Many assumed that Josh Trank (27) would follow up his break-out hit film, Chronicle with a major studio blockbuster. His name was mentioned for both Venom and Fantastic Four before the young filmmaker chose to adapt Red Star, the graphic novel by Christian Gossett. Apparently, that won't keep Trank off a Fantastic Four reboot says Fox chief Tom Rothman.
"I'm hopeful," said Rothman. "I think Josh is going to come onto 'Fantastic Four' and develop that." Speaking to
Collider, Rothman states that Trank is actually developing the movie
NOW and may or may not direct.
As for the X-Men:First Class sequel. Rothman stated, "We're going to start shooting January 2013 for [a release date of] either Christmas 2013, or Summer 201. The script is in development now. Matt, Simon Kinberg and Jane Goldman are working on it now."
