Josh Trank tweeted that the final version of Fantastic Four was not his own and that his version would have gotten better reviews.
The tweet, sent out on Thursday, but now deleted, claimed that Trank had a version that he was happy with a year ago and implied that the studio made changes and that his version will now never be seen, saying “that’s reality though.”
The production of Fantastic Four was plagued with problems. Trank’s behavior and unusual conduct on set was a cause of great concern among Fox chiefs.
Things on set got so bad that producers Simon Kinberg and Hutch Parker had to step in to finish the film, with re-shoots just three months before opening.
Trank was set to direct the second Star Wars stand-alone project. But Kinberg, who is producing that movie, is said to have communicated his displeasure with Trank to Kathleen Kennedy and the team at Lucasfilm. Trank then left the Star Wars project.
