Invisible Girl: Alba makes it 'Fantastic Four'
Jessica Alba has been cast as the Invisible Girl for 20th Century Fox's upcoming Marvel Comics adaptation "Fantastic Four." Alba, whose features include "Sin City" and "Out of the Blue," beat out stiff competition for the role that included Rachel McAdams and Elizabeth Banks. She joins Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans and Ioan Gruffudd as the adventure-seeking quartet made up of scientist Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic (Gruffudd); his love interest, Susan Storm/the Invisible Girl (Alba); her brother, Johnny Storm/the Human Torch (Chris Evans); and Reed's best friend, Benjamin Grimm/the Thing (Chiklis). The four develop superpowers when their spaceship is exposed to cosmic radiation. Tim Story is set to direct. Producers include Avi Arad's Marvel Studios, 1492 Pictures, Constantin Films and Ralph Winter. At Fox, TCF senior vp Alex Young is overseeing for division head Hutch Parker. Simon Kinberg is writing the script. Alba is repped by Endeavor. (Liza Foreman and Borys Kit)
It looks like that the story of the movie will be based more upon the new Ultimate Fantastic Four series out now. In that story, they get their powers when Reed's old college buddy Victor Van Damme purpsefully screws up Reed's transdimentional machine's coordinates, and makes the future Four and Van Damme get teleported through a strange dimension which gives them their powers and then landing on different corners of the Earth.
"Snootch to the nootch."
