I agree with him. Winter Soldier was pretty damn close though. Guardians was ok, hated the end.
As for FF, I have no interest in this film at all. I'm surprised there hasn't been some kind of trailer though, isn't it out this summer?

I don't buy it, but it's not like I'd be upset if it was true.

Tigerdroppings sole purpose is to watch drunken cajuns rant about Les Miles after LSU loses, it is not to spread film production rumors.
Though it was filmed in Baton Rouge...
Maybe that's what you do in Baton Rouge when not intoxicated and frothing mad at Les Miles?

Guys..... some dude on www.catpiss.com posted Joss Whedon did weed on set. I am afraid to say we may never see the release of Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Fox already has the XMen rights forever, as long as they keep making XMen movies, and why wouldn't they?
They already do get to keep it forever though as long as they keep making films, it isn't licensed on a temporary basis.

Reads like FUD from one of the many, many people with a hate-boner for this film. But you never know.
What I mean is that, they wouldn't be bound by a rights expiry date, but I guess you're right.
Who knows if this stuff is true though.
That is EXACTLY what it sounds like. This is the type of stuff you get when sources are a kid on youtube in front of a Spider-Man poster and message board posters.

If that twitter account is him then he seems super unprofessional.

It seems like every non-Marvel Studios IP is being met with this sort of shit. Same thing with Spiderman. Feels like fanboys think they can somehow will the rights back to Marvel with pure hate.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
...I don't think that's him

As someone attending LSU it's still scary lol. But I heard this stuff about a month ago make the rounds and I honestly believed it. I mean if it was gonna happen to any movie it was gonna be this one.
Yeah only saw that one tweet posted elsewhere, it looks 100% fake.

There are several dead links to older tweets that were written by Trank. So he's removed his account?

Yup.
And this is two weeks old with nobody else in that space of time reporting on it.
I thought I saw that they finished filming not long ago?
Edit: Production was done back in August.
There's this, too.
Isn't that really the same source?
Possibly, but I need to look into that to be sure.

As an LSU alumni, it makes me smile to see tigerdroppings mentioned on GAF.

Are you doubting an LSU message board member? He also probably has a thing or two to tell you about how LSU was screwed out of the Playoffs.

I think the key to Fantastic Four is having a Reed/Sue relationship be a May/September thing. If they don't nail that dynamic, they miss the mark. It's never been about the powers (if it was, we could just accept that The Incredibles is basically Fantastic Four) - its always been about those relationships.

I know this is a stretch, purely to accommodate the rumour, but since a sequel is already lined up, wouldn't it be cost effective to save some of the production shit for the sequel, and Trank destroyed that shit?

Ha! We should be so lucky.
This movie looked like a turd from the outset.
It would be quite fortuitous if it died.
Talk about an auspicious turn of events! Doubt it is true though.

A lot of movies have a sequel lined up before the first one is out, especially comic book movies.

- No poster
- No official production stills
- No trailer
- Releases this Summer
- Hobo looking blogger D00m
I think it's rational to worry about this film. These rumours sound kinda crazy, though.

Doesn't the movie have to be released for Fox to retain the rights?

I know some people here are tired of the drama and "Studio begging" but this is somewhat exciting news. The sooner the F4 is out of Fox's hands, the better.

I don't believe so. I think they need to have a film in some state of development every couple of years or so.
That being said, I don't believe this rumour since filming already wrapped.

Going by what happened with the Corman movie, it needs to be released in a "theater" with an "audience"
Didn't they hire him solely for the fact that he makes cheap movies? At least that's what I thought. "Make Fantastic Four for nothing, please thanks". I could see why a director wouldn't give a fuck.
Just give Fantastic Four back to Marvel. It's more trouble than it's worth for FOX.

So basically they need to show the finished product in at least 1 theater with the general public.

So like, the rumor is that Josh Trank was behaving badly on set several months ago and that it was so bad that Fox might write off the entire investment? I guess that's why they had a trailer house working on trailers and marketing materials in the fall. Only well into post-production and marketing prep did they realize that on-set behavior made the whole thing fruitless.
This is stupid.
The movie is probably still shit, but this is stupid.

well yeah, no shit. How was "and two of my actors were high as fuck too!" not a dead giveaway?
