Josh Trank – Career

Early Days

At the start of his career as a filmmaker, Trank began posting his videos on YouTube. His video Stabbing at Leia's 22nd Birthday became very popular overnight which put him in the spotlight. He wrote and directed a spin-off of the web miniseries The Kill Point. His next major work was as an editor, and co-producer in the independent film Big Fan, which also starred Patton Oswalt.

Finally, in 2011 Josh Trank directed his first feature film Chronicle. It was released on February 3, 2012, and a critical success- grossing over $125 million worldwide, making him the youngest director to open a film at the US box office at number one.

Films, TV Series

Following his breakthrough with Chronicle, Trank was in talks to work in the Spider-Man spin-off Venom,  Warner Bros.'s The Red Star, and Sony’s Shadow of the Colossus. However, he turned them all now.

In 2015 Josh Trank directed Fantastic Four (2015). The film was a flop, receiving a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. He infamously blamed the poor reviews on changes imposed by the studio and actor Toby Kebbell, who starred in the film, supported Trank’s claim. His Al Capone biopic Capone, in which he worked as a director and editor, was released in May 2020 and starred Tom Hardy. 

In May 2020 it was reported he was working to create a TV series about the CIA.
