"Chronicle" director Josh Trank is set to helm. Jeremy Slater was hired to pen a new script draft about four individuals who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space.
Michael Green ("Green Lantern") wrote the previous draft
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.
Comic creator and Fox's Creative Consultant on their Marvel superhero films Mark Millar tweeted Friday: "Just off the phone with Fox and some excellent news -- Matthew Vaughn is producing Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot"
