There have been rumours of trouble surrounding the production of the reboot of Fantastic Four, which has led some to write it off already. However reports from a couple of preview screenings have been pretty good, and it may end up surprising even the studio (which seems uncertain about the film).

Now we get our best taste yet with a four-minute extended preview of the movie, which you can take a look at below. It actually looks pretty good – more serious than the last take on the Marvel characters, but still with a sense of fun.

Here’s the 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 new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.’

The film is in UK cinemas August 6th. [Read more…]

There are still a lot of questions hanging over the reboot of Fantastic Four (rumours of extensive reshoots and problems with the original cut haven’t helped matters), but the trailer have actually looked pretty cool, and this ‘final’ promo is no exception.

Take a look at it below.

Gone are Ioan Gruffudd, Chris Evans and co. and they’re been replaced by the youthful Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Michael B. Jordan. And now to give us a better look some character posters have arrived.

Well, you don’t get to see Jamie Bell, as he’s been turned into the hulking CGI form of The Thing, while Teller is Mr. Fantastic, Jordan the Human Torch and Mara the Invisible Woman.

20th Century Fox had a fairly late start marketing their reboot of Fantastic Four and when the first trailer arrived, it didn’t show us much. However now a new one has arrived and it gives us a much better look at the movie, including a proper look at The Thing, Doctor Doom and the heroes various powers.

It suggests a far less jokey take than the movies from a few years ago, but one that’s still fun.
