Yes, barely any time has passed since the last FF movie and already 20th Centruy Fox are rebooting the franchise with a darker origins story with a whole new cast.
Obviously ripping off, i mean taking it's lead from the Dark Knight and Batman Begins they are keen to retool their films into more serious films that film fans are expecting nowadays.
My problem with this isn't the timing, its that FF are, well, crap. I mean the first film it took four of them to beat the villain. And they look crap. And none of them really had anything about them that set them apart as heroes. They were all a bit whiny.
I say scrap this duff idea and find new properties to option.
