Tonight on TV: One of the worst freaks ever made

Every day, AlloCiné recommends watching a movie (again) on TV. Tonight: A Resounding Fiasco, both critically and commercially, was released in 2015.

The success of his first feature film, Chronicle (budgeted at $12 million, the film grossed $126 million worldwide), brought Josh Trank, then 27, to the attention of producer Simon Kinberg for Fox. . The latter, responsible for the X-Men saga from the beginning, wants to start a reboot of the Fantastic 4 franchise so that people forget about the diptych set by Tim Story (2005’s Fantastic Four and The Fantastic Four and the Surfer on the money). in 2007).

John Trank sees an opportunity to make a modern adaptation that draws much of its inspiration from comics Ultimate Fantastic Four, written by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar. At the beginning, everything goes well, and the casting announces a quartet of seriously talented young actors: Jamie Bell, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller.

But, very quickly, differences arise between the director and the production, to the point where Simon Kinberg takes control of the project, arranges the filming and gives the final part himself. In the end, The Fantastic 4 collected 167 million worldwide receipts for a pharaonic budget of 120 million. Interstellar Fiasco Revealed With 3 Razzie Awards: Worst Picture (ex aequo (Fifty Shades of Grey), Worst Director, and Worst Sequel, Prequel, Remake, or Spinoff.

Due to the critical and commercial failure of the film, the future of the sequel is in question. At least until Disney’s takeover of Fox and the recent announcement of a new reboot directed by Jon Watts that will usher in Phase VI of the MCU. The Human Torch, The Thing, Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman will return to the big screen in November 2024!

You are a great foursome Josh Trank with Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan…
