We're just a week away from the release of Josh Trank's FANTASTIC FOUR and as Fox has placed an embargo on reviews of the film until just before its release, it unfortunately seems as though they don't have much confidence in the film. Of course there's always a chance that a lot of the negative reaction the film has accumulated will be proven false and we may actually be in for an exciting superhero film which finally puts Marvel's first family on top; or not, but we'll have to wait and see.
In the meantime, Fox has released a first clip from the film which has Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, and Toby Kebbell preparing to head into a new dimension. Check it out below!
I really do hope that FANTASTIC FOUR manages to surprise us, I really do. I've always loved The Fantastic Four and it feels greatly disappointing that they've never been depicted on the big-screen as successfully as some of their heroic peers have been.
Here’s the official synopsis for Fantastic Four:
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.
FANTASTIC FOUR opens on August 7, 2015.
