Empire has posted four new pictures from Josh Trank‘s upcoming The Fantastic Four reboot offering new looks at the film’s four leads, which means new pictures of Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell as the titular four.
Discussing the upcoming movie, set for an August 7 release, we learn the key difference between this film and the previous releases as well as Stan Lee/Jack Kirby’s iteration, this version will draw from the “Ultimate Fantastic Four“, which abandoned the idea of the heroes gaining their powers from cosmic rays during space flight in favor of inter-dimensional travel.
Trank referred to the picture as a “dark Amblin movie”, referring to the early days of Steven Spielberg‘s films, with writer/producer Simon Kinberg adding, “There was an Amblin-style approach to the characterization, and to contextualizing everything in a real world”.
“There’s the opportunity to make something that is challenging and tragic and dramatic,” Trank tells Empire. “The opportunity is right there in the material. We’d rather steer it in that direction as opposed to just embracing a tone that comes right off the page.”
