I must say I am impressed with these initial shots of the cast in their Fantastic 4 attire. The Thing looks waaaay cooler than I thought he would.

Looks like there was a tear in the costume. They all look cool but The Thing looks small. | dwaters

I thought the Reed Richards guy was Jon Stewart at first.
Was hoping The Thing would be a little closer to the comic version....we'll see how it plays in the film...

Yeah, but I don't think that came on until later. At the start of the movie she's Dr. Doom's plaything. | DrOp

Reposted on: 24.9.11 1529.01 | The Thing supposedly looks more like the original Jack Kirby design now (don't know if that's what the producers were going for or if it just made for an easier costume) ... And that Jessica Alba pic REALLY makes me pine for some "Dark Angel" reruns.

From comicscontinuum.com:
[Chiklis] did not want the role if The Thing was going to be a CG character.
"I felt that I would be wasted," he said. "I was assured from the get-go that that wasn't going to be the case, and I was thrilled. They would use some CGI enhancements in creating nuances"
I'm guessing the brow would be one of those nuances. | KaneRobot

Reposted on: 26.9.11 0031.16 | Would you want *your* name attached to a potential bomb and then end up having almost nothing to do with the portrayal of your character? If they did it like the CGI Hulk there'd be almost nothing for him to do except voice-over. And there are plenty of good voice actors they could hire instead.

Reposted on: 26.9.11 1346.45 | | Exactly. Chiklis is one helluva fantastic actor. One of the best bad asses right now. He was most likely chosen for this reason - so why would the producers NOT want to use his strengths in the film? I'm not a comic book fan, but because of Chiklis and the cool look to the costumes, I'm looking forward to this. | AWArulz

Here's another link to another pic of chiklis as the Thing (warning: pop-ups)
