Tom:
@Jeans: Yeah, here in Australia we have the same problem also, are you sure that because Disney's in control pay distribution is going to change?

--- Quote from: September 1st Comic Reel --- FANTASTIC FOUR
Despite the sale of Marvel Entertainment to Disney, "The Fantastic Four" will remain at Twentieth Century Fox. Variety reports Akiva Goldsman has been brought on to produce a reboot of the franchise. Michael Green, co-writers of "Green Lantern" has been tapped to provide the script. Since this is being classified as a reboot, it will, presumably, feature a completely new cast./quote]

It should also be noted that Goldsman's resume also includes such hits as I, Robot, Deep Blue Sea, Lost in Space and Batman & Robin.
I smell Oscar!
Chesire Cat:
Is that sarcasm? Because thats a pretty shit resume.

It's a particularly nice setup when you consider the inroads Disney has as a distributor and marketing machine in foreign countries compared to Marvel. That's not to say Marvel ignores foreign markets and or anything (Marvel UK disproves that idea out of hand), but Disney is well, Disney. Even the Ducktales TV series was translated to a bazillion different languages. I don't really know much about current comics trends, but I do know historically that even taken alone Disney's comics division has often had a bigger presence overseas than Marvel. Rather makes sense when you consider that Steve Rogers was probably a hard sell during the Suez Crisis...

Amusing, because Goldsman actually has an Oscar (for A Beautiful Mind).
Also, I, Robot was decent. He was also only co-writer. Seriously, the dude's resume looks like a checklist of awful action movies.
