In July 2012, Slater was hired to write the script for the 2015 Fantastic Four film.[2] After the film was released in August 2015, Slater commented that a lot of what he wrote was not in the finished film (particularly his version of the first act), but that he'll "always be honoured that [he] got to play in such a cool sandbox." Slater's original version of the script for Fantastic Four was said to feel more in tone with a Marvel Studios movie, being an action-packed superhero adventure in contrast to the final film's dark and realistic tone. It included the villains Galactus, who is the source for the titular characters' powers; Mole Man; and Doctor Doom as a Latverian dictator and herald to Galactus, in contrast to the antisocial programmer he was portrayed as in the finished film. Slater wrote a draft of the live-action American film adaptation of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's manga series Death Note (2017), which was directed by Adam Wingard. The finished version of the film had its script revised by Kyle Killen. Slater is the creator and executive producer of The Exorcist, a TV drama based on the film with the same name.
