10 Worst Comic Book Castings in Film History

3. Jessica Alba As Sue Storm in Fantastic Four

Let€™s all face it; the studio cast Jessica Alba as Sue Storm because she is foremost among Hollywood sex symbols. Fan-boys cheered when Alba appeared naked (although invisible) on screen, and she certainly turned heads in her tight, Fantastic Four body-suit. Any time an actress gets cast for sex appeal, the results are usually deadly. Look at the most recent outing in the Transformers franchise? Michael Bay casts women that are drop-dead gorgeous in a Hollywood way, but his alternative to a cocky Megan Fox was a Victoria€™s Secret model that looks both anorexic (I€™ve seen pictures where her rib cage scarily sticks out) and can€™t act to save her life. Seriously, when your naturally British accent sounds fake, something is wrong. But I digress, back to Jessica Alba. Wait, I forgot, we€™ve pretty much talked about everything that is important€”how she looks. Sue Storm needs someone that can pull off intelligent, not just cheesy WB/CW acting. Someone that can pull off blonde a little better would have helped as well. There are plenty of actresses out there that could do well as Sue Storm. Who They Should Have Cast: Anna Torv of €œFringe€

28 year old male likes long walks on the beaches and romantic dinners in the...whoa...wrong posting. Greetings all! If you are reading this, you probably want to know a thing or two about me. I am indeed a 28 year old dude from Oregon, I'm happily married, and I am a creative professional that does graphic design and photography to try (keyword is try) to make money in this crazy world we live in. I'm totally insane about film and the arts, and I have some pretty strong political/religious/social opinions as well. I draw quite a bit of inspiration from film, and often use it as a lens for viewing the world. On this site, you’ll catch me writing about a variety of, well, stuff, and you can agree, disagree, or be indifferent, but any way you look at it, I love a good argument (I forgot to mention that I studied philosophy for two years, so argumentation, as long as it is good, gets me all excited). Happy blogging to all!
