From roles in <em>Whiplash<\/em> and the <em>Divergent<\/em>\u00a0franchise, Teller will take it to the next level when he stars as <strong>Reed Richards<\/strong> in <em>The Fantastic Four<\/em>. It seems as though super stardom beckons, but Teller says the differences between big budget blockbusters and small indie movies like <em>Whiplash<\/em>, aren\u2019t all that huge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe difference between the small movies and the big movies is just comfortability,\u201d he says. \u00a0\u201cWhen you do a smaller movie, you relinquish any vanity because all the money has to go into making the film. You sit around a bit more in the big films, but the preparation is the same. I just played Reed Richards, and Reed Richards is just as much of a character to me as anything else I&#8217;ve done, in terms of how much research I had to do<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With <em>The Fantastic Four<\/em> set to hit screens in August of this year, a sequel is already planned. The role of Reed Richards is quite a complex one to tackle, since he appears across all the comics and also, Marvel and Twentieth Century Fox are keen to turn this reboot into a modern day take on the franchise; leaving the characters with their original traits but moving them to a more contemporary setting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tried to ingest as much of the history of the character, while knowing that we weren\u2019t necessarily cementing ourselves to one particular comics storyline,\u201d Teller explains.\u00a0 \u201cIf my character&#8217;s talking quantum physics or biomechanical engineering, I need to know what those are. Our technical adviser was the smartest dude on set, so I would just be talking to him all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With two more <em>Divergent<\/em> films, and the <em>Fantastic Four<\/em> sequel lined up to be made, Teller is busy for a while at least, though he insists none of it was planned that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never pick anything based on,\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">\u2018<\/span>oh, this is what\u2019s out there\u2019<em>.<\/em><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">\u00a0<\/span>I don\u2019t work for the sake of working.\u00a0Everything that\u2019s come my way has been thought out in terms of what it\u2019s doing. When you\u2019re going to shoot these movies, that is your life. If I\u2019m in Canada for six months and it\u2019s freezing cold, if I next have the choice between a movie that shoots in Hawaii and one that shoots in the Arctic, I\u2019ll probably choose the one that\u2019s warmer. As much as you want to be satisfied artistically and creatively, the market has changed so much, and studios don\u2019t make dramas, and so y<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">ou want to think of all the different factors when you\u2019re picking out a movie<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">. You just try to be a part of the good ones.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of \u201cthe good ones\u201d for Teller will hopefully be the upcoming boxing movie, <em>Bleed For This,<\/em> in which he plays Vinny Pazzienza, a five times world champion boxer. A role like that can seem daunting, but Teller takes it all in his stride:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to play a character. If I\u2019m going to do something dramatic, I want it to be inspired. I want it to be passionate.\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">It gives you a lot to work off of, and I like the challenges of doing an accent or learning a skill, really putting yourself out there.\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">I was so nervous when they offered me this boxing movie, but once you know you\u2019re going to be onscreen as a world-champion boxer, it\u2019s just like,<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">\u2018<\/span>Okay let\u2019s go\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">I think in movies, I\u2019m very nervous that I\u2019m not going to be able to do it, but I just trust that the fear of failure will drive me.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Via <em>Vulture\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to play a character.
