New FANTASTIC FOUR Poster and Miles Teller Says The Film Will Humanize The Heroes
20th Century Fox has unveiled a new poster for Josh Trank's Fantastic Four, the upcoming reboot of the comic book franchise that hits theaters this summer. Fans have been really mixed with their reactions to the teaser trailer, but I think it's safe to say that we're all hoping the film turns out to be enjoyable.
Meanwhile, star Miles Teller (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic) recently gave an interview to Moviefone (random trivia: Moviefone was co-founded by The Jinx & All Good Things director Andrew Jarecki!) and spoke about seeing the teaser for the first time:
When I saw the sizzle trailer, that was the first I had seen of it. I saw that at the same time as everyone else, literally. I was excited about it. Because when you're shooting a movie you can kind of get a sense of the tone of it from the director and how they're directing it, but in terms of how you shoot it, the lighting and everything, you're not aware of it. Because I'm just in a scene and I'm talking to another actor but the way he's seeing it in his head, where it's grittier or darker, I'm not acting grittier or darker. All that stuff comes in with the edit. So I'm excited by it. All the actors are really interesting in those parts and it should be fun. I hope people go on that ride with us. Because we're making it our own, we're taking a lot from the "Ultimate Fantastic Four" but I think we're humanizing these characters in a way that's never been done.
He was also asked if he's excited about doing a sequel, and since he's presumably signed for at least three FF movies, it's pretty obvious that unless the film bombs, he's going to be stepping into that classic costume once again:
I mean, the more superhero stuff you get to do, the cooler it is. We'll see what happens, but yes, absolutely, as the thing evolves they should start to materialize to the Fantastic Four people more readily associate with.
Fantastic Four arrives on August 7th, 2015.
