A New Take On The Fantastic Four As Teaser Trailer Pops Up!
January 27, 2015 by brennon
The new trailer for Fant4stic or indeed, Fantastic Four, popped up online today showing off the cast and a glimpse as to how they came to be the fabulous foursome. Gone are the bright blue outfits it seems and we're getting a much more gritty look at this team...
The new trailer shows the four heading off on some kind of experimental mission which sends them to an alternate universe...
"The Fantastic Four, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy."
Dr Doom and Mole Man are also popping up in this iteration of the Fantastic Four and it will be interesting to see if it does better than the previous outings. It certainly looks the part and with the legacy of X-Men: Fire Class and Days of Future Past being solid additions to the Fox line-up hopefully we'll have a good Fantastic Four experience.

I must confess that I have fond memories (fond.. cheesy memories) of the previous FF films, just as I did with the Spiderman trilogy.. but this new take on the Fantastic Four looks promising, particularly when Marvel seem to be washing their hands of Reed et al in comic book form.
It might be good but the trailer isn’t promising. I’m not digging the young Reed Richards in particular. Presumably Fox have to churn these out to stop the rights reverting back to Disney, who in turn cancelled the comic book.
… it may not look like a fantastic four movie … but it does look like a fantastic science fiction movie 🙂
I’m shocked how much my interest levels just raised for this 🙂
… from zero expectations, to now quite exited to see what they’ve come up with 🙂
even though fantastic four is by far the most “disney” like of the marvel comics,
this take on the story might prove quite interesting 🙂
I wouldn’t have been one for the younger Reed Richards, but having recently seen the performance that actor is capable of in Whiplash I am now entirely sold on him being cast. Will be interesting to see what he’s like in a less drama focused film.
It looks to be more based on the Ultimate FF run, so younger cast makes sense, but I still can’t take Billy Elliot seriously as the thing, and where are his pants? Do we really need to see the everlovin’ one eyed thing?
Hey! It’s Interstellar 2!
YAY!
…oh…it’s not?
What it says is: “From the studio that brought you X-Men Days of Future Past”
What I read was: “From the studio that turned Galactus into a giant thunderstorm”
I read it and thought: Not even the caterer wanted to be credited here. 😉
A giant thunderstorm is arguably better on film than a big man in a funny hat would have been.

What??? You’re not serious…. That’s like saying Thor is a silly hero because he uses a big hammer, or that the hulk is silly because he’s got green skin…..
The Thor movie kept to Kirby’s depiction of Asgard and looked fine. I bet budget rather than worries about how Galactus would look led to the change to an ultra-naff cloud.
What I had heard was that, at the time, one of the Fox execs had a “no giant robots” policy for movies produced by the studio. It was that policy that kept sentinels out of the original batch of X-Men films, and was also the reason that the studio passed on making the Transformers films. Supposedly, humanoid Galactus in his armour was considered too close to being a giant robot. Of course, at this point, I can’t remember where it was that I heard this from. So, while I am fairly positive that there was such a policy (as I… Read more »
It’s an interesting theory, but I’ve got to give a big-ol’ myth busters “plausible” to budget restrictions The CGI of Galactus’ world eater chariot (?), with the multitude of textures, shapes and animation, combined with the world destroying tentacles, on top of an already CGI heavy movie (all the heroes + surfer + the herald destruction effects)… I would guess that Galactus was last on the docket from a story line perspective (likely having as many lines as Thanatos did in Guardians of the Galaxy), and as the post production budget dwindled, the conversation was something like: “I need a… Read more »
Why?
Because it’s profitable and the rights will revert if they don’t keep making movies.
Based on that I can’t really say is this going to be good like X-Men Days of the Future Past or bad like Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Is this a Fantastic 4/Prometheus crossover? Let me guess, doctor Doom will be Space Jesus.
looks reasonable
I PASS
I guess it’s based on the Ultimate version of the FF (which I never read) but man this looks like every other generic Y.A. movie out there. It’s the visual style that the kids like I guess but so much like Maze Runner, I am 4, Divergent etc. It can’t be as bad as the Amazing Spider-man films or the other FF movies I hope but since they’re all done by the same company who screwed up the Star Wars prequels I’m not holding my breath!
