The reboot of Fantastic Four is still looking like it won’t be as good as we’d like.  Aside from the official line of “don’t read the comics, our movie won’t be anything like it” for the actors, we’ve seen next to nothing from production.

Because really, that single leaked green screen photo of Doom wasn’t anything to get hyped about.

Recently, director Josh Trank and producer and screenwriter Simon Kinberg granted a pretty exclusive interview to those guys over at Collider.  It’s a pretty fun interview read, actually.  They shared some behind the scenes info, as well as what they called “official look at the uniform” we will be seeing come August.

No really, this^ photo is what outlets are calling “the official uniform”.  I seriously hope what they mean is “This is the suit Michael B Jordan wore on set, it’s a placeholder for the CGI we’ll be seeing in the finished film”.

Here are the interview highlights from Steve ‘Frosty’ Weintraub:

• Trank says they “consciously decided to not release anything official” until now.
• In terms of plot and story, Trank was guarded but did say, “This is a modern telling of how these four iconic characters came together and came to be.”
• Trank revealed that renowned composer Philip Glass is scoring the movie with Marco Beltrami.
• The film recently did a few days of additional photography and it was to film some bits and pieces.  Nothing major.  They weren’t filming some huge new ending.
• The original shoot was seventy-two days and they were on-schedule and on-budget.
• The film is heavily influenced by David Cronenberg and Trank mentioned that Scanners and The Fly were big influences on the look of the film.
• The film is an origin story and there are influences of what Kirby and Stan were doing in the 60’s all the way up into the present day.
• The Ultimates was also an influence and a lot of the science specifics are there.  They told me a lot of the means of transformation they took from the books.
• Trank’s first cut of the film was around 2 hours and 10 minutes.  He said the final film will probably be between 2 hours and 2 hours and 20 minutes.
• Kinberg says there is an Easter egg in the teaser trailer.
• They are very influenced by what Marvel has been doing regarding combined universes.  Saying that, they admit it’s tricky to combine X-Men and FF because the X-Men films so far don’t acknowledge the Fantastic Four and the Fantastic Four takes place essentially in the same time period as the modern day X-Men movies.
• Kinberg does confirm that there is a different approach to the Marvel movies at Fox than when they started making Marvel films at the studio. “There is an intent and want to be a part of a larger fabric and tapestry the way Marvel has done so brilliantly.”
• Trank is on Twitter but isn’t tweeting right now.  If you want to follow him he’s at @JoshuaTrank.

Look for Fantastic Four to hit theaters August 7th, 2015.
