There’s been a lot said about the upcoming Josh Trank directed reboot The Fantastic Four in recent weeks since Toby Kebbell revealed some plot details about his character Dr. Doom, and most of it has been fairly negative.
Speaking recently to MTV’s Josh Horowitz, Miles Teller – who plays leader of the group Reed Richards – defended the reboot saying “We’re proud of what we did.”
The lack of marketing and unnecessary secrecy from Fox has also been another negative factor for the movie according to the internet and Teller responded by saying “If you want to go on the internet and find out what every person has to say about it, it’s very easy to find that and you can kinda get caught up in the whole thing.”
Teller also spoke about when we might see some footage, “We’re right on schedule…we shot the whole thing during the summer and images have started to come out…I don’t know when they’re gonna show it but the movie doesn’t come out until next August. They just showed something for Jurassic World and that movie comes out a couple months before ours…I think it’s right on schedule.”
The Fantastic Four is set for release on August 7th 2015, with Josh Trank (Chronicle) directing a cast that includes Miles Teller (Divergent) as Mr. Fantastic, Kate Mara (American Horror Story) as the Invisible Woman, Michael B. Jordan (Fruitville Station) as the Human Torch, Jamie Bell (Nymphomaniac) as The Thing, Toby Kebbell (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) as Doctor Doom, Reg E. Cathey (The Wire) as Dr. Storm, and Tim Blake Nelson (The Incredible Hulk) as Harvey Elder.

I’m betting, just like the original 1994 FF movie, this will never be released. It will be buried, only made to retain the movie rights
Anthony Donovan Stokes says
You think a major studio is going to spend millions of dollars on a tentpole and not release it just to retain the rights? okay.
fmfTint says
they already have, google 1994 fantastic four
HolyFranchiseBatman! says
The budget for 1994 was only a million I believe. Saying that, we haven’t heard what the budget of this reboot is…
Anthony Donovan Stokes says
they released it on television and that was a significantly smaller budgeted film
stainedglassscarlet says
No, it did not air on television. It was made just to hold onto the rights with no plan for release. This current film is being made to hold onto the rights but they do intend to release it.

Anthony is a paid shill, he’s not going to acknowledge facts.
Mr.Sixes says

Izzy says
Idk why really but I hate Miles Teller.
Rick Stevenson says
Well, of course he’s saying they’re proud of their work. What else is he going to say? “Oh, it’s going to just absolutely suck. Don’t see it.” Stupid. Not that it matters: this is going to bomb. This is going to be a ridiculous fail, and hopefully it leads to Sony finally giving Marvel back the FF.
Foxy McFox says
Fox 😉
Mr.Sixes says
…he kinda said that about divergent and really didn’t do too much press for that
nerdrrage says
I would pay real money if some studio hack would do just that. Who cares if you nerds hate it, do you think people in China even know who Reed Richards is supposed to be? All of you can stay home, and we’ll still make bank on the global box office. If Michael Bay’s shit can make money, anybody can.
Kyle Hoschar says
i dont think he changed any minds here
Mr.Sixes says
He didn’t intended to he basically said “f the hatrs”
chr7s7 says

Lord G says
This movie is going to blow major chunks and I only hope FOX gives MARVEL back the rights before AVENGERS 3 so we can have Galactus and the Silver Surfer in the Infinity Wars!!!
The Ultimate Nerd says
They’re so proud they haven’t released a teaser, poster, logo or title and have their legal team make sure the only pic that aactually has been seen, trash bag dark elf doom, is taken down wherever it appears.
