Fox should have never green lit the project. They saw the script. They saw the production design. They knew things weren't looking good, but they pushed ahead anyway. Trank works for Fox. They're in charge and they put this project in the hands of someone who couldn't handle it.
Fox bears more blame for giving an incompetent director this much responsibility than Trank bears for simply being incompetent IMO.
Most big budget films are a collaborative process, and hardly reflect the vision the director initially had. Its Trank's fault for not being cooperative if these rumors are true. Remember, alot of money goes into these things, and they come out of the studios pocket, not the director. Fox wouldn't hand Trank free reign to a multi million dollar production, unless he was some Steven Spielberg/Nolan proven film-maker, which he has yet to be. IMO, this is a result of Trank not keeping his ego in check, and realizing he can't have all the control on this project like he did Chronicle.
