14 DAY TRIAL // Count one more strike of the public online forums against the system! After the huge scandal that was Celebgate, it's very possible that a brand new one directed against Hollywood is just around the corner since what seems to be the entire plot of the upcoming “Fantastic Four” remake movie has landed online.
The rebooted version of the movie has been going back and forth, with a cast and director finally added earlier this year. The movie will star Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Jamie Bell. Up until today, we only heard rumors about the script and how it was going to flip things around, but we had no idea just how many changes they were planning to operate, Aceshowbiz explains.
Spoilers ahead, proceed at your own risk!
As the new movie begins, we find Reed working in a convenience store, alongside his old pal Ben. Reed's parents seem to be oblivious to his existence, while Ben's parents are abusive. This drives the two friends closer and makes them more protective against the rest of the world.
Reed finally gets noticed when he publishes a paper on teleportation for his community college. This paper ends up attracting the attention of Dr. Franklin Storm, the CEO of the Baxter Building Research Center. Here's where things get tricky.
Dr. Storm has a son, by the name of Johnny, and an adoptive daughter, Sue, who was the child of one of his former partners, who died in an experiment gone wrong. Sue comes across as a party girl, totally ignorant of science, so when Storm takes Reed under his wing for the first time, the two of them don't get along.
Enter the villain, Victor Doomashev, your typical anti-social Eastern European computer programmer who also happens to be a great hacker. He goes online by the name of “Doom.” He has a deep hatred for the West and the rich 1%, and Storm in particular.
The conflict begins – Storm vs. Doom
It doesn't take long until Storm uses Reed's paper to complete some equations on a machine that allows him to access another dimension he calls the N-Zone. The machine is turned on while Ben, Johnny, Sue and Reed are all invited to watch.
Unbeknown to Dr. Storm, Doom hacks his computers and plants a virus into his machine, which explodes when turned on. All four people in attendance are exposed to otherworldly energies that give them super powers they can't control.
A new team is born, the new Fantastic Four
Storm takes the victims to his research facility at the Baxter building, where he gives them containment suits for their new superpowers. They begin training to be able to control said powers. Reed and Sue become friends and eventually a couple.
The new superpowers are different from those of the original Fantastic Four. Ben, for example, can switch off his stony-appearance when he's not in danger. Johnny can change colors based on heat intensity, and Sue gets bigger telekinetic powers.
Doom finds out about their powers and decides that he wants some for himself. He attacks the Baxter building with Doombots, reprogrammed military drones which the Fantastic Four have to defeat together.
The evil Doom manages to sneak in and makes the machine turn on again, gaining technopathy powers, basically being able to control every machine he comes into contact with.
The finale is explosive and unexpected
The machine overloads and is in danger of taking out the entire city. The Fantastic Four go into the N-Zone with Dr. Storm, who manages to turn it off from the other side. The heroes are forced to battle with Doom again, who is defeated and stranded in the N-Zone.
The outcome is bittersweet: the four manage to escape, but Ben permanently transforms into The Thing in order to save Reed. He vows to continue research until he finds a cure for his friend. And that's where the movie cuts off.
The film is directed by Josh Trank and based on a script by Simon Kinberg. The movie is currently shooting and is supposed to be released in the States in August, 2015. It remains to be seen how Marvel plans to deal with this leak, after the recent incident that affected “The Avengers: The Age of Ultron.”
