After weathering a year of terrible press, Fantastic Four director Josh Trank briefly spoke on Twitter late Thursday about the abysmal reviews his gritty reboot of the Marvel superhero franchise has been receiving all week. (The film has a 26 score on Metacritic and just a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.)

The director, who won wide acclaim for his 2012 directorial debut Chronicle, tweeted that his original vision for Fantastic Four was "fantastic" — and that audiences will likely never see it.
