Max Landis defends Josh Trank

In a pretty lengthy comment, Max Landis (can be red at the end of this article) defends the director as far as his creative choices are concerned. In this way, the writer says that Chronicle was a fluke, simply because it had a rather low budget and because the studio didn’t interfere at all.

In this way, Josh Trank and Max Landis were the only ones who decided as to what Chronicle is supposed to be.

Fantastic Four, on the other hand, was nothing like Trank’s debut movie. It was a superhero movie in an age conquered by this genre. So, obviously, the studio wanted to make it a huge financial success. Hence the interference. Hence the rumored change of the director for the reshoots (which, basically, changed the movie entirely).
