book or a graphic novel.
Lately it feels like the people in Hollywood land have run out of original ideas and there is some sort of comic book element or graphic novel story line weaved into the movie. Don’t get me wrong here I loved the recent crop of movies that we have seen lately. Batman, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk and now the Watchmen have all been great films to watch and for the most part have given big props and stayed closer to the original source materials then in movies past. All I will say about that is the Fantastic Four movies, there was so much potential there and it all just went so terribly wrong.
Oh well they can’t all be winners though enough about that. On to more positive comic books in the movie news. The latest rumors on the new Thor Movie that is being directed by Kenneth Branagh is that he hay have the right actor to step into the role of Thor. Word has it that Alexander Skarsgard who is best known right now for his work on the HBO shows Generation Kill and True Blood is a leading candidate. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that they get this movie done right. Like it or not the Hollywood studios seem to be enamored with comic books and graphic novels right now.

Does anyone know if Galactus will actually appear in the new Fantastic Four Movie?
Everyone knows by now that the new Fantastic Four movie is loosely based off the comic “The Coming Of Galactus”, for whom the Silver Surfer works. But does anyone know if Galactus will actually make a screen appearance? And if so, who would play him? Maybe CGI?
Okay, so here’s the rumors.
Supposedly, he is going to be in the film but not in the way we comic book fans have come to know him (you know big purple planet eater). Here’s the theory based off the novelization of the movie. He’s going to be a “force of nature” supposedly like a giant hurricane. I guess Tim Story is still working on Galactus’s look. I think a CGI Galactus the way we know him would work. I don’t know if you’ve ever read “Marvels” with artwork by Alex Ross (if you haven’t you should definitely check it out, it’s a masterpiece) but Alex Ross showed that Galactus could work in a more realistic environment.
I’m just saying, I’ll be a little disappointed if he’s a stormcloud.
