Fantasticar for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
It looks like 20th Century Fox is working hard to correct all the mistakes they made in the original Fantastic Four installment by going bigger and better. First we have a cool villain in the Silver Surfer and now a highly efficient vehicle that cruises at 30,000 feet!
USA Today is now offering your first look at the Fantasticar that will become the Fantastic Four's major source of transportation.
The Fantasticar
The vehicle, a staple of the Fantastic Four comic books, ranks right up there with the Batmobile and Ghost Rider's flaming motorcycle as the wheels of choice among comic devotees.
But translating the flying car from the page to the big screen was no small effort, says Tim Flattery, conceptual artist for the Fantastic Four sequel, which hits screens June 15. He showed several designs to director Tim Story, including one based loosely on the Batmobile, which he designed for 1995's Batman Forever.
But Story rejected the designs as "too aggressive," Flattery says. "He wanted something that looked less like a predator and more friendly. That's always been the Fantastic Four theme."
Check out the full report and a fullsize version of the Fantasticar at USA Today.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer opens to theatres on June 15th, 2007.
