Cards on the table, I’ve never been a huge
Fantastic Four fan, either in comic book or movie form
(okay, the low-budget Roger Corman version is certainly a sight to behold), so
I’ve been solidly on the fence about Josh Trank’s upcoming version. Still not
entirely sold, this new trailer that just dropped is the best thing we’ve seen
from the film thus far.
You definitely see the “body horror” elements Trank has
promised come into play, and I have to admit, the Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic
stretching effects looks pretty cool in the small glimpses we get here. We also
get our best look yet at Dr. Doom, or whetever the hell he’s called here, which
is nice.
Here’s a synopsis:
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.
Like I said, I’m not entirely stoked on this, but it looks
more and more interesting the more we see. Fantastic Four
hits August 7. Check out the trailer below.
