20th Century Fox’s X Men: Days of Future Past received stellar reviews last year and this is from the same studio that made Fantastic Four.
It’s possible all the insane chatter will just make viewers curious to see “Fantastic Four” and perhaps fans will be pleasantly surprised if it doesn’t turn out to be the new “Ishtar”.
On Thursday, Trank tweeted out the following, which was then quickly deleted…
Behind the scenes rumors had it that Fox execs freaked out over a lack of action in Trank’s original cut, prompting headline-grabbing reshoots. In case you’ve been living under a rock the past year or so, Trank’s film has had a hellacious time in production.
“Fantastic Four“, the movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe starring Michael B. Jordan, Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell and Toby Kebbell, has already hit theaters.
Fantastic Four, which arrives in cinemas worldwide today (August 7), has been pummelled by critics and now has a lowly 9% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Some reactions towards the film includes blurbs like JoBlo’s Movie Emporium’s “A puzzling misfire”.
The Marvel superhero film opened this weekend to an estimated $26.2 million at the U.S. box office – way under the $40 million experts had predicted.
While this is all rumour of course, Trank was also booted out of the director’s chair for a planned Star Wars spin-off movie earlier this year. “And it’s not healthy for me right now in my life”. And now the film’s director is cutting ties with the project.
I really want to know how Josh Trank’s version would have ended.
It’s the fourth big-screen iteration of the popular comic, preceded most recently by director Tim Story’s intended franchise-launcher in 2005 and that film’s 2007 sequel, “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer“.
