USA TODAYTHURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 2015 LIFE 5D

It has taken a few years, butThe X Factor may have yieldedanother star. When Bea Miller’sNot an Apology debuted at No. 7on this week’s Billboard albumcharts, the 16-year-old singer farexceeded initial projections.

Miller, who’s on tour with FifthHarmony, sold 24,000 copies ofher debut album, according toNielsen Music, and her currentsingle, Fire N Gold, is making themove from Radio Disney to Top40 radio stations.

Q: You don’t come across assomeone who likes to backdown. But you’re also a teen-ager who was making yourfirst album with more experi-

enced people. How did youhandle it when you wouldbutt heads with them?

A: One thing I’ve learned howto do recently is compromise andlisten to other people’s ideas. Ican let them convince me, onceI’ve made my mind up aboutsomething, that I’m actually notcorrect and that we can do some-thing better than I thought. ...There was a lot of compromising,but we did all right, I think.

Q: This Is Not an Apologywas a battle you won. Thesong wasn’t going to be on thealbum, but it wound up givingthe album its name, too. Wasthat you going, “I got my waythere, so now I’m going to dothis, too”?

I didn’t want to name the al-bum after a track. I don’t likethat. There are more creative

ways to name an album. It’s acop-out, honestly.

I was so against it for the long-est time: “People are going tothink we’re naming it after thesong, and we’re not, and it’s a to-tally di�erent thing.” I guess Iwas right, because people actuallydo think it’s the track I named thealbum after, and it’s not.

Not an Apology is a good title,

because I speak my mind morethan the average teenage girldoes, and I don’t ever apologizefor having an opinion. ... I thinkit’s a good title, but it’s definitelynot named after that track, be-cause that track’s a breakup song.

Q: If you had been left toyour own devices, what wouldthe album’s title be?

I wanted to name it SweetWords From a Serpent’s Tongue,which is one of the lines from En-emy Fire.

A lot of legendary musicianshave had long album titles. But Iwas told, “That’s long, it would beconfusing.” Whatever. I wanted togo with something along thoselines, a lyric or something thatwasn’t an album title.

Q: You were sick the nightyou recorded Paper Doll, but

you’ve said it’s your favoritesong on the album. Do youhear it and think, “I wouldhave sung better if I had feltbetter” or “My voice was justmessed up enough that nightto make this sound good”?

A: I think it was just messed upenough to make it sound good. Ialready have a very low, raspyvoice for a girl. When I’m sick, itsounds even raspier. I wasn’t sickto the point where I was throwingup and feeling really awful, like Icouldn’t work. It was more like abad cold. So my throat was dry,my nose was runny and I wasn’tfeeling my best. But because myvoice was a lot raspier than usual,it sounds way cooler.

I was also sad when I was re-cording that song, because it’s anemotional song. I think the com-bination of the two things is real-ly interesting.

USA TODAYTHURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 2015 LIFE 5D

For the longest time, MarvelComics billed Fantastic Four as“The World’s Greatest ComicsMagazine.” Yet as the new movieclearly showed this past weekend,the foursome is far from staking asimilar claim on the big screen.

20th Century Fox’s latestreboot of Fantastic Four — featur-ing the stretchable Mr. Fantastic,Invisible Woman, Human Torchand monstrous The Thing — wasa bomb at the box o�ce. Mattersweren’t helped by reports of atroubled production, horrific re-views and director Josh Trank

throwing the film under the busvia social media.

The film is enough of a disasterto raise questions about just whatcould be next for this franchise.

“It was like the perfect stormof bad things,” says Je� Bock,senior box o�ce analyst forExhibitor Relations. A $25.7 mil-lion opening weekend “is unac-ceptable for a film that cost $120 (million). Even if foreigngrosses buoy it a little bit, it’s stillnever going to be a success.”

The heroes might be gettingclobbered now, but there are op-tions for their future.

Fox has a June 9, 2017, releasedate in place for a sequel with thereturning cast of Miles Teller,Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordanand Jamie Bell. The studio couldgo forward with it and risk anoth-er huge loss, or pivot and use thefour as guest stars in a X-Menmovie, “a la what Batman v

Superman is doing,” says ErikDavis, contributing editor forFandango.com and Movies.com.

X-Men director Bryan Singerhas hinted at a big-screen cross-over project, and Fantastic Fourco-writer Simon Kinberg toldUSA TODAY in April that he’dlove to see it happen: “It was inmy dreams as a child, in mydreams as a teenager, and it’s inmy dreams as a guy in my 40s.”

X-Men has a “rabid following,and Fantastic Four has no follow-ing, based on that opening,” Bocksays. “The bottom line is honestlyalways the bottom line.”

Fox could partner with Disneyand Marvel Studios, the bigcheese of the superhero genre,bringing the Fantastic Four intothe Marvel Cinematic Universeto hang with the Avengers. (Afan-made Change.org petitionasking Fox to sell the rights backto Marvel garnered more than

20,000 signatures in two days.)After two substandard Amaz-

ing Spider-Man movies starringAndrew Garfield, Sony teamedwith Marvel to put the web-swinging good guy in next year’sCaptain America: Civil War andhis own solo movie in 2017. Foxcould follow suit with the Fantas-tic Four; in Marvel’s hands, therewould almost certainly be amovie with a new cast, possibly in

the slate of movies followingAvengers: Infinity War — Part 2 in2019, or maybe a TV series onNetflix or Disney-owned ABC.

If you’re Fox, Bock adds, youdon’t want to hand the licensecompletely to Marvel for nothing:“With superheroes so popularright now, maybe working out adeal is the way to go.”

Even with Fox’s recent failure,“Marvel Studios is taking achance on Spider-Man shortlyafter Sony rebooted the franchise,so I don’t think Fantastic Fouris any more tainted,” says PeterSciretta, editor in chief ofSlashfilm.com.

Adds Davis: “There’s no givingup on them as a film property.There’s just finding the right peo-ple to make them truly work in away that makes them both suc-cessful and di�erent from whatthe other studios are doing withtheir superheroes.”
