RUMOR: Fantastic Four Reboot in Danger, Josh Trank May Be Out (Was High, Broke Sets)?

3. Remembers what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this
Why would it? It just increases the f4 rights reverting back to Marvel right?
That's win win!
There's a littler glimmer of hope that this movie turns out remotely tolerable (a glimmer that dims whenever something is said about this movie). But yeah, Marvel getting the rights back is the best case scenario at this point.

Sure, Trank came in high and trashed the place, but I don't think F4 is getting canned.

Does it have to be released before the rights revert to Marvel or does it merely have to be produced?

As you can read in this thread, "released" is quite a relative term. One theater in the middle of nowhete, one limited session, and it is released.
This is the best case for me, as I said before. That glimmer of hope keeps dimming, anyway.

Marvel doesn't need FF or Spidey or Xmen at this point. They've got everything planned out through 2019. Let FF come out and flop. Eventually the "franchise" isn't worth the effort and they get the rights back or they just keep taking B level (and below) characters and making them have awesome movies.
I'll gladly trade a Marvel Studios FF movie for Black Panther and/or Captain Marvel, neither of which we would be seeing if they had the rights to their bigger guns.

Sorry for being lazy but thanks for replying.
Hmm. Shit. Ah well, Marvel don't need these characters anyway.
Of course they don't. But in the case of the FF franchise there are a lot of characters that could be used in the current MCU to make it even more goddamn awesome.
We need Big G and Ike Perlmutter.
They need Doctor Doom at least
Based on the sources, this rumor being true is the least likely possibility.
And Silver Surfer, and Galactus, and Annihilus...
We don't want the rights for the FF, we want the villians silver surfer and galactus
There's still those talks involving Marvel & Sony for Spider-Man (& given Marvel's rumored plans to recast him young if they get the deal going, I can understand why). As for Fantastic Four, there's a ton of cosmic characters that are tied up with the F4 that Marvel needs (Galactus, Silver Surfer, full rights to the Skrulls, Annihilus, etc.). Not to mention the potential of a Doctor Doom done right.
X-Men is the only one that I agree with leaving alone.
I saw a rumor, looked further into it myself, & thought it was worth a discussion (albeit making sure the part of it being a rumor was made clear). I don't see the problem.
This movie has hot garbage written all over it. I'm surprised you're even defending it.
It's the sensationalism. There is nothing to indicate the movie may not come out or his career is over because the director is acting wild (and everything said about his actions is childs play to stories about the likes of Coppola or Scorsese). Especially a movie that finished production months ago.
And just because it is posted on a youtube video/message board doesn't make it a rumor. Wait to someone legitimate actually says his career is over/the film isn't going to come out before speculating I would say.

And the last words Walt Disney ever spoke were Kurt Russel.
AND WHO OWNS MARVEL? WALT DISNEY HIMSELF.
The production finishing part slipped my mind, & I do apologize for that.

MCU Fantastic Four will destroy souls due to its pure awesomeness.

As much as I want to give this movie a chance, Fantastic Four comes with some characters and properties that would be better served in the right hands.
Here is a hint: If not even Latino Review will run the story, then the sources are really bottom barrel.

Do people not click on the other link with the tweets? A guy from LR tweeted about it as did other people
Not one single person tweeted the film is in trouble of not ever coming out or that his career is over. Which is what the Title and OP states. Which is the over the top sensationalism that wasn't warranted or backed up by anything in the "sources".
All that is said is the director is wild and trashes his house. Which no one is questioning. But big time directors who do that are a dime a dozen and no one is going around claiming their already finished being filmed movies are in danger of never releasing.
Truth.
New words to live by, I suppose.

All of this sounds like bullshit. I do believe the movie sucks and that's why we haven't heard anything about it.

No I am referring to people dismissing what happened as rumors and the deal is according to the source the damages were in the 100 k area. And to set pieces as well.
Filming was in Louisiana.
That's two in a row, Neoxon. I swear to Galactus, there must be some quota you're trying to fill.
TigerDroppings icanteven :lol :lol :lol
Nothing said in that topic at the Louisiana board backs up your OP that somehow the movie is in danger of not coming out and his career is over. Just that he acted like a typical asshole director, like countless directors do.

Regardless, someone yesterday was yapping on about making new threads about new news. This is a thread based on the flimsiest of rumors. Isn't there supposed to be a MCU OT in Community where all this minor noise is supposed to go?
This isn't the MCU, so....yeah.
And it isn't even news! Saying a director is wild based on bizarre non-sources that not even the likes of Latino Review will post and they post ANYTHING with a shred of credibility is just...bizarre. The topic is barely even worthy of a tweet.
If you have to rely on a kid posting a youtube video and a message board post as "sources" that should be a big red flag.

This seems like the kind of rumor that only gained steam because people want it to be true. As bad as this film will be, it's going to come out.

I laughed.
And it is never going to happen when X-Men: Days of Future Past and Amazing Spider-Man 2 are two of the highest grossing films of 2014. Marvel ain't getting the film rights to Spider-Man and X-Men back. Fantastic Four is a question, but Fox can hold a grudge for a damn long time and if the only requirement that Fox needs is for occasional Fantastic Four films to air once in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas, they'll do it.
It was a rumor worth discussion, that's what I thought.
Amazing Spider-Man 2 only got Sony around $65 million before expenses (they spent a metric shit-ton on production & promotion). Why else are they talking with Marvel Studios.
