I think they backlash they received from the new Doom backstory (Doom pissed off internet mod) is when the studio really started to step in

Maybe, but I've heard this thing was doomed from the beginning.

Fox apparently cut 3 big action set pieces days before shooting began on Fantastic Four

"I've got a source, fairly close to the production of this film, who had told me that the movie that Josh Trank and Fox had agreed on making — included 3 really big action set pieces. That was all agreed upon, it was part of the flow of the movie. And a movie is like a puzzle, you have all the pieces in place. You start messing with pieces and suddenly the whole puzzle can look out of whack. And they had agreed upon this vision for a film. And days before production began, Fox came in and made him pull 3 main action sequences out of the film. I was also told, the ending of the film was not even Josh Trank's. At some point they hijacked the editing bay from him. To the point that the editing of the film was done without him."

It sounds like Fox didn't want to put in the money for this one like they promised Trank in the beginning. That probably put a big strain in the relationship between Trank and Fox from the get go. It may be the reason why Trank started acting like a dip shite during production. I'm sure the Dr Doom origin backlash didn't help things either. Maybe one day somebody will make a cool documentary on this like The Death of Superman Lives. I just wish they would have decided to kill this one in the beginning like WB did that one. Fox would rather finish a piece of shite in order to keep the rights.
