The Fantastic Four

arib's journal, I commented on the state of CGI and how we can now render people well enough to four-color super heroes. (The comment is in his review of Matrix Revolutions. No link because of the spoilers that lurk there.)
I then asked, who would play von Doom? Well, how about everyone? So, cast a movie!
Reed Richards - Mr. Fantastic. Super genius, able to stretch his body to amazing lengths and almost invulnerable to physical damage. He should be able to play, noble, dedicated, smart and clueless. Late thirties- mid forties.
Sue Storm/Richards - The Invisible Girl/Woman. Can turn invisible, and project invisible force fields. As originally written, she was a girly girl. Later, she was Reed's wife and became a much stronger character. Early thirties.
Johnny Storm - The Human Torch. Bursts into flame, can shoot flames, and fly. Can focus enough heat to burn through almost everything. Early twenties, thrill seeker. Twenties.
Ben Grimm - The Thing. A massive of living rock. Immensely strong, can go toe to toe with the Hulk. Real wise-ass at times. For most of this movie, he will be entirely a CGI character. Gruff, heart-of-gold type. Mid forties.
Victor von Doom - Doctor Doom. The arch-nemesis of the FF. A megalomaniac who uses science and occasionally magic to try and conquer the world! Wears a battle suit that hides his scared face. Same age as Reed.
Feel free to add any characters from the FF story lines you like. Except for Franklin Richards. Ick.
