Tommy Wiseau, director of cult favorite The Room, apparently is one of the few people in the US who liked the new Fantastic Four film. His big complaint? He wasn’t tapped to direct it.
He said to Milwaukee Magazine:
“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) 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.”
Well, there is no way to deny that a FF film directed by Wiseau would have been far different than what made it to theaters, but would it have been better?
Although The Room is known for being a “so bad it’s good” type of film similar to Plan 9 From Outer Space, it still sits on a 35% on Rotten Tomatoes while FF is currently at 9%.
Maybe he has a point.
What do you think? Would you like to see a Wiseau directed comic book movie?
