Josh Trank, director of Fox's near-universally-panned Fantastic Four movie, has tweeted out that we'll never see the "fantastic" version of his movie that he had a year ago.

"A year ago I had a fantastic version of this", Trank tweeted. "And it would've received great reviews. You’ll probably never see it. That’s reality though."Though the tweet was quickly deleted (and screengrabbed by about a million Twitter users ), the implication was clear: studio meddling. Our review of Fantastic Four dropped earlier today. We called it "aesthetically drab and dramatically inert".
