It sounds like Chronicle director Josh Trank and Fox's superhero-movie overseer Mark Millar have been hard at work prepping for Fantastic Four Reborn.
In a recent interview with SciFi Now, Millar discussed how excited he is for Trank's fresh spin on the franchise. "From what I've seen and from talking to [Trank]," Millar began, "he and I have had dinner a couple of times and we talk quite regularly as well -- he's contemporarising it. I think he's just making it work for the screen -- he's a great storyteller.
"Chronicle, if you think about it, was similar to Fantastic Four in that it was a bunch of people who were transformed into something more than human -- that turned out almost his calling card to come and do something like Fantastic Four," he said.
But despite Trank's more serious roots, Millar notes that the filmmaker also has a flair for the lighter side of FF. He continued, "What I wasn't expecting actually was just how funny and likeable he could make this as well as getting the more awesome moments on screen -- I use 'awesome' in the traditional British sense and not the California sense of 'awesome,' you know? The Ridley Scott moments, and the Fantastic Four really are jaw-dropping in the same way you feel when you saw Alien for the first time. There's some moments in this -- not to be specific -- that are actually gonna be phenomenal on screen and stuff you haven't seen in a superhero movie before."
Fantastic Four Reborn is slated for a March 6, 2015, release.
