Fox has released the teaser trailer for their re-imagined The Fantastic Four.

Watch it here below!

[Update – you can now watch the trailer with filmmaker video commentary HERE; also, see the teaser poster and images from the film added here below.]

The reboot stars Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell and is directed by Josh Trank. The story leading up to this has been a production that seeks to completely make over the fabled superheroes and go a little outside of the box when it comes to portraying the team on screen. This of course met the criticism of fans who cherish the long running comic series.

Earlier today, we talked about how the teaser trailer for The Fantastic Four is coming soon and how it will reportedly show a gritty take for Fox’s reboot of the franchise from director Josh Trank (Chronicle) and screenwriters Simon Kinberg and Jeremy Slater (X-Men: Days of Future Past). But while the film hits theaters this Summer, we’ve yet to see a drop of official footage or any stills from the production, which Trank recently said in an interview with Collider was a conscious decision.

But now, Collider has revealed the first behind-the-scenes look at the production for The Fantastic Four. One photo is of Trank on set, while the other is Kinberg with star Michael B. Jordan in his Human Torch suit.

Check out the photos here below.

Funny or Die has released a new video titled Tiny Detectives, a spoof of the HBO crime drama True Detective, which stars Ellen Page and Kate Mara as…you guessed it: wee little detectives.

Not much more needs to be said than that. The video is short, funny, and you can check it out below now!

Comic book movies are never 100% adaptations of their respective source material. Not that there is anything wrong with that. In fact this is a common occurrence with many of these adaptations. Now with director Josh Trank‘s reboot of Fantastic Four in production, we will get to see just how different the material in the film is from its source.

With Comic-Con a little over a week away, fans will surely be adjusting many of their schedules to see if they can wait it out to see a panel for their favorite films, and one film that should be making a surprise appearance is Fantastic Four. Though they are not on the schedule, rumor has it that the stars of the film, Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jaime Bell, and Michael B. Jordan, are all expected to make a surprise appearance, much like how the cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past dropped by unexpectedly.

Though the rumored appearance would probably entail a friendly wave to Hall H, Mara is dropping a few hints about Simon Kinberg‘s script. According to her, the film is a reinvention of the four superheroes that will not use any previous comic book storylines. Hit the jump to read all the details.

Actor Tim Blake Nelson has entered into talks to join the cast of Fantastic Four, Fox’s reboot of the Marvel superhero franchise.

If a deal is reached, Nelson would play Harvey Elder, an outcast and scientist who eventually goes on to become the villainous Mole Man. Apparently Mole Man will not actually be appearing in the first installment of the new Fantastic Four reboot—Toby Kebbell has already been cast to play the familiar foe Doctor Doom—but the Harvey Elder character would set up the opportunity to use him as the villain in one of the planned sequels. Though introduced long before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles existed, hopefully they’ll avoid the Leonardo with Donatello’s bo staff look seen above.
