FANTASTIC FOUR 2 is coming sooner than you think... consider this fair warning!

From AICN, "Hey folks, Harry here... Well those wacky minds at Fox are at it again - they've torpedoed the Futuristic Special Effect ridden Jay Roach comedy with Jim Carrey and Ben Stiller - which... might not have been the worst idea - but the odd thing is... they took USED GUYS release date of JUNE 15th, 2007 and gave it to FANTASTIC FOUR 2 which had the terrible date, which probably never would have worked for marketing... JULY 4TH, 2007. Oh well, God knows that getting a few extra weeks for post is idle time that all filmmakers hate... I'm sure everyone on the FANTASTIC FOUR 2 team are ecstatic to have a couple of weeks shaved off their schedule. Why the blink? Oh the other little film being released on JULY 4th, 2007... it's Michael Bay's multi-ton mechanized robotic bit of badassness... TRANSFORMERS... so maybe it was a good idea to get out of the way... The only way FANTASTIC FOUR 2 could blow that film away would be if it was a great FANTASTIC FOUR movie. Blink. Oh, I get it."

For fuck's sake, Harry can't even write the tiniest blurb with any kind of coherent style. It's like reading one of Grant Morrison's clumsier scripts, but not in a good way.

I'm equally meh on FF and Transformers. Someday Michael Bay will be spirited away by those weird, black-clad dudes from The Eye and we'll just pretend there never was a Michael Bay.
