From IGN.com:

August 31, 2009 - 20th Century Fox has confirmed rumors from earlier this year that it will reboot its Fantastic Four franchise by announcing the hiring of Oscar-winning screenwriter (and, ahem, fanboy favorite) Akiva Goldsman to oversee the project. Before he became a producer on Jonah Hex, won an Oscar for scripting A Beautiful Mind, and made a bundle adapting Dan Brown's Robert Langdon novels into movies, Goldsman wrote the Joel Schumacher nipplefests Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.

Variety reports that Fox has also set Heroes and Green Lantern scribe Michael Green to pen the screenplay. The trade adds that since the reboot deals are just getting under way, it's too early to tell if any cast members from the first two films -- Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans and Julian McMahon -- will reprise their respective roles for the reboot. This contradicts reports from last March that claimed Fox wanted to completely retool and recast the franchise and replace director Tim Story.

The FF reboot news comes less than a day after it was announced that the Walt Disney Company had made a deal to acquire Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion. Word of the deal instantly spurred speculation that Marvel (and, hence, Disney) would inevitably reclaim those properties of theirs whose screen rights were held by other studios.

But, as Variety points out, "Fox controls Fantastic Four in perpetuity -- as long as it continues making the films. Fox has the same arrangement on Marvel Comics properties X-Men, Daredevil and Silver Surfer. Marvel is a producer and financial participant through a licensing agreement."

I liked the first movie but the second one was blah.

Reboot already? That "series" of two movies is all of 5 minutes old.

Aodhan McDunnough

All of 5 minutes old and made largely of trash. Acting-wise only Chiklis was doing good.

Isn't it time they realised that neither Hulk nor Fantastic 4 work on the big screen?

There was an early draft of the Fantastic Four movie script which was inspired by The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night. It had been written by Buffy and Pushing Daisies writer Doug Petrie, and would have been directed by Peyton Reed (Down With Love) possibly as a 60s period piece. I would've liked to have seen that film.

I thought that the first Hulk movie was pretty good. It was a lot better than the first one.

Mukatsuku

I really hated both due to the CGI Hulk. It just made it impossible for me to get into

There was also a Fantastic Four movie made by Roger Corman, but the studio had some problem and it never got released (until it leaked to the internet)

Teeny Leviathan

It was never meant to be released. The whole thing was a legal maneuver.
