sp;>   cinescape.jpg" align="center">IGN FilmForce recently learned that Marvel Studios and 20th Century Fox's upcoming Fantastic Four movie may owe more to Marvel's recently launched 'Ultimate Fantastic Four' than to the original series. Speaking with Movie Insider Magazine, Avi Arad said "when you look at Ultimate Fantastic Four, you can see the direction for the costume, for the age, for the energy for what we want to do with Fantastic Four...We have a shop and we now have a great Thing and a fun, fun, fun script because Fantastic Four better be fun and we're finally doing it. Casting will probably be completed in three weeks" Meanwhile Cinescape has picked up more on the Rambo rumours that emerged here last week from a source of theirs - "RAMBO IV is ready to be fast tracked with Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna back at the helm as producers. It seems Dimension Films and the C2 honchos are close to reaching an agreement that would give Dimension half of the worldwide box-office of the film as well as dvd/vhs sales.
The movie has a tentative production start date of May/June 2005 for a summer 2006 release. But all that is not the interesting news. The director that Kassar and Vajna are after is none other than action master John Woo. They have always wanted to work with Woo and think he's the best man for the job. The plot I hear being thrown around has something to do with Rambo and nuclear weapons that were somehow lost. Guess who the president wants to hunt them down". Thanks to 'Stax', 'Gustavo', 'AB King'
