We’re eight months away from director Josh Trank’s reboot of the Fantastic Four franchise hitting theaters and so far there hasn’t been much news about the film that has instilled much confidence that the end product will much of an improvement over last decades two rather atrocious Fantastic Four films. If anything, it has been looking as if this upcoming adaption of the classic comic book series might turn out even worse, if possible.

So does the newly released, first official plot synopsis for the film sound like it could turn opinions around on the film?

THE FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel’s original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

Nope, I guess not.
