“Fantastic Four” Reboot Has an Official Release Date

The good folks at comingsoon.net have informed us that the Josh Trank  resurrection will arrive in theaters on March 6, 2015. Trank is best known for directing the shockingly cool “Chronicle,” but the film’s screenplay has been written by newcomer Jeremy Slater and the man responsible for the Green Lantern screenplay, Michael Green. Tentative thumbs up? And should we go ahead and start our dream casts? I’m not particularly interested in another origins story and would prefer to see a more mature Fantastic Four made up of a cast that does not consist of empty “blockbuster” names. Some names like Benedict Cumberbatch, John C. Reilly, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Lawrence and Clive Owen are floating around the Bot-Shop. What do you think? Who’s best for these iconic roles, and how are your hopes for a successful reboot?
