Josh Trank WAS working on a Boba Fett/Bounty Hunter Gil..

I wonder if it's still on the table.

According to the article, it's on the backburner.

Personally, I'm happy about that. I'd rather it be put on the backburner than let that hack Trank anywhere near it after the clusterpluck that was Fant-Four-Stick. In my opinion, the only worse choice would be Uwe Boll.

****** almighty, I hope not. Trank has not shown that he's capable of playing in someone else's sandbox without taking a gigantic **** in the middle of it.

No Trank is out, the project yet may still see light of day.

The thing is Uwe Boll probably can actually direct, he just does low budget turds because it's what he's known for and has fans of. If that stopped I wouldn't be surprised to actually see something good from him. After Fantastic Four Josh Trank should be scrubbing toilets.

Josh Trank has lost his L.A. privileges. If the project happens it will be somebody else for sure.

Actually the reason why Uwe Boll did so many low budget turds is because he was taking advantage of a German tax laws.

Up to 2005, when the law changed, Germany used tax measures to incentivise film investment. Essentially, a tax break of 100% for investment and also a write off of any banking fees associated if you chose to borrow the investment funds. The only tax you would pay on the invested sum was on any profits made by the film (which, of course, was not particularly common for a Uwe Boll film).

So, by borrowing the investment from a bank, a wealthy individual could write off the majority of their tax bill and usually reclaim at least 50% from movie profits. Essentially, they halved their tax bill by investing.

Purpotedly, Uwe Boll had his own tax shelter fund at the time and utilized this extensively to fund the majority of his films. Genius, really.

Go lash yourself 100 times for that! Don't speak that name in the same sentence as SW! :lol


I would like to see a good Boba Fett movie, however it's a hard pill to swallow since he went out like such a punk! I'd much rather see a Jango Fett movie.

PFFT! Like Disney is really gonna let Boba Fett die in that Sarlacc Pit? He didn't even stay down there in the EU, let alone the situation now. There is real money to be made by digging him up for future movies.

He was a spoiled brat who got some cool armor and a cool ship! :lol

No Fett movie is the best Fett movie. The more you see of Jaws, the less scary it is.
Lucas already tarnished the greatness of the character by tying him in so deeply with the prequels. Please, LFL, leave Fett alone (as far as having his own movie).
