re: new fantastic four trailer

The big question I have for a movie like this is what is the marketing angle for using a franchise with a familiar story and then changing key components of the back-story?

The core comic book nerds typically are enraged and disgruntled. And with a product like the FF that doesn't have the core appeal of a Superman or even a Spiderman I don't think you get as many casual viewers from teh general public.

Honestly the trailer doesn't look bad - if you never heard of the FF before - but when you know the backstory and have expectations for the origin of their powers, the characters ages/relationships, and the characteristics of their major enemy I don't know why they don't just make a different movie not named FF
