Yesterday's new details on THE FANTASTIC FOUR might be fake, but I have a feeling director Matthew Vaughn is telling the truth when he says he has already seen the upcoming film. So what are Vaughn's thoughts on the reboot? Similar to the report from yesterday, Vaughn said it's a good movie, and you'll enjoy it if you liked Josh Trank's CHRONICLE in an interview with Flickering Myth.

I’ve seen the movie, it’s good. I thought Chronicle was a fantastic movie and [Josh] Trank has gone off and done his version of Fantastic Four. If you like Chronicle, then you’ll like this. We’re all backing Josh Trank’s vision. And hopefully the world will like Josh Trank’s vision.

Perhaps Matthew Vaughn is just being nice since (as some of have pointed out) Fox produced both THE FANTASTIC FOUR and Vaughn's KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE, but I honestly hope it will be a great movie. The rumor is there could be a Super Bowl spot for THE FANTASTIC FOUR, and I can not wait to (finally) get a first look at Josh Trank's new film.

Matthew Vaughn's KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE opens on February 13, 2015 (you can check out Eric Walkuski's review for it here) and THE FANTASTIC FOUR will be in theaters on August 7, 2015.
