When Vulture caught up with Miles Teller at a Whiplash screening last night, the actor promised that Fox's Fantastic Four reboot, in which he plays Mr. Fantastic, will be “different in every way” compared to the original series. He continued, “All those actors were a lot older, their characters were in different places. The tone of this film is completely different: We don’t have Michael Chiklis in a big Styrofoam thing, and I think that [a more grounded approach] is what people are into — X-Men: First Class is doing that. You’re dealing with these characters but you’re making them real people in how they exist day-to-day. People wanted it to be taken more seriously than the kind of Dick Tracy, kitschy, overly comic-book world.” When asked if he's worried about superhero movie saturation when Marvel's First Family returns in 2015, Teller said, “At the end of the day, it depends on the product.” He added, “Guardians of the Galaxy was a really fresh take on it, I think people responded to that. In terms of where we are in the schedule, we’re playing the same weekend they were playing. But it’s a big summer: You’ve got Avengers [Age of Ultron], and my buddy [J.K. Simmons] is in Terminator, and you got Jurassic World. There’s a ton of movies out there, so if people have an appetite for it, they’ll see a couple, and if not, maybe they’ll just see one.” The Vulture interviewer then makes note that Miles Teller hopes the "one" people will see is The Fantastic Four. Duh. What do you think?

Directed by Josh Trank, The Fantastic Four stars Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, and Jamie Bell with Reg E. Cathey, and the film is scheduled for release on August 7, 2015.

With everything coming out next year. This wll most likely be the least favorite. Unless Ant-man is a flop. With Marvel's track record its doubtful.

Differences: "Well, our Thing isn't wearing a suit and our Johnny Storm is Black."

Similarities: This movie will suck as much if not more than the last one. And they better hope their Thing CGI is better than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle CGI was.

DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE!

OK... let in sink in, folks. In the pic below the header is 'Mr. Fantastic' and the 'Human Torch'.

Sometimes words are not needed... but thankfully the cast keeps on yammering! All that's missing from this crew is Garf stating that Spider-man should be a gay bunny who worships at the feet of Play-do and you have the PERFECT cast who can PR better than any marketing agency ever could.

What a glorious end to the FOX FF franchise it will be.

At least they're taking a grounded approach to this. Whew! I was scared that they weren't. I mean it's been said like a billion times, but you never can tell. But I'd feel a whole lot better if he'd also said this was going to be a very character driven story.

@mexicanchinman let's be honest here there's no chance that this movie isn't going to suck. This isn't any faux outrage at casting, its director or the studio making it, although I'm undecided on kinberg as the writer.
Simply its the fantastic four the comics suck and so will the film, for crying out loud the lead characters power is the he can stretch and calls himself Mr fantastic, on what planet is that not lame?
