Tommy Wiseau Wants To Direct The FANTASTIC FOUR Sequel
Now that we officially know that Josh Trank's Fantastic Four is among the biggest flops in 2015, we look ahead to the sequel, in hope that it's really, really, really better than the first film. Who will helm the sequel? It seems as though Tommy Wiseau is interested...
After laying eyes on Josh Trank's Fantastic Four sequel, is there truly any way to save the franchise? While most people might say no, The Room director Tommy Wiseau has strong beliefs that he'd be able to save the franchise, if Fox would let him helm the sequel film! During Wiseau's recent interview with Milwaukee Magazine he shared his thoughts on the Josh Trank's reboot film. "You know, I told you I saw this Fantastic Four….it just….I’m not being critical- let me put it this way, I like it, I did enjoy it number one. Number two, it’s too bad they didn’t call me, that’s all I want to say and I rest my case. (laughs) That’s all I can tell you. (laughs)"
After laughing off his thoughts on the unsatisfactory first film, he then implied that he would have been able to make a good Fantastic Four film, if he was hired. He also shared his interest in directing the sequel film, if Fox decides to move forward with it. "Good response in Europe though, that’s my understanding, but it’s too bad they didn’t call me, that’s my point. Maybe if there’s a sequel, you know. You know, maybe your article gets me that job, who knows what will happen."
If we actually see a Fantastic Four sequel, could Tommy Wiseau really save the Fantastic Four franchise, if hired? And if he was, would his film be better than Trank's film? I mean, the film Wiseau directed in 2003 (The Room) got a 35% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's a hell of a lot better than 9%! What do you think CBMers? Sound off below with your thoughts!
