INTERSTELLAR / FANTASTIC FOUR Trailer Mashup Works Surprisingly Well

After months of silence, the first trailer for Josh Trank's Fantastic Four debuted this morning. You've probably seen it by now, but in case you haven't, watch it here. The director and writer/producer Simon Kinberg have provided a commentary for the trailer as well as some details on their influences for the film in a new interview, so be sure to check those out if you're interested.

A lot of people have pointed out the similarities between this teaser and a Christopher Nolan movie, citing the "realistic" tone, the contemplative score, and even a shot of a plane that looks very much like a similar shot from The Dark Knight Rises. But since Fantastic Four deals with inter-dimensional travel and has a considerable amount of sci-fi in it, perhaps the most apt comparison is to Nolan's most recent film, Interstellar.

YouTube user GunsAndJR had the same thought, and he cut together a mashup video that combines Matthew McConaughey's voiceover from one of Interstellar's teasers with the images from the Fantastic Four teaser, and it actually works pretty well. Thanks to my Facebook friend Rudie Obias for pointing this out.
