Joshua Benjamin "Josh" Trank (born February 19, 1984)〔According to someone ''California Birth Index, 1905–1995''. Center for Health Statistics, California Department of Health Services, Sacramento, California. (Familytreelegends.com )〕 is an American film director, film producer, screenwriter, and film editor. He is best known for directing the 2012 science fiction film ''Chronicle'' (his debut), and the 2015 superhero film ''Fantastic Four'', although the latter film was panned by both critics and viewers alike. ==Career== Trank worked on the 2007 Spike TV drama ''The Kill Point'' as a writer, director and editor. In 2009, Trank edited the independent film ''Big Fan'', starring Patton Oswalt. He was also credited as a co-producer and had a small acting role in the film. In 2011, Trank directed his first feature film, ''Chronicle''. It was released on February 3, 2012 by 20th Century Fox and has grossed over $125 million worldwide. ''Chronicle'', made for a budget of $12 million, was received positively by critics, earning an 85% score on Rotten Tomatoes. With ''Chronicle'' released at the age of 27, Trank became one of the youngest directors to open a film at number one at the US box office. He is followed by Steven Spielberg (28, with ''Jaws'') and James Cameron (30, with ''The Terminator''). After the release of ''Chronicle'', Trank was linked to Sony's ''Spider-Man'' spin-off, ''Venom'', Warner Bros.'s ''The Red Star'', and Sony's film adaptation of the video game ''Shadow of the Colossus''; however, Trank turned down those film projects. Trank directed the 2015 reboot of ''Fantastic Four'', which was released in August 2015. The movie was critically panned. It received a 9% rating on ''Rotten Tomatoes''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fantastic Four (2015) )〕 and a 27 out of 100 rating from ''Metacritic''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Fantastic Four )〕 Trank became the subject of controversy when he posted a message on Twitter prior to the release of the film, apparently blaming the poor reviews on changes imposed by the studio. In June 2014, it was announced that Trank would direct a stand-alone ''Star Wars'' film,〔(Variety )〕 but left the project less than a year later. Trank indicated this was a personal decision, but several outlets stated that he was dismissed from the project due to issues during production of ''Fantastic Four'', primarily a lack of communication with the film's producers, and that Lucasfilm had decided to pursue another director.〔(The Hollywood Reporter )〕 Trank told the ''Los Angeles Times'' in an interview that the reason he left the film was because he wanted to do something original and smaller-scale, due to the amount of online scrutiny he received during the filming of ''Fantastic Four''. During an interview with Kevin Smith on the podcast ''Fatman on Batman'', Trank discusses the origins of his career at length. During the interview, he attributed his YouTube video "Stabbing at Leia's 22nd Birthday", which became very popular overnight after its release, as a significant breakthrough point for his career. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Josh Trank」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
