Michael B. Jordan Responds To FANTASTIC FOUR Haters "They'll Still Go See It Anyway."
Is there such thing as a day where we receive no news regarding Fox's Fantastic Four reboot? I'll answer that simply... No. Earlier today, TMZ filmed a very brief video where they asked That Awkward Moment star, Michael B. Jordan, who will appear in 2015's The Fantastic Four as Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, how he felt about the internet's backlash against his casting. Jordan simply said, "Ah it's alright, at the end of the day, they'll still be the ones in the seats." While Jordan's comments are pretty funny, what's funny is how true his comments actually are. For examples of this, please seek out the internet's reaction to Heath Ledger being cast as The Joker and Christian Bale being cast as Batman. You can check out TMZ's video below.

Roby Reviews: THAT AWKWARD MOMENT Starring 50% Of THE FANTASTIC FOUR
Conventional romantic comedies are possibly some of the worst things you could ever wish to see. But very rarely does a conventional romantic comedy, boast broad and some-what realistic characters. Ironically, the film, That Awkward Moment is actually pretty cool.
Starring Michael B. Jordan, Zac Efron and Miles Teller, this romantic comedy is no great, new addition to the rather long list of romantic comedies, but where this film succeeds is where other films in this genre often fail. First let's talk about the characters, whilst I was watching the film, I found myself connecting more and more with Miles Teller's character, he's the guy who's always had a friend who was a girl, but wasn't anything more than a friend. He was funny and witty, much like myself. I hope that does not sound as biased as I think it did, anyway, Michael B. Jordan's character is a college grad who was married way too young and Zac Efron plays... Zac Efron. While the characters are not new additions to the genre, the chemistry between the three was undeniable, with The Fantastic Four co-stars Miles Teller and Michael B. Jordan really standing out. In fact, if you're one of the guys or gals who is not sure if Fox made the right move casting these two, go watch this and check out their chemistry, it's pretty great.
This film is no (500) Days Of Summer, but it is a lot better than it really should have been, I often found myself finding the jokes to be pretty hard hitting and I found myself laughing more than my date, especially at the viagra scene, that was pretty funny. Isn't being an adolescent fun? But in all seriousness, the dialogue in this film was pretty great. As a guy in his late teens and having many guy friends, this film really nailed how guys talk when girls are not around, we talk like animals, and the writers of this film really understood that, and in turn, I think that made for a much more realistic film.
While it may be your usual run of the mill, romantic comedy, That Awkward Moment is far better than it really should be. If you're a guy looking for a film to take a date to, why not this one? It's funny, it's some-what realistic, and it's ultimately a realistic take on how guys interact with each other.

Michael B. Jordan Talks FANTASTIC FOUR; "It Would Be Pretty Cool."
Michael B. Jordan is perhaps Hollywood's best up-and-coming actors. After cementing his place as a talent too watch after 2013's Fruitvale Station, Jordan has since been rumoured to star in several of the biggest upcoming blockbusters, some of those include Fantastic Four and Star Wars: Episode VII. Promoting his latest film, That Awkward Moment, Jordan appeared on David Letterman to discuss the upcoming comedy, but the questions asked in Jordan's interview didn't have much to do with the film he was promoting, but rather the films he is rumoured to be in. Earlier today a rumour popped up online confirming his role as 'Johnny Storm/The Human Torch' in Josh Trank's The Fantastic Four. Obviously, if Jordan is cast, neither Trank or Fox Studios have made the casting official, so as part of the contract, Jordan must, until officially announced, make it as if he is not in the film. Letterman asked Jordan if he would be in the new Fantastic Four to which Jordan replied, "It could happen. They don't have a Human Torch at the moment, but the project is still in the process of being greenlit." Letterman later pushed the question even more, by asking what the possibility of him appearing in Fantastic Four actually is. Jordan said, "I mean there's a chance I'll be in the film. I'm a big comic book guy, and the director, Josh Trank, is a big buddy of mine. We did Chronicle together which got me places. So if it happens... Maybe." After a few more questions about other projects, Letterman asked Jordan if he would be interested in playing The Human Torch, too which he replied, "It would be pretty cool. Yeah it would be pretty cool. Yeah, it would."
After the recent rumour saying that Jordan has got the role, and is auditioning with other actors to see which group has the best chemistry, it is pretty much confirmed that Jordan will nab the role of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch. While this casting is not the most obvious, it is a fantastic casting the more you think about it. Jordan is a fantastic young talent, and locking him in for a role before either Marvel or DC, is a stroke of genius on behalf of Fox and Josh Trank. Let us know how you feel of Michael B. Jordan's comments!
