Fant4stic. Josh Trank. Josh Boone. Remember Josh Boone at one point of time was Twitter buddies with Trank and I am sure got some inspiration from concept arts and stuff that Trank must have made for F4.
Large portions of Fant4stic was reshot without the director's involvement but due to lack of time to complete the movie, they just hacked it to pieces and turned it into a giant mess. Should have just left it as it was. A 125+ minute sci-fi/body horror movie with some action, which frankly was better shot than what ended up in the movie.
This movie is facing same problem now except it has more than 1 year to reshoot and complete the movie. In the end, it will turn out fine, but yeah I am expecting them to amp up the action part and lighten some moments or add some comedy. I wonder if Disney and Kevin saw this and was like....WoAh...need to tone down big time...if you want to keep this franchise going in Disney. Simon wants to be part of Disney/MCU going forward so yeah...
