Max Landis Posts Four Pages From His FANTASTIC FOUR Script
In the midst of all the negativity surrounding his Chronicle pal Josh Trank's Fantastic Four flick, screenwriter Max Landis has revealed the first four pages of a script he wrote for a take on Marvel's First Family a few years back. You can have a read of 'em after the jump..
Here are the first four pages of a Fantastic Four script Max Landis wrote four years ago (see what he did there?). You may remember the rumors that he would be writing the current reboot back when Trank was announced as director, but apparently this has nothing to do with that. Landis says this was something he penned as a movie pitch, and was never actually a commissioned screenplay - in fact he calls it "essentially fan-fic".
The opening of this movie wouldn't have actually featured an appearance from the team at all, only their voices over the radio as they escape from the FBI. It certainly makes for an interesting read, and may well have wound up being more conpelling than the run-of-the mill introduction to the characters we got in Trank's flick - but obviously it's difficult to tell without having more of the script to read through for context. Have a look, and let us know what you think.
