Principle Photography Has Wrapped
Throughout the past year, details on the film have been kept very secret. The movie was shot in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and it is rumored that the film will be based on the Ultimate Fantastic Four comics which shows the characters as younger men and women. There are also rumors that the film will be crossover with the X-Men movies.
Simon Kinberg, who wrote the past two "X-men" movie, said in a recent interview that he would want to see the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters unite.
He told Latino Review, "I would love to see the X-Men and Fantastic Four team up if only because I'm a fan and certainly it's something we've thought about and talked about. The challenge is that they essentially live in different universes. In the X-Men world of the movies, we never hear them talk about a famous super team called the Fantastic Four and in the Fantastic Four movie, they are fantastic because they are the only ones of their kind, meaning there aren't other people with super powers on the streets."
"Fantastic Four" is slated to be released on June 19, 2015, when Buena Vista's animated flick "Inside Out" will be released.
