Support NeoGAF

[Rogue_Ledr]

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 of FOX.

Yeah, Fox can keep X-Men ....... for now.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Seems extremely hard to believe, on the other hand, it is absolute bizarre how there has been zero marketing for the film. No one even knew they had started filming until the "that's a wrap" photo on twitter. One thing is for certain, this movie is destined to bomb.

 

[Neoxon]

You mean like Zyzzyx Road!

I didn't even know that was a thing until today. Wow.

 

[Discotheque]

This is stupid.

It's a neoxon thread

I made it perfectly clear that this was a rumor.

 

[Plasticine]

So Josh Trank ran atound set like he was Danny McBride in This is the End. Was Hobo Doom his Channing Tatum?

 

[Bobby Roberts]

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.

I'm betting Neoxon either didn't know, or didn't remember after having learned that the film had already wrapped production back in August, otherwise I can't imagine he'd have paid this any attention.

Yeah for sure breh, but still. Some shitty fanboy channel youtube never helps anybody's case

 

[richiek]

I'm fine with Fox keeping the rights to the X-Men. Mutants work better in their own universe, and besides the MCU has the Inhumans.

 

[Neoxon]

It was more of the latter, mainly because there hasn't been any word of this movie for months.

 

[Neoxon]

To be fair, Armin has internal sources (Sinister Six script). But a rumor is a rumor, I'm just the messenger.

 

[Sobriquet]

What other movies that weren't stoner comedies had directors not named Kevin Smith show up to production high as hell and ended up really good? I feel like the answer may surprise me.

Countless

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Understandable. It's not like there was a lot of brouhaha about the film having wrapped, either - I think that tweet was like, the biggest announcement of it having happened, really.

 

[richiek]

Also, consider that the marketing blitz for Ant-Man, with its troubled production history, has already begun with the trailer release this week, while with FF, which is going to be released at about the same time, there has been almost no photos, publicity or footage at all released from Fox.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What other movies that weren't stoner comedies had directors not named Kevin Smith show up to production high as hell and ended up really good? I feel like the answer may surprise me.

Probably 75% of movies in the 70s and 80s?

 

[Neoxon]

I think the link of that tweet someone posted in this thread jogged my memory. I should probably keep record of this stuff.

Feige drugged Trank, destroyed the sets, blamed it all on him.

All according to plan.

Don't celebrate just yet, we don't know if this rumor is true.

 

[jon bones]

Please be true. End this shit, revert the rights.

We should be so lucky. Celestials are already in the MCU... we're so close...

Horrible for most parties involved, if true.

I'd hate to imagine how much was wasted, even if the movie was cancelled for other reasons.

2 page thread on literally two posts from a college football message board

and more "sources" repeating the posts

impressive!

but its okay because its a RUMOR

like so what if he got wasted and wrecked his rental rock star style

but now its sets and costing millions and preventing the movie from coming out and effecting star wars and reverting rights and and and

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Gotta stop reading Neoxon threads posts

the embodiment of all that is annoying about MCU fanboyism

[Timedog]

Call Kurt Russel, if he could save Tombstone and pull a drug addict out of the gutter and give him a role, he could probably salvage F4

please elaborate on kurt russells accomplishments.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

please elaborate on kurt russells accomplishments.

1. is Kurt Russell
2. has not destroyed the world with his awesomeness despite having the ability to do so

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

please elaborate on kurt russells accomplishments.

He escaped from New York.

 

[Bunta]

Those aren't real sources. A random youtube video and no-name message board. Alright then.

Psh, Tiger Droppings has been mentioned by ESPN numerous times.

True...

 

[ZackieChan]

I remember a rumor that all of the footage shot for Star Wars Episode 1 by Lucas had a blue tint to it and had to be reshot. This sounds equally bullshit.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

He got the Star Wars job in return for deliberately fucking over the Fantastic Four shoot and ensuring that the movie won't come out on time, enabling Disney to claim the rights and to bring Galactus and Doom to the MCU.

WAKE UP SHEEPLE

Why couldn't this conspiracy actually be true?

 

[Trike]

Josh Trank might have the gift of foresight if he knew that a blogger would be his villain.

 

[X05]

*insert keikaku joke*

I thought I saw that they finished filming not long ago?

Edit: Production was done back in August.

I find it extremely bizarre that this movie finished production before Ant-Man's even started, and basically nothing has come out of it.

 

[Oersted]

This makes Daily Mail look like a respectable news outlet.

 

[wwm0nkey]

If it gets canned won't rights go back to Marvel?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

If it gets canned won't rights go back to Marvel?

no. THey just have to have a movie in production. They could have kept the Daredevil rights just by putting a movie in production by a certain deadline and passed.

 

[Neoxon]

I think this was what happened with Daredevil, so maybe.

EDIT: Nevermind, Ninja Scooter corrected me.

That's what worries me.

Exactly. For Ant-Man we've had lots of pictures both from set and press, much info and even a trailer premiering this tuesday. Meanwhile of this reboot we've only seen hobo-Doom, that Thing head thingy and a suppoused wrap party pic that looked like it was taken outside a Quizznos.

 

[a secret-boss]

saw this coming.
After Sony Hack. this is Disney's next move
