According to a user posting on the Louisiana-based message board TigerDroppings, "Fantastic Four" director Josh Trank (2012's "Chronicle") acted recklessly and "trashed the house the production company rented for him" and "treated crew terribly."

The anonymous posts also noted that Trank, 30, has had a history of showing up late throughout the production and exhibiting signs of being "so high he couldn't speak almost everyday."

This isn't the only negative report about production for the film.

"And I keep coming back to that lack of a trailer -- or any footage -- to suggest that these mounting reports have some veracity to them," Devin Faraci at Badass Digest, who has good sources on comic-book movies, tweeted weeks ago.

Badass Digest also reported that the hotshot director was asked to "add some more action to what has shaken out to be a character-driven film."

Bleeding Cool, citing an unnamed senior executive at Fox, reported that the upcoming film of Marvel's First Family is "a mess" and at the moment, the studio officialdom are apprehensive about the state of Trank's "Fantastic Four." For starters, re-shoots have been demanded, sets have been re-built and three to four days of additional principal photography have been scheduled.

Slash Film has confirmed that producer and co-writer Simon Kinberg has gone on record stating that all accounts are true, despite production wrapping up six months ago, and the trailer will debut with another one of Fox's action thriller, "Kingsman: The Secret Service," which hits cinemas in February.

"FINE. You'll get your damn trailer in front of 'Kingsman: The Secret Service.' Happy now?" Trank said via Twitter on Jan. 16.

According to GameZone while director Matthew Vaughn (2000's "Snatch," 2010's "Kick-Ass," 2011's "X-Men: First Class") raved about the film recently, it doesn't help that leaked images from the production have been scarce, and zero concept art has surfaced from Trank's modern-day re-imagining of Marvel's novel and longest-running superhero team. That's not to say the project is doomed, though.

Trank's "Fantastic Four" is slated to be released by 20th Century Fox on Aug. 7, 2015.
