We’re back in the bathroom of
the cinematic calendar - the month of January - and this year we’re
hitting the bargain bins to dig up some turds from the comic book
movie genre. Grab some TP and "goggles up!" because this show is
not pretty - this is Canuary!
After his low budget superpower flick Chronicle
impressed audiences - and, more importantly, the brass at 20th
Century Fox - director Josh Trank became the latest patsy - er,
steward - to lead the Fantastic Four film franchise. Contractually
obligated to keep making movies to hang on to the film rights, Fox
needed to put out another installment in the franchise with a
2-1 record of actually being released in theaters. Trank recruited
a young, talented cast to build his house on and immediately
trashed said house (and a certain rental property) and set
everything on fire - and not in the cool Human Torch way. Sidelined
during reshoots and locked out of the editing bay, Trank doubled
down and threw the studio under the bus in a tweet blaming Fox for
ruining the movie, and also lost his gig directing a planned Star
Wars movie in the process. Of course, FANT4STIC, as the advertising
styled it, bombed at box office and reviewers quickly named it the
worst comic book movie in recent memory.
Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! These discussions will be spoiler filled and may explicit language, so consider yourself warned.
