‘Fantastic Four’: Reboot Is Emotional, Trailer In The Works Says Simon Kinberg
Details for the "Fantastic Four" reboot have yet to be revealed. Nothing official has been announced yet for the comic book adaptation. Even set photos have not been leaked and details as to when a trailer will be released remains uncertain.
Comicbook.com caught up with screenwriter Simon Kinberg to ask what the fans are wondering about: What would "Fantastic Four" as a reboot actually look like? A movie preview would supposedly answer this question. However, Kinberg claimed he's not positive when the trailer will be released. "I don't actually know when it's coming out, but I've seen all the footage from the movie," he said.
However, on a good note, Kinberg revealed that they are working on the trailer. "We're putting it together now and one of the important things, because this Fantastic Four is a reboot and is such a different tonality and vibe from those other films, we want to make sure that the first thing we put out really expresses the voice of the movie and isn't compromised by not having visual effects ready, or anything like that," he added.
While fans wait for the first trailer to be released, Simon Kinberg assured that the reboot will be "very different from other superhero movies." He claimed he was practically present during the whole shoot and assured fans that "Fantastic Four" will have people anticipating the movie's release. The Josh Trank film will reportedly be very emotional, character-driven and more grounded.
Miles Teller, who plays as Reed Richards, previously also revealed the same "more grounded" storyline for "Fantastic Four." In an interview with Vulture, the "Whiplash" actor claimed the tone of the reboot will be very different. There will be no old characters as opposed to the 2005 film starring Michael Chiklis (Thing), Chris Evans (Human Torch) and Jessica Alba (Invisible Woman), to name a few. Fans will take the movie seriously since the superheroes will reportedly be portrayed as real people.
"Fantastic Four" opens in U.S. cinemas on Aug. 7, 2015. It remains uncertain as to what the reboot has in store for fans until a trailer and more movie details are released.
