Mark Millar is very excited about all the properties he\u2019s consulting on for Fox. One of the most anticipated projects is Josh Trank\u2019s Fantastic Four, which is due in theaters March 6, 2015. In a new interview, Millar talks up the new movie in the same way he\u2019s been promoting projects like The Wolverine. If he\u2019s to be believed, Fantastic Four is going to be reminiscent of Alien in some ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what I\u2019ve seen and from talking to him \u2014 he and I have had dinner a couple of times and we talk quite regularly as well \u2014 he\u2019s contemporarising it. I think he\u2019s just making it work for the screen \u2014 he\u2019s a great storyteller,\u201d Millar told SciFi Now. \u201cChronicle, if you think about it, was similar to Fantastic Four in that it was a bunch of people who were transformed into something more than human \u2013 that turned out almost his calling card to come and do something like Fantastic Four.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cWhat I wasn\u2019t expecting actually was just how funny and likeable he could make this as well as getting the more awesome moments on screen \u2014 I use awesome in the traditional British sense and not the California sense awesome, you know? The Ridley Scott moments, and the Fantastic Four really are jaw-dropping in the same way you feel when you saw Alien for the first time. There\u2019s some moments in this \u2014 not to be specific \u2014 that are actually gonna be phenomenal on screen and stuff you haven\u2019t seen in a superhero movie before.\u201d<\/p>\n
