Fant4stic Fant4stic: Reborn! - - - - - - - - Part 27

Okay so with that in mind, are you still going to go see this anyway?

There seems to be a whole lot of people making good points for being vegan while still showing up at Arby's these days.....

All I'm saying is that you can't be on the PETA board rocking a Mike Vick Jersey and expect to be taken seriously. Not you per say just the whiff in the air I guess....

I'm not sure what I have posted to make you think I am planning to go see this movie at the theater. I have not liked what I have seen or heard about the production. I have not liked what I have seen in pics and trailer of it. I have said in the past that I will not go see this at the theater because I feel they have disrespected the characters. I have said all this several times since the beginning of this production. So why do you have to ask me if I have changed my mind?

You are my freaking hero! People seem to want to turn this into a Marvel Studios bandwagon thing but it isn't. Fox has crapped on this franchise twice already and now appears to be a third time. I'm not saying people should boycott this thing but the only way that Fox will listen is if the fans put their foot down and just not see it. It amazes how they remain true to the t thus far with Deadpool but don't have a clue with this franchise, especially Doom.

Why is it that its always Simon Kinberg commenting on the movie? Where is the director in all of this? Have they locked Trank up in a closet somewhere?

Nothing at all. But that's the point.

Imagine if Gandhi was alive and just started slapping the h3ll out of people on sight.

That's how this particular forum feels at times. So its good to see that some people aren't as indecisive as other.

He is the main producer on the film, as well as one of the writers. That's his job. I suspect Trank is busy making the film. That's HIS job.

The dude from Hitflix is friends with Kinberg.

Trank has been finished filming for months, Kinberg is literally on the set of another huge movie and yet he finds the time to comment.

I try to see as man comic book related movies at the theater as I can. The main thing that gets me in the theater is....if it looks and sounds good to me.

When Frank Miller's version of THE SPIRIT was being made, what I heard about the production turned me completely off. I was a Spirit fan, I have read him since Warren Publications started reprinting him in the 70's. I have a copy of the '87 TV movie that I watch every couple of years because it is a decent adaptation. But I refused to go to the theater to see the Miller movie. A year or so after it was released I found a cheap used copy (I am a collector, I try to collect all movies and TV shows, some I buy as soon as they are released....some I wait until they are cheap used copies) and saw it. It was even worse than I had thought. I am a big GREEN HORNET fan. I have the two serials from the 40's, the 60's TV shows, and many books of the character. I did not like hearing that Seth Rogen would be playing the character and that it would be a comedy. I did not go see it at the theater. I bought a used DVD later. It was as bad as I thought it had sounded. I liked the first GHOST RIDER movie....but what I heard about the second one I did not like. I did not go to the theater to see it, saw it later on used DVD, and it was worse than I had thought it was.

So when I say that the production does not look good to me and that I will not see it in the theaters...that is what I mean.

I'm trying to remain optimistic, but you summed up my views better than I can at the moment...

ikr.

He didn't show up at his panel at Star Wars Celebration either. Said he had the flu.

LOL! If people don't see something is going on then they don't want to see it. Dude maybe in rehab.

You realize that the director is involved in post-production, right?

 

[Farren]

Trank's lack of presence in the PR angle of this movie has been pretty atypical though. Even Mangold took to twitter to promote The Wolverine -- even during filming -- when Fox was barely doing anything for the film themselves. In this day and age it's just really ... weird for an up and coming director making a movie with a fandom to be this silent. In the Collider interview he said he didn't interact with the public at all because he liked to shoot fast and hard on set -- okay fine: but STILL he's been pretty quiet in post, whereas Kinberg has been out in front of this movie in interviews.

I don't think that Trank is strung out on drugs 24/7 or in rehab or anything THAT severe -- he'd have been canned from his Star Wars movie already if he were -- but there's definitely something not on about the man.

He can't pick up a damn phone? Kinberg is literally on the set of a $200m movie and he did it.

Then why doesn't he just say that...

Is he in post-production or does he have the flu?

 

[Tony Stark]

"Fantastic Four TLR C" will probably play at AMC theaters.

And no, people definitely have said Disney/Marvel has so much power over theater chains that they decide what trailers are allowed.

Please post a link to the post that said that. You are just making stuff up. Some people have said they hoped Disney wouldn't play the trailer, to which it was corrected that the trailer is not attached, (meaning it won't show with every print) and that each theater chain can choose whether or not to show the trailer.

Someone on Twitter replied to Farci he was doing reshoots (the one Nelson was talking about I guess) on the day of the panel. He may have the flu, but the reshoots were definitely going on.

 

[Paradox1]

From what I can tell Kinberg likes talking and Trank seems like a introvert. Drug rehab nonsense is nonsense til proven otherwise.

Feel free to peruse the comments that start there. Here, I referred to Ike Perlmutter's supposed influence (and so much for that). I also said, in response to you saying "no one said Disney had the power to stop the trailer from being shown" that there were people here who have stated Disney has so much power over theaters that they can decide what happens. Nothing more. That is clearly reflected in comments on those two pages. But thank you for your empty accusation.

You are never going to be able to convince certain people that something is amidst with Josh Trank and this production.

I remain of a mindset that Disney/Marvel can dictate which trailers are placed before their films. They wielded this influence when I was managing a movie theater many moons ago, and they certainly haven't lost influence in the ensuing years. Im surprised that the trailer for FFINO may pop up before AOU, but we know the studios are talking so perhaps there is a thaw in the relationship.

I am.

 

[Spiderine]

Thank probably doesn't like that they are changing his vision for this film when they handed the reigns over to him. FOX was probably quite vocal to him about the direction he took. Trank is likely distancing himself and so is FOX from him.

So Reed DOES just stretch and they tried to make it sound fancy, just as I presumed. I really wish I had jumped The gun now and presumed his powers were going to be different like so many others .
