Joshua Trank, a talented American filmmaker and screenwriter, made a significant breakthrough in the industry by helming the found footage superhero film Chronicle for 20th Century Fox in the year 2012.
His subsequent appointment to direct Fant4stic, a much-anticipated reboot of the Tim Story Fantastic Four film series of the 2000s, starring an ensemble cast comprising Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, and Kate Mara, garnered considerable attention.
However, the final product, which was released in 2015, received widespread criticism, leading to a reevaluation of the Jessica Alba-starring Fantastic Four films for their lighthearted tone and chemistry, which were deemed superior to the disappointing Fant4stic.
In the aftermath of the film's failure, Trank shifted his focus to smaller-scale projects, including the highly anticipated film Capone, which boasts the impressive talent of Tom Hardy.
