Rumors or word on the street is that Trank hot himself fired from a future Star Wars gig with Disney because of how he handled himself on the production of this film, where secondary production managers had to step up. Trank later said he removed himself from his directorial gig. (Um, yea, I too would pull myself from working in the biggest sci-fi franchise ever, under the biggest entertainment roof in the business. Sure.)

Fox says this film will rock, and Trank's previous work on Chronicle had me excited about this newest and very different take on one of Marvel's oldest comic franchise titles.
