According to The Hollywood Reporter, novelist and screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith has come aboard Fox's upcoming FANTASTIC FOUR reboot to do some last-minute work on the film's script.

The PRIDE AND PREJUDICE WITH ZOMBIES and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter author has signed on just days after it was announced that Matthew Vaughn had also agreed to produce the film.

For the full report, head on over to The Hollywood Reporter.

Fox recently signed Josh Trank (CHRONICLE) to direct. With Vaugh attached, it appears Fox is looking to keep things semi-consistent within its upcoming MARVEL superhero universes.

Sources have also confirmed to THR that the reboot is approaching the Fantastic Four in a more "grounded" way, that will explore the mythology and lore of the acclaimed comic series.

As of now, the film is set for a Spring 2015 release.

According to Marvel, "The Fantastic Four is an internationally-renowned group of superhuman champions (often dubbed the world's premiere super hero team or the first family of super heroes) based in New York City and dedicated to the betterment of the world through scientific discovery and defense against evil."

The Fantastic Four are a long-time hot Marvel commodity. Fox has developed two films based upon them, including 2005's FANTASTIC FOUR and 2007's FANTASTIC 4: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER. The films starred Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chicklis.
