Fantastic trailer?
From Dark Horizons, "The "Fantastic Four 2" teaser premieres in cinemas early Friday and online later that night, but for now 'Jeff' over at Undertaker's Lounge has provided a well penned description of it below:
"Much like the trailer for last summer's "The Devil Wears Prada", the cool approach that Fox has taken with this is to show a single scene - or at least an extended portion of a scene, as opposed to the usual barrage of quick cuts associated with action trailers.
We start at the wedding of Sue and Reed, with actor (and comic book fan) Brian Posehn as the preacher. Suddenly a silver streak splits through the sky. Reed directs Johnny to flame on and follow the object. The rest of the teaser is a high speed chase between Johnny and the Surfer.
We see the Surfer trying to shake Johnny off by using a power not seen in the comics - not to my knowledge, at least - wherein he's able to phase through solid objects (like the X-Men's Kitty Pryde or Marvel's android character The Vision). We see the Surfer phase through buildings and vehicles in an effort to outrace Johnny's pursuit. When that finally fails, the Surfer simply turns and grabs Johnny by the neck - stopping him cold.
The Surfer then wordlessly flies them both to the outer reaches of the atmosphere where the lack of oxygen snuffs out Johnny's flame. The Surfer then releases Johnny, letting him plummet to the Earth as the title card slams onto the screen - and the wait for next summer just got that much longer/ In less than a minute and a half, this teaser delivered more comic book action than the entire first film"."

Well darn if that doesn't actually sound kind of cool. And the "one long scene" trailer is pretty much what I was yapping about in my Transformers comment.
My money's still on "suck."
I went to Night at the Musuem on opening night and this FF trailer was NOT attached to it, as I'd been anticipating.
La la la la Lame-Ass!
