They call this trailer for Fox's reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise a teaser trailer but it's almost 2 minutes long. I don't think the word teaser means what they think it means. Surprisingly it's not as terrible looking as most assumed it would be. Don't get me wrong, I still assume this will be a complete pile of garbage and beyond Roger Ebert rising from the grave to give it 4 stars I won't be seeing it in the theater.
Josh Trank, the writer and director, has made a lot of hay this morning by claiming this interpretation of the FF will be "hard sci-fi". Again... I don't think that word means what he thinks it means. By saying hard sci-fi I think Trank and Fox are trying to temper expectations that this is going to be a traditional (and in their opinion boring) superhero movie. Anyway the movie comes out in August and they just went back to reshoot some scenes, so I'm sure everything is going swimmingly.
It's funny that every studio and their grandmother wants to copy Marvel's success with their film franchises yet no one wants to make a superhero movie or at the very least they want to take the source material and throw it in the toilet first. Good luck with that, just don't be shocked when your movie tanks and Captain Marvel makes like a billion dollars.
