This title speaks for itself – Fox are at San Diego Comic-Con and have confirmed that Josh Trank will helm their reboot of the FANTASTIC FOUR. The news follows rumours that the CHRONICLE director was in talks for a SPIDER-MAN spin-off feature VENOM, though that will obviously be handled by someone else. Trank’s F4 will follow Tim Story’s poor FANTASTIC FOUR and FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER, and expectations will be high for new version, particularly after CHRONICLE proved both a critical and commercial hit.
In other news, David Slade is now unable to commit to other Fox reboot, DAREDEVIL. The version that would have (maybe) included Josh Hartnett as Matt Murdock will also be left to another director. The HARD CANDY director will have his hands full in bringing the pilot of NBC’s much-anticipated serial killer series HANNIBAL.
So kids, any thoughts on who should take over? Let us know!
