"Fantastic Four" Theatrical Poster
Josh Trank, the co-writer/director of 2012’s Chronicle, scored a major hit with that film’s ‘found footage’ take on the superhero genre. He’s been rewarded with the task of rebooting the Fantastic Four. The movie will star Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, Toby Kebbell, Reg E. Cathey and Tim Blake Nelson. It has a release date set for August 7, 2015.
This will be 20th Centry Fox’s second attempt at launching Marvel Comics’ cosmic family into a successful movie franchise. Trank will be assisted by producer Matthew Vaughn, a filmmaker who has some experience with comic book material: he directed both X-Men: First Class and Kick Ass. | Watch the 1st teaser trailer.

I actually liked the F4 films for what they were. At least they weren’t as bad as the Roger Corman one, anyway.
I dunno. Silver Surfer and Galactus were poorly wedged into that F4 sequel. It’s about time they got their own film, anyway.
Not surprised if FOX decides to give up the rights in the end. These properties weren’t big hits for the company like X-Men and Wolverine.
Marvel’s movies are starting to feel like they’re made on an assembly line…I’d like to see Fox redo Fantastic Four and Daredevil with the same respectful approach they took on Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
