on Dec 02 2004 09:30 PM [b]Why?[/b] I definitely questioned Marvel's choice of Tim Story, the director of "Barbershop" and the recent box office bomb "Taxi", to helm the new Fantastic Four movie, and after seeing some of the stills I'm pretty convinced it's going to suck (the Thing will be Michael Chiklis in a rubber suit, and he definitely looks like Michael Chiklis in a rubber suit). Now, Marvel makes another off the wall move announcing Nick Cassavetes, director of "the Notebook" of all things, as the director for Iron Man. I could be worried for nothing. Cassavetes and Story could do great jobs, but looking at their past bodies of work, which do not scream innovative and imaginative filmmaking, they sure do seem to be extreme stretches for the director's chair of a Marvel comic franchise.
