00:00Hey, I'm Josh Trank.
00:01And I'm Simon Kinberg.
00:02And this is our breakdown of the Fantastic Four trailer.
00:04So stick around, because we're giving you an exclusive Inside Look.
00:09How did we get this far?
00:13Human beings have an immeasurable desire to discover.
00:21To invent.
00:25To build.
00:27I'm a really big fan of Brian Hitch and his artwork and everything he's done.
00:33And the big thing that really inspired me from his work in The Ultimates was seeing Reed in a garage.
00:41I absolutely want to tell the story of a young Reed Richards.
00:46Yeah, and I think because we wanted to tell a generational story,
00:49I mean, you did it in Chronicle and we do it in this movie of it being about the next
00:53generation.
00:55It's one of the reasons that we looked at The Ultimates as, you know, part of the inspiration for the
00:59movie,
00:59because those are the younger Fantastic Four.
01:01You remember I told you I talked to Stan Lee about this,
01:05and I kind of gave him a very, like, not so much a pitch,
01:08but I just told him why I wanted to do the Fantastic Four.
01:14And he just genuinely loved the idea that somebody would be taking the Fantastic Four seriously like that
01:22and putting them into a modern space,
01:25which was really cool to just kind of hear Stan Lee, you know, co-sign on that.
01:29Our future depends on us furthering these ideas.
01:36A responsibility that rests on the shoulders of generations to come.
01:44Miles Teller as Reed Richards, Kate Mara as Sue Storm,
01:49Michael B. Jordan as Johnny Storm, and Jamie Bell as Ben Grimm.
01:53I mean, I don't think we could possibly find four better actors to portray these characters
02:01in this version of the story.
02:04Yeah, and I think because we wanted it to be grounded and dramatic,
02:08we went for the four best dramatic actors.
02:15But with every new discovery...
02:21When Jack and Stan created the Fantastic Four in the 60s,
02:25we were on the brink of science really physically changing the world.
02:31Yeah, no, I think the same way that it was the next generation that sent men to the moon,
02:36it's now the next generation that's, like, creating the Internet and the new frontier.
02:41And I remember from the beginning with this movie,
02:43you wanted to explore what that new frontier would look like
02:47and do a superhero movie that was as grounded in science and reality.
02:51I really wanted to see science in science fiction,
02:55which I think we kind of rarely see.
02:58There is risk.
03:02There is sacrifice.
03:04Yeah, that will be probably the frame that is frozen
03:07and screen captured and emailed the most of anything in the teaser, I would say.
03:12It only made sense to use mo-cap technology to bring Ben Grimm to life
03:16and being able to register all of the details of expression and emotion
03:21through the motion capture performance
03:23because Jamie Bell is such a terrific actor.
03:27One thing that does stay the same are the eyes.
03:33It's Jamie's eyes when he's not in mo-cap
03:36and it's Jamie's eyes when he isn't mo-cap.
03:39And there are consequences.
03:47It was your idea to create these suits that had a real science function to them
03:52and that they would, we termed them or you termed them containment suits
03:56and they would help them control, contain these powers that were really new to them.
04:09In Stanley and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four,
04:12you have four characters that get into a rocket and go into space.
04:17They encounter cosmic rays and that transforms them into who we know now as Fantastic Four.
04:23And it's one of the things that we took really seriously
04:25and there's real science exploring it right now is this notion of interdimensional travel.
04:29Yep.
04:30Be ready for what's coming.
04:32What is coming?
04:33He answers.
04:35This was the first most important superhero group in the history of modern comics.
04:41And obviously there's a lot of responsibility there.
04:44The most important thing about the Fantastic Four is that this is a movie about a family.
04:49I remember the first time I wrote a Fantastic Four comic, what was so remarkable about it
04:56was that it was about a group of superheroes who were this little surrogate family
05:00and that all the dynamics that are like good and bad that are part of being in a family
05:05were playing out in a comic book.
05:07And I'd never really seen that before.
05:08There's obviously people with families in comics, plenty of them.
05:11Or where it's like secondary.
05:12Right, right, exactly.
05:14This is the core of the Fantastic Four is seeing how far a family can stretch, no pun intended.
05:19To put them into the most extreme of circumstances and see how far they can be stretched
05:25and yet come back together and be stronger than ever.
05:29That's just really what the Fantastic Four is all about.
05:38There is sacrifice.
05:42And there are consequences.
