Superhero Hype has an interview with Jeff Gardiner, lead designer for the Fantastic Four video game based on the movie. Here is an excerpt from the interview.

SHH!: The game is coming out along with the movie, how closely did you work with the movie producers?
Gardiner: We have had a close collaboration with Fox, including early access to the movie script, conceptual art, set design, costumes and locations. Our lead artists and designers have visited the film set multiple times, bringing back excellent photo references of the environments and props. We have seen animatics and effects work from an early stage that have helped us match the look and flow of the major action moments as closely as possible. We've communicated back and forth with Fox all through the development process. As they have finalized effects work, they've sent us renders. As we have finalized environments, we've sent them screenshots. It has been a true back-and-forth collaboration to ensure a seamless mesh of the movie and game aesthetics.

The video game adaption of Fantastic Four hits stores Tuesday, June 28th.
