Convince Fox to release Josh Trank's Director's Cut of Fantastic Four on Blu-ray.
The Issue
One of the most controversial Hollywood productions in recent memory, 2015's Fantastic Four was released to extreme critical disdain and poor box office returns. The heavily-edited, 100-minute film was criticized for underwhelming special effects, underdeveloped characters, poor pacing (particularly in its now-infamous climax), and obvious reshoots that many believe led to major story changes. The original cut of the film, according to director Josh Trank (who disowned the version that was theatrically released on August of 2015), was 130 minutes long, with the final cut expected to be 140 minutes long (http://collider.com/the-fantastic-four-movie-details-josh-trank/). Judging from the date of this statement and the extensive presence of reshoots throughout the film (due to the obvious wig worn by Kate Mara in many scenes), this cut of the film was most likely put together prior to the newer scenes that were shot. This former version was reportedly screened in February, with this being the only review available (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MadManReviewer/news/?a=123439). Scenes not present in the film are shown in its trailers, previews, B-rolls and other promotional materials, leaving many curious as to what the original film was like. Knowing that the original film was edited together at some point, despite unfinished special effects, this petition aims to convince Fox to release the director's original cut of Fantastic Four on home media for audiences to get the film they were promised through its promotion.
