The Real Reason Jessica Alba Hated Making Fantastic Four

Alba has suffered through more than her share of serious critical busts, but the Fantastic Four movies seemed to be the last straw. Venting about all the bad scripts she'd accepted over the years, Alba told Elle, "Good actors never use the script unless it's amazing writing. All the good actors I've worked with, they all say whatever they want to say."

The reaction to those comments was swift. Screenwriter John August took her to task for her perceived rudeness, writing: "Following your logic, you've never been in a movie with both good actors and amazing writing. That may be true, but it might hurt the feelings of David Wain, Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller." Still, it's telling that August failed to put Fantastic Four director Tim Story on his list. Maybe he recognized that Alba might've been at least a little bit justified.
