4 Reboot

It is very hard to try to get the Hollywood logic. Read enough of those insider books and you find that even those in Hollywood have trouble explaining the way this industry thinks. Take for example Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. The first movie cost $100 million to make, It went on to gross $154,696,080 domestically and $175,883,639 in foreign markets. This adds to a worldwide gross of $330,579,719. The sequel cost $130 million to make, then grossed $131,921,738 domestic, and $157,126,025 foreign, and that adds up to $289,047,763 worldwide. This kind of success is hard to ignore - even if critics and some fanboys wish they could. So what's the point here? So you have hits on your hands despite the critics so what do you decide to do? A third movie? Nope? Hollywood, or more specifically 20th Century Fox has made the decision to reboot the franchise. That's right kids, the Fox has hire producer Akiva Goldman - who's busy doing Jonah Hex as well as The Losers and Teen Titans. They've also tapped Michael Green to write the script. Green is currently an executive producer on Heroes and also co-wrote might or might not be coming Green Lantern movie. Admittedly there were some problems with the first two Fantastic Four movies, but very few can argue with their success. So why not simply do a new movie continuing the story fix the obvious problems? Rebooting the whole thing from the beginning, you'd never catch comic companies doing that. . .oh crap. . .nevermind.
