“It’s clobberin’ time.”

Co-written and directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle), Fantastic Four is a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s First Family, based on the Ultimate Fantastic Four comic book series by Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Millar, and Adam Kubert.

Childhood friends Reed Richards (Miles Teller) and Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell) create a prototype teleporter, attracting the attention of Franklin Storm (Reg E. Cathey), director of the Baxter Foundation, a government-sponsored research institute for gifted youngsters. Reed is recruited to join the institute and work with Storm’s children, Sue (Kate Mara) and Johnny (Michael B. Jordan), to complete the “Quantum Gate.”

Designed by Victor Von Doom (Toby Kebbell), the Quantum Gate is an inter-dimensional teleportation device that allows travel to a place known only as “Planet Zero.” After completing the project, Reed, Johnny, and Victor recruit Ben and commandeer the Quantum Gate for an unsanctioned expedition into the unknown.

In what has become a quintessential part of making a “going to space” movie, the dreaded interview process to determine mental faculties is now a staple of the genre. In a new spot for The Martian, we see Matt Damon and crew answer the really tough questions after being isolated for 10 days. Tough questions like…why Aquaman shouldn’t be able to control whales because whales aren’t fish, they’re mammals.

Yeah, this movie is gonna be awesome. Check out the official synopsis and movie spot video below.

Fox is making one last marketing push to promote the odd Fantastic Four. The film has gone through a few marketing struggles, with some acting uninterested after seeing the first two trailers, while some dedicated fans expressed their outrage towards how the marketing team descriptions changed the team’s powers.

In just a few weeks, though, the film will come out, and the studio has released one final trailer (which happens to be the same trailer shown at Comic-Con) to convince us that this is the Fantastic Four that fans have been waiting for. Check out the trailer below.

The Fantastic Four reboot was also part of 20th Century Fox’s Comic-Con panel on Saturday evening.

Director Josh Trank, writer and producer Simon Kinberg, and stars Miles Teller (Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic), Kate Mara (Sue Storm aka the Invisible Woman), Jamie Bell (Ben Grimm aka the Thing), Michael B. Jordan (Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch), and Toby Kebbell (Victor Von Doom aka Doctor Doom) were all on hand to discuss the movie.

Ridley Scott‘s adaptation of Andy Weir‘s The Martian, is probably one of the most anticipated films of the year. Based on a screenplay written by Drew Goddard, the film sees Matt Damon and a star-studded cast as a team of astronauts sent by NASA, on a mission to explore Mars. When a storm hits the red planet, the crew is forced to make an emergency escape, but Damon is accidentally left behind. Will he survive? Will NASA take responsibility for his death?

You’ll just have to find out by watching the trailer below.
