‘Fantastic Four’ Trailer Reveals Dr. Doom, Super Powers!
I’m getting confused by various websites’ reports on the new Fantastic Four, as if they’re surprised by all of the reveals. Anyone who has read Marvel’s “Ultimate Fantastic Four” series knows exactly what’s in store, and should be excited.
This Sunday afternoon Fox released the second full trailer for Fantastic Four, which boasts its phenomenal cast – Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, Toby Kebbell – and all of their super powers. We finally see the Invisible Woman, Thing, Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch. Not only that, but we get a taste of Dr. Doom who is a demented programmer hellbent on revenge.
If you’ve read the comics the movie is based off of, you may agree that the finale was a bit weak, which is my only concern. With that said, director Josh Trank has completed weeks and weeks of vigorous additional photography that could have been part of the solution. All I know is that this trailer looks absolutely spectacular – about a million times better than the disappointment that was Batman V Superman.
In theaters August 7, 2015, “Fantastic Four 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 new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.“

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
