I admit to be extremely skeptical about this film. I love all the actors involved, but I've heard nothing but bad things coming from the rumor mill, and while I know that I should ignore the internet when it comes to these things, I got wrapped up in the early negativity. After the first Fantastic Four trailer, I was admittedly impressed with the perceived storyline. Our family of heroes going to an alternate dimension instead of going into space to accidentally acquire their powers. It's not the traditional storyline, but its also not something foreign to this team. After seeing this new trailer, however, I'm all in and excited to see this reboot to the franchise.
After months upon months of speculating and arguing and just straight up angry tweets about the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot, we finally have our first taste. The first official teaser (teasers for teasers, teasers, teasers for trailers...its getting to be a bit much) for the upcoming Josh Trank flick.
A few years ago DC decided to reboot all of their titles. It was a bold move and it did increase sales. It also increased my interest in a lot of books. Along the way they made some big changes, and continue to make changes to this day. They're taking the past and making it new again. Some of us seem to take offense to this. It's a lot like when a movie studio remakes a classic film. The internet is all a flutter with rage and hate when a reboot or remake hits the theaters and besmirches your favorite film's good name. But does it really hurt the classic film?
