10 Radical Ideas To Save The Fantastic Four Franchise

9. Fantastic Four Redux

They€™ve already spent $120 million on the Fantastic Four reboot. Why not throw some good money after the bad, and try to engineer a version which makes sense? Perhaps a version of the film could be made which doesn€™t suck quite as badly. It could be crafted to tie in with the sequel idea already mentioned, or simply stand alone as a DVD/Blu-Ray release. It might require a minor reshoot or two: it might only end up being an hour long, in which case Fox happen to run a television network that they could release the new cut on for free, as a kind of publicity coup. Regardless, even if it€™s not setting up an upcoming sequel or geared up to recoup some of the money the film didn€™t make the first time around, posterity would appreciate the attempt€ and if it€™s well received, maybe that would persuade 20th Century Fox executives to greenlight the sequel again.
