Matthew Vaughn Has Seen Fox's FANTASTIC FOUR Reboot & Thinks "It's Good"

Matthew Vaughn ("X-Men: First Class") is currently doing press for his latest comic book movie Kingsman: The Secret Service. While chatting with Flickering Myth, Vaughn revealed that he has seen Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot. “I’ve seen the movie, it’s good,” Vaughn said. “I thought Chronicle was a fantastic movie and [Josh] Trank has gone off and done his version of Fantastic Four. If you like Chronicle, then you’ll like this. We’re all backing Josh Trank’s vision. And hopefully the world will like Josh Trank’s vision.” 

20th Century Fox produced both films, Kingsman: The Secret Service and Fantastic Four, so there is no way to tell if Vaughn's comments are genuine or if he is just trying to be a good team player. Hopefully, rumors of a Super Bowl television spot prove to be true so that we all get an opportunity to see what Trank has done with Marvel's first superhero team.

The Cast: Kate Mara ("House of Cards") as Invisible Woman/Sue Storm, Michael B. Jordan ("Chronicle") as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, Jamie Bell ("Billy Elliot") as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Miles Teller ("Divergent") as Reed Richards /Mr. Fantastic, Tim Blake Nelson ("O Brother, Where Art Thou?") as Harvey Elder/Mole Man and Toby Kebbell as Victor Domashev/Doom. It is being directed by Josh Trank ("Chronicle") based on a script written by Simon Kinberg ("X-Men: Days of Future Past").

I love Matthew Vaughn, but I'm not taking his word for it just yet.

Hes to classy to say otherwise, especially if he wants to work with fox ever again.

I trust Vaughn. There's no one working on this film that I distrust. It will be good.

The blogger angle makes sense if you've read Ultimate FF. Latveria is built from social media, like the Occupy Movement becoming its own nation.

Its not like he's going to say it sucked ass. Besides he's working for Fox so he has to be a good soldier and praise it.

Fantastic 4 "[is] good" but Chronicle "[is] fantastic"?

"And hopefully the world will like Josh Trank’s vision."

Those comments don't sound hopeful, good is literally the least positive he can be whilst staying diplomatic, and the fact he only "hopes" people will like Trank's vision instead of knowing is a bad sign.

This is only "good," yet he found Chronicle "fantastic." Interesting choice of words, Vaughn.

'It's good.'

That's the line I use when people ask me if I liked something they made, but I don't want to hurt their feelings by telling them it's not great.

@xmenlover

He doesn't "work for Fox", he's not a full-time employee, they can't "fire" him. But if he pissed them off, they may decide to not work with him in the future. But, these days, we get more honest answers out of directors and actors, becausethey know the audience is too smart to listen to bullshit.

For me...I'm really excited about this movie. Amazing cast, talented director, really good writing team. It all screams positivity.

Can't wait.

saying that though i am excited for this movie. just wish marvel had dr doom and galactus. the FF i really couldnt give a [frick] about. the only character marvel should get back is spiderman.

i think x men is fine at fox and they really seem to be beind it now with 3 movies next year. hope they do x men justice with this light reboot.

Or he cant say anything bv nothing has been released of the movie so theyre still in their secrecy phase and keeping many things close to their chest right now

I always wanted a low-res shaky cam superhero movie. I mean with the special effects being low quality it'll really add to the mystique of the movie. The best way to adapt the Fantastic Four was really to take everything FANTASTIC out of it and make it more realistic. This shot says it all. Damn I miss the days of VHS...
