Missed in all of the Fantastic Four chaos is comments that screenwriter Jeremy Slater (The Lazarus Effect), who co-wrote the film along with Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Apocalypse), tweeted on the eve of the film's opening.

For Slater, working on the Fantastic Four script was a dream come true for the relatively unknown scribe. During his childhood, he spent much of his allowance on comic books.

Luckily for Slater, mostly the first act, which happens to be the least criticized portion of Josh Trank's Fantastic Four reboot, contains his contributions.

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.
