Screen Rant reports that the Josh Trank directed Fantastic Four reboot is reshooting certain parts despite announcing that filming has wrapped six months ago. The movie in its early stages have been controversial due to casting selections; adding fuel to the flame, there have been recent rumors reporting that Trank's remake is a "mess."
Writer-producer Simon Kinberg explains the reshoots with LR, saying that adding footage during post-production is a normal part of the process:
"To confirm - Fantastic Four will be doing 3-4 days of additional photography with director Josh Trank and some key cast members. We are very excited about the film and can't wait for you to see what we've been up to. And you will be able to do that very soon as I can confirm here that the teaser will be on Kingsman in theaters February 13."
Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn thinks otherwise, having already seen some footage he confirms that the film is "good".
Quote via Flickering Myth:
"I thought Chronicle was a fantastic movie and [Josh] Trank has gone off and done his version of Fantastic Four. If you like Chronicle, then you'll like this... We're all backing Josh Trank's vision... And hopefully the world will like Josh Trank's vision." he said.
Here's the official synopsis for the movie:
THE FANTASTIC FOUR, a contemporary re-imagining of Marvel's original and longest-running superhero team, centers on four young outsiders who teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe, which alters their physical form in shocking ways. Their lives irrevocably upended, the team must learn to harness their daunting new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.
We will be expecting to see the first Fantastic Four footage along with Kingsman: The Secret Service on February 13. Fantastic Four arrives in theaters on August 7.
