Before reviews here's Trank;:
".... We were on-schedule and on-budget and we had a great shoot. I run a really tight ship as a director because I take those days very seriously. I take every day very seriously in terms of what we need to accomplish, what we need to get done with the actors. And I just like being on time. For instance, Chronicle was like a thirty-four day shoot. This was twice as long as that so you really have to pace yourself throughout. And shooting a movie this big, this is my first time shooting a movie that’s this long, you get to the editing room and you’re surprised by the stuff you didn’t anticipate would work so well. And just like Simon was saying, you see those little connective things that you didn’t even realize and you’re like “God, I’d like to grab that up.” And what’s been so cool is that the studio has been very happy to make that happen because they’re so excited about the movie..."
Sounds like someone in complete creative control and grateful to the studio for providing the opportunity, no?
If the reviews had been favorable would he have come out suddenly blame Fox for mucking up his movie?
He's already garnered a reputation in the FF shooting as unapproachable in the creative process (perhaps due to being overwhelmed by a massive studio project?). Now, with an impulsive Twitter post spits poison at Fox studios.
Good lord, this guy's career is a slow-motion car wreck.
Please, Josh. Pull it together. You are young and still have enough clout to keep working if you just stop burning your bridges. If the Wachowskis and Blomkamp can endure through critical and box office bombs then so can you. Just be smart and suck it up. It's not too late.
