Fantastic Four screenwriter Simon Kinberg admits that adapting Marvel's First Family for today's audience is no easy task.  However, he insists that he's proud of the finished product and wants to make future films with the cast of Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Miles Teller and Jamie Bell.  

"I am proud of it. It’s not a disaster. It’s a good movie. I find Fantastic Four a hard book to adapt. I think the tone is very tricky. It’s deceptively simple. Figuring out the comedy and the drama and the powers themselves are hard to fit into a tone that is as grounded as we wanted to make it. But I’m happy with the way that it turned out. I really love this cast, and I want to keep making movies with them."

Do you plan on seeing the film this Friday or has the marketing from Fox failed to convince you the reboot is worth seeing?
