"I'm actually kind of excited, [Josh] Trank has this perspective of doing a realistic version of the Fantastic Four ...[it depends] on how they deal with Annihilus and other aspects of the script." -Jon Schnepp
"What I wasn’t expecting actually was just how funny and likable [Trank] could make this as well as getting the more awesome moments on screen – I use awesome in the traditional British sense and not the California sense 'awesome' you know? The Ridley Scott moments, and the Fantastic Four really are jaw-dropping in the same way you feel when you saw Alien for the first time. There’s some moments in this – not to be specific – that are actually gonna be phenomenal on screen and stuff you haven’t seen in a superhero movie before." -Mark Millar
"I feel like we're going to see a lot more movies that mix documentary style with fiction, more along the lines of 'District 9.'" -Josh Trank
"Filmmakers have to really find a unique take on something if they're going to explore an already-explored genre of movies." -Josh Trank
"Chronicle, if you think about it, was similar to Fantastic Four in that it was a bunch of people who were transformed into something more than human – that turned out almost be his calling card to come and do something like Fantastic Four." -Mark Millar
"I don’t think you could do Fantastic Four and try and make it grim and gritty," -Mark Millar
You can tell from Chronicle that it was a new way of looking at superheroes, and I think he’s going to apply that same slightly skewed way of looking at heroes to the Fantastic Four, but do it in a way that feels incredibly reverential to the [Jack] Kirby and [Stan] Lee stuff," -Mark Millar
"Star Wars is one of those unique movies that a two-year-old can watch, understand, enjoy and appreciate because there's a very clear-cut good vs. evil, you know who the good guy is, you know who the bad guy is, there's a real innocence to it." -Josh Trank
"Most superheroes are painted with a specific moral objective that makes them who they are. And that moral objective influences everything they do, so there's an expectation for what you're going to see out of a certain character." -Josh Trank
"Above all, Fantastic Four is ... the story of optimism. It packs in more ideas than any other comic: Every issue takes us somewhere new and amazing: outer space, under ground, foreign lands, deep in the ocean, other species hiding among us, the microscopic world, time travel, the antimatter universe, and beyond! They are forever expanding horizons, discovering new worlds, challenging old ideas, and expanding the mind. The message is inspiring and uplifting: family values plus science can accomplish anything! It's the story of America at its most optimistic. ." -Chris Tolworthy, ">http://zak-site.com/Great-American-Novel/index.html
