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.

i loved that guy and his funky accessory

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

hey guys Teller already shot that movie, they ended up calling it Whiplash

breaking news guys: Josh Trank got fired from another Star Wars spinoff

you guys see the Vanity Fair pics? holy shit.

andy serkis confirmed to be playing 'supreme leader snoke', contuining grand tradition of fucking ridiculous star wars names

i hope his second in command is called schneef

Sometime wonder if Lucas had never actually met anyone called Luke, just threw it in as another wacky name.

i'm just hoping to hear some good jizz

call me a traditionalist but I prefer classic hot jizz to cool or free jizz

Follow the snoke to sith-filled land.

hm

Serkis in motion capture + "Snoke" maybe = a lizard/reptile type villain? Would be innerestink.

Supreme Leader Skink

Would be innerestink.

why

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Reptilian_sentient_species

Why? Because visually cool. Nothing more or less.

Oh man I hope he's one of the Swimming People of Dellait

Star Wars Rebels is back on!

Their Darth Vader portrayal, so much more powerful than any Jedi left, so good.

I worry these guys are spreading themselves too thin

hopefully starring channing tatum and jonah hill as chewbacca and han solo, respectively.

i kind of like the idea of a million "star wars" films made in widely varying styles and tones

maybe gaspar noe can make a film about the fleshpits of tatooine

david cronenberg can make one about people who like to have sex while crashing spaceships into each other

etc

this is gonna be like the marvel films shortly where i'm three behind isn't it

And you can re-create the plot of the ones you missed by mashing action figures together.

"hopefully starring channing tatum and jonah hill as chewbacca and han solo, respectively."

this would be amazing

reverse that and I'll buy tickets right now

kinda hilarious how almost every line of that seems like they had to quickly cut away to omit an "... unlike the prequels!"

I have high hopes, I guess, but JJ Abrams often disappoints. At least Damon Lindelof is not involved.
