Grahame-Smith Doing A Script Pass On FF Reboot

Seth Grahame-Smith will polish the script for the "Fantastic Four" reboot says THR.



The comic book series is about four individuals-- Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Sue Storm (The Invisible Girl), her brother Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing).who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space.

Jeremy Slater was hired to pen the most recent script draft. Michael Green ("Green Lantern") also  wrote a draft as well.

"Chronicle" director Josh Trank is set to helm.

"X-Men: First Class" and "Kick-Ass" director Matthew Vaughn recently signed on to produce the reset

The first Fantastic Four in 2005 and its sequel 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer in 2007--both helmed by Tim Story--grossed $620 million despite awful reviews (I liked em both!).  Fox wants to restore some credibility and quality to the property, that is currently targeting a Spring 2015 release.

Grahame-Smith wrote the script for Tim Burton's take on Dark Shadows which bombed at the box office
