Following a rushed shooting schedule to avoid turning over the rights to Marvel, and now a nasty tweet dismissing the film from its own director Josh Trank, a reboot of Fantastic Four was released this weekend, and surprise, it’s rough. This week we welcome CutPrintFilm’s Chris Evangelista to talk the trend of indie directors taking on massive franchises, and whether the scorn heaped on Trank is in anyway deserving. We also talk new trailers, new projects by the Coen Brothers and Greta Gerwig, and take a blast to the past for our WTF of the Week.
