Miles Teller is adamant that Josh Trank's Fantastic Four movie is very different from the last two...
Recently pushed to an August release date to try and replicate the success Marvel enjoyed with Guardians Of The Galaxy, Fox's Fantastic Four reboot is currently in post production. Director Josh Trank - who's next attached to a Star Wars spin-off film - has gathered together a new cast for his Fantastic Four, including Miles Teller as Reed Richards.
Teller has been chatting to Vultureabout the new movie, and is adamant that "it's different in every way" from the previous two films. "All those actors were a lot older, their characters were in different places. The tone of this film is completely different: We don’t have Michael Chiklis in a big Styrofoam thing," Teller said.
"You’re dealing with these characters but you’re making them real people in how they exist day-to-day. People wanted it to be taken more seriously than the kind of Dick Tracy, kitschy, overly comic-book world".
So will people be keen to see it, or has superhero saturation kicked in? "It depends on the product," Teller observed. He might just be right there, even if we'd prefer the word 'film' to 'product'...
Fantastic Four lands in August 2015. We, er, quite liked Dick Tracy...
