The trailer for the Fantastic Four has only been out for a couple of hours, yet it has already managed to turn the tide on a lot of negative backlash. Many assumptions were made on the quality of the film based solely on elements of the story that were changed, yet there was no context or images to base it on.

Director Josh Trank (Chronicle) and writer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past) have been completely silent until yesterday. In the video they explain their motivations and how they went about making a dramatic and modern adaptation of the series. Kinberg explains how space travel was the final frontier of scientific study in the 1960’s. Movies such as Interstellar has shown that those priorities have changed. Our scientific growth has been inward in recent years, with technology getting smaller and faster and the new Fantastic Four movie reflects modern scientific curiosities and familial bonds. Take a look at the trailer with some of the creator’s of the film.
