Josh Trank’s feature debut Chronicle isn’t scheduled to hit theaters for a few more weeks, but in a major sign of confidence in the young director’s talents, 20th Century Fox is reportedly looking at Trank to direct the studio’s upcoming reboot of Marvel’s Fantastic Four franchise.
Showblitz | Variety reports that 20th Century Fox will wait to see how the supervillain film Chronicle opens over Super Bowl weekend before they extend an official offer to direct, but after having already taken several meetings regarding the project it’s expected that Trank will land the gig.
Chronicle hits theaters on February 3, 2012.
