During an episode of Collider Movie Talk, Jon Campea revealed that multiple sources informed him that Fox had agreed to let Josh Trank film his vision of the Fantastic Four. However, days before the film was to begin filming, Fox took out several big set pieces. Apparently, Fox also took over the final act and removed Trank from the editing room entirely.
Here’s what Campea said:
“I’ve got a source, fairly close to the production of this film, who had told me that the movie that Josh Trank and Fox had agreed on making — included 3 really big action set pieces. That was all agreed upon, it was part of the flow of the movie. And a movie is like a puzzle, you have all the pieces in place. You start messing with pieces and suddenly the whole puzzle can look out of whack. And they had agreed upon this vision for a film. And days before production began, Fox came in and made him pull 3 main action sequences out of the film. I was also told, the ending of the film was not even Josh Trank’s. At some point they hijacked the editing bay from him. To the point that the editing of the film was done without him.”
