“X-Men” writer Simon Kinberg has seen the footage from director Josh Trank’s “Fantastic Four” reboot.
During an interview with ComicBook, Kinberg isn’t sure when fans will be able to see the first clip from director Josh Trank’s “Fantastic Four” reboot, but confirmed it’s unlike any other superhero film out now.
“We’re putting it together now, and one of the important things, because this Fantastic Four is a reboot, and is such a different tonality and vibe from those other films, we want to make sure that the first thing we put out really expresses the voice of the movie, and isn’t compromised by not having visual effects ready, or anything like that,” Kinberg said.
“I don’t actually know when it’s coming out, but I’ve seen all the footage from the movie. I was there for pretty much the whole shoot. It is a very different film from the others, and one that I think is very different from other superhero movies. It’s a very emotional, character-driven, more grounded film than I think people are anticipating.”
Kinberg, who is also the producer for the upcoming “X-Men: Apocalypse” film, also told ComicBook earlier in October an “X-Men” and “Fantastic Four” crossover movie could happen in the future.
“I love the characters, I love the characters in Fan Four, and I love the new cast. Obviously I love the characters and cast of X-Men,” he said. “So, hypothetically, the notion of putting them together is really intriguing, and there’s some really fun stuff that the comics have done in the past. So it’s not out of the realm of possibility.”
The “Fantastic Four” reboot is set to open in theaters on August 7, 2015.
