“Might as well show some work from this movie called Fantastic Four lol,” Jung wrote on his official Facebook page. “I was on this one early on before all the drama happened… none of my work made it to the movie (kinda glad) since it got changed many times after I left the project. Exploration of the Planet Zero and Victor’s castle ideations. By the way, the texture of the terrain is cigarette buds from a picture of the director’s ashtray.”
When Jung was asked if director Josh Trank specifically requested the cigarette bud-look, he replied, “Yes, he took the picture himself.” Jung then added, “The white puss coming out of the rocks were requested as well.”
