>For someone so fond of discovering new talent, and so well-acquainted with Kennedy’s Star Wars plans, you’d think Spielberg would be aware of Josh Trank. The promising director of Chronicle was once attached to direct one of the upcoming Star Wars anthology films, rumored to center on Boba Fett. But Lucasfilm parted ways with Trank following numerous reports of issues on the set of the disastrous Fantastic Four reboot. >So when asked how he ensures that one of his proteges isn’t “another Josh Trank,” Spielberg only had this to say: >"Who is that?" screencrush.com/spielberg-trank-diss/
Will Gareth Edwards become the new Josh Trank, now that Disney is reshooting most of Rouge One with a different director?

George already revealed that the studio wanted a remake of the first SW film so there was nothing that could have saved it.

Episode 7 is the third highest grossing picture. Steven was right as usual.
Spielberg is a populist, he never made movies that challenged the viewer he made fun comfort cinema. There's a reason he Executive Produced Bayformers.
Ayden Cooper
JUST Trank
Gabriel Stewart
I thought that was our boy Max Landis
Ryan Miller
Fantastic Four is better than most of what Spielberg has put out in the last decade
David Cruz
Damn. Just goes to show how Hollywood is like a cult and if you mess with one of them you mess with all of them
Kayden Thompson
Jews just like how he found Han Solo's replacement in a bar mitzvah

You just don't appreciate what he achieves in his own unique style is all. It's ok to miss the mark of recognizing the old style of cinema. Don't worry.

>You make a box office bomb >Had a Diva meltdown while making the movie >Cost the studio millions of dollars >"Bah gawd Spielberg ruined his career"
Director's get so much credit because they're the fucking boss of the picture, and note that they don't actually make the finished film we enjoy that's the editor's job. The director makes sure everyone does their job during a costly and chaotic production cycle.
If the director can't run the show (like Trank did) you've failed your job.
You can make a bomb for sure (Spielberg and most directors have done plenty of those) but you can't have a meltdown while filming like Trank did.
