Jordan to confirm, finally, that he is taking the role of Johnny Storm in The Fantastic Four: a message that just says “Flame On!” complete with a close-up of the classic ‘4’ chest emblem. Casting Jordan is just a great idea. He’s an excellent actor, and has the chops to stand up to the equally talented Miles Teller, who is nearly set to appear as Reed Richards....

VOTD: ‘Toy Story’ Characters Modded Into ‘Grand Theft Auto’ By Germain Lussier/March 5, 2013 6:00 am EST Woody and Buzz are arguably two of the most popular characters Disney has created in decades. They’re friendly, they’re funny, they’re leaders and models of good behavior. Except, of course, when some crazy person them mods them into the world of Grand Theft Auto.
