And seriously, even before that point, if this FF doesn't do great, but they get a script they really like with a more comics-based approach in the meantime, there's nothing stopping them from greenlighting another reboot well before those rights run out. Their ambition is to actually make money off the property, not just hold onto it for kicks, after all. All it takes is a different studio exec with different ideas, or even the same one if they're fickle enough.
