"Chronicle" Director Set For "Fantastic Four: Reborn" Film?

There are rumors that "Chronicle" director, Josh Trank is the front-runner for the "Fantastic Four: Reborn" directing job. It's been said that Fox are waiting to see how his new superpowers film, "Chronicle" does before making him the "FF" reboots official director.
I just watched the trailer for his new film the other day and I have to say that it looks amazing. It's like a cam-corder film, with found footage of these groups of teens who get superpowers and I think one turns evil, but I'm not sure until I see the it when it comes out in early February.
