'Fantastic 4' Reboot Gets Official Title, Release Date
Fri, December 7, 2012 
20th Century Fox's long-gestating reboot of the Fantastic 4 franchise is finally gaining traction with Josh Trank (Chronicle) still attached to direct from a script by Michael Green (with Jeremy Slater doing a rewrite). Today, the studio has finally unveiled the official title and its release date. Unsurprisingly, it'll be titled The Fantastic Four and get a March 6, 2015 release.
Considering that films as varied as The Lorax, 300, Alice in Wonderland, and more recently, The Hunger Games making serious, summer-sized bank with March releases... it's not surprising that Fox is taking the plunge with this pic (as opposed to the mid-summer dates it scheduled for the previous two F4 films). More importantly, it currently has no direct competition and has room to itself before Disney's two summer tentpoles, The Avengers 2 and Star Wars: Episode VII, dominate the landscape two months later.
No word on who will star, although expect pre-production and casting to begin later next year.
