Oh, to
be an unstable molecule...

Everybody
got their containers of Morton's Iodized Salt ready?
An anonymous
scooper e-mailed Fanboy Planet this afternoon claiming to
have inside information on the Fantastic Four movie.
First,
the script's great. Well, we all hope that, so I'm not going
to comment.
And
second, running in from left field and at no time mentioned
in any of the trade papers' speculating, not only has The
Invisible Woman, Susan Storm-Richards, been cast, but she's
Sarah Wynter. Not Jessica Alba. Not Rachel McAdams. Not
Kerry Russell.
Certainly,
the Australian actress (you saw her last year regularly
on 24) is much closer in age to Ioan Gruffudd and
Michael Chiklis than the named candidates, but since when
has the Hollywood casting machine ever cared about the creepiness
and unlikelihood of a young girl falling in love with a
guy in his thirties?
Then
again...she looks the part. She's a decent actress. And
sorry, but Jessica Alba is not Susan Storm.
If the
trades break this story on Monday, you guys remember you
SAW IT HERE FIRST!
UPDATE:
As of 7/14/04, The Hollywood Reporter says it's Jessica
Alba. Who are we to disagree? Our scooper was wrong, though
boy, it would have been nice to be right. Or at least to
have not written a sentence like Jessica Alba is not
Susan Storm.
Because
she is.
It's
no disrespect to Miss Alba -- she's smoking hot and can
act. And she's smoking hot. So clearly, that weighed heavily.
Did
you hear that Michael Bay will be playing Dr. Doom?
