Fantastic Four
is a Bore?
Man, did the new
reboot FF really shit up the bed. I heard the Kevin Smith podcast
detailing director Josh Trank journey from Chronicle to Fantastic
Four. Smith tried and tried to pump the movie up, but the movie is a
mess and no one went to see it.
Here's the
kicker, Trank pretty much jumped ship and threw FF movie under the
bus.
From
Trank's Twitter, ((A year ago I had a fantastic version of
this. And it would've received great reviews. You'll probably never
see it. That's reality though.))
If
the bad reviews and poor Box Office take weren't enough, Trank's
tweet put this movie in the ground. He had such a glowing view of
the movie when he did Smith's podcast. Now, it seems the trouble
behind the scenes and reshoots were true. And, the rumors of Trank
being replace seem to also be true.
Plus,
it looks like all this trouble on this set got him kicked off a Star
Wars project too. Ouch
From
EW.com, ((Even though major reshoots were undertaken to
create a more action-oriented conclusion, the pair denied rumors that
Trank had been effectively dismissed from Fantastic Four
while Kinberg and the studio retooled the climax in a bid to save a
movie they saw as a catastrophe in the making ))
Fox
put up this wall of lies pretending the movie wasn't in trouble.
Now, it has blown up in their faces. Marvel and Fox aren't the best
of friends right now, so you will probably not see the FF (Fox) tie
in with the Marvel Universe (Disney).
Now,
it looks like this reboot of FF might have been used to retain the
rights. While
they booted off the scheduled FF2 movie, they want to keep the
rights to the franchise. I think it is to just to piss off Marvel.

Someone on Twitter was telling me that Fox wants to make a X-Men live action series, but Marvel has control over that, and Marvel would love to have some of its most iconic villains back from the FF properties.
Even though they hate each other, there may be some business going on between them in the future.
You know you do bring up a good point. Fox does own the rights to some of the better villians from their comic line. It would be nice to see them get some of those villians back. I just think the hatred between to the two studios is hard for both studios to get pass.
Marvel even killed off the cast of the FF reboot in one of their comics just to dig at Fox.
Maybe there will be a similiar deal like the one with Sony.
