Fantastic Four Reboot Finds A Writer

By Cody "The Thorverine" Ferrell on Jul 13, 2012 with Comments 2

Only days after it was announced that Chronicle’s Josh Trank would direct the Fantastic Four reboot, we find out that 20th Century Fox has found a writer.

Fox has tapped Jeremy Slater to write the reboot. The Hollywood Reporters states that the up-and-coming writer, along with Trank, are indications that Fox is trying to capture the hardcore comic book fans. Both Trank and Slater are of that particular genre. Slater has a horror movie Tape 4 floating around Hollywood, which is centered in the H.P. Lovecraft mythology. It is being worked on by Lionsgate. Slater also wrote My Spy, which is a teen spy comedy.

It’s too early for any sort of casting yet, but there had been a rumor floating around since the reboot was first announced that The Thing would be purely CGI. With all of this recent news, it seems Fox is pushing it to get a Fantastic Four movie off the ground. It is the next big film lined up after The Wolverine.

Oh please don’t rush on this! The last thing we need is more of the same.

  I have faith in Trank. However, it’s Fox, so I’m sure they will find a way to muck it up. Dummies.
