‘Dark Shadows’ Writer Polishing ‘Fantastic Four’ Reboot Script

Fox’s Fantastic Four reboot is getting retouched by Dark Shadows‘ scribe Seth Grahame-Smith. The film is being directed by Chronicle‘s Josh Trank.

Recently it was also announced that Matthew Vaughn would be producing the reboot. The studio hopes to release the film by March 2015.

The original script was written by Jeremy Slater. According to THR, this new version is “taking a grounded superhero and sci-fi approach to the heroes and will tap deep into the comics mythology, which featured not just the better-known villains such as Doctor Doom and Galactus but also alien races the Kree and the Skrull, and the anti-matter universe known as the Negative Zone.”

Grahame-Smith started out as a novelist. He penned the best-selling novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and later transition into screenplays.

    This is unsettling.

    The writer of Tim Burton’s horrible DARK SHADOWS movie is writing the script for THE FANTASTIC FOUR?! That’s not good news. I liked ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER but it was camp and while I never read PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES, it sounds like more camp. This does not bode well.

    You need to go more for an Alexander Payne caliber of writer here, folks, if you want to veer away from the Tim Story movies.

    Just give it back to Marvel already. And X-Men & Spider- Man while you’re at it.
