Proper Star Wars

Includes at least two classic Star Wars aliens, an Ithorian second from left, and one of the dude's from Jabba's palace near the right, next to the guy in red.

evil dark really really bad adam in a snowscape followed by nu-snowtroopers is really cracking me up

I'm parsing him as Imperial middle management jobsworth rather than evil dark really really bad.

I hope this is really good and everyone rubs it in Lucas's face for the rest of his life (in regards to the prequels of course)

So Josh Trank got fired from the 2nd spinoff movie that they hadn't even started yet

very publicly too.. he fucked up. hell hath no fury like a studio scorned.

Something about dogs messing up the house fox was renting for him?

Indeed, producers on Fantastic Four, set for release July 30, are said to have faced great challenges pulling the film together given behavior described by one insider as “erratic” and at times “very isolated.” Trank did not offer clear direction, this person adds, saying, "If you've got someone who can't answer questions or who isn't sure or is in hiding, that's not good."

A Fox spokesman says the studio is “very happy with the movie and we can’t wait for audiences to see it” but acknowledges, “There were definitely some bumps in the road.”

Among those bumps: Trank has several small dogs who were left in a rented house in New Orleans while the film was shooting there. According to sources, as much as $100,000 worth of damage was done to the property. A source says the production considers any destruction of the property to be Trank's responsibility.

Citing Trank’s work on the 2012 found-footage superhero movie Chronicle, an insider says: “No question there’s talent there. You can’t do Chronicle by accident.” But Trank seemed “like one of these kids who comes to the NBA with all the talent and none of the character-based skills to handle it. There’s equipment he doesn’t yet have.”

man, to lose a star wars movie cuz your dogs shit all over a house

It sounds like he mostly got fired because he couldn't finish Fantastic Four filing on-time and the actors keep getting yanked back in from the movies they moved on to to re-shoot scenes

i mean "filming", the filing by all accounts was fair

Yeah I assume FF is overbudget and shitty.. and the one low blow detail they can leak about going over budget is the 100k in dog shit line item

That's Hollyweird for ya!

$100,000?!?!!?

I'm sure the landlord came up with that estimate.

It would be cool to see a movie about several small dogs doing $100k damage to a house.

According to sources, Trank was sometimes indecisive and uncommunicative. Producers Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker had to step in to help pull the film together, though sources stress that Trank was still on set and directing the film. (Were that not the case, the production could have run afoul of the Directors Guild of America.)

Just over three months from opening, Fox’s Fantastic Four has done re-shoots. Those were complicated because stars Miles Teller, Kate Mara and Michael B. Jordan had obligations on other films. The most recent round, which involved three days of re-shoots at the end of April, had to take place on weekends because of Teller’s work on Todd Phillip’s Arms and the Dude. Parker and Kinberg are said to have been heavily involved in those re-shoots, pulling them away from duties in Canada on X-Men: Apocalypse, which they also are producing.

Given the issues with Trank’s performance, the production added Stephen Rivkin (Avatar) to help pull the film together. Trank had hired his Chronicle editor, Elliot Greenberg, on the project.

So what's the over/under on Trank being a Marvel Studios mole?

I'm sure there was a passage in the Art of War about how to handle a rival who's making a pointless reboot to retain rights to a property that you want for yourself.
