      - Yet the subject of this post. -- nm - Spawn Sep 17, 07:44 16
        
        I think this movie's production issues are known by all... - Will Hunting Sep 17, 07:51 13
        
        Are you arguing that Trank wasn't the primary problem? -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 07:52 12
        
        Like all disasters, this required more than one thing to go very wrong. -- nm - Roger More Sep 17, 07:57
        
        I think he was likely a part of it; but iirc about 9 months ago, there was a tremendous shift on the behest of the studio. - Will Hunting Sep 17, 07:55
        
        Primary? No. A part, yes. -- nm - Spawn Sep 17, 07:54
        
        yeah, it sounds like the studio was giving him a lot of shit throughout the process. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 17, 07:53 8
        
        Everything I've heard indicates he deserved the shit. The studio knew they had a problem with him and had to step in. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 07:57 7
        
        EW did a great post-mortem which covers the problems at the studio (as well as with Trank) -- (link) - Roger More Sep 17, 08:04 3
        
        The other thing I'd add is that it was the studio's vision for a dark, gritty Fantastic Four movie was the reason for hiring Trank. But I don't know - Roger More Sep 17, 08:08 2
        
        To be fair, I'm not convinced ANYBODY wants a Fantastic Four movie, period. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 08:10 1
        
        Yeah but I'm sure Fox will try another reboot in a few years - eag Sep 17, 08:25
        
        When the director is hiding in his trailer the movie doesn't get completed without the studio majorly stepping in. -- nm - Ender Sep 17, 07:59 2
        
        chicken/egg? -- nm - Spawn Sep 17, 08:01 1
        
        Sounds like it. Fox changed the movie up significantly on him prior to production and he reacted badly. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 17, 08:07
        
        So the drinks worked! -- nm - Roger More Sep 17, 07:47 1
