Doomed (2015)

The Untold Story of Roger Corman's the Fantastic Four

In late 1993 Roger Corman set some of his people to work on an authorized Fantastic Four movie. The movie was made very quickly and on a shoestring budget. It was never released. This is the story of the making of the movie and what happened to it after it was completed. The story is told by people who worked on the movie, both in front of and behind the camera. It looks like the movie was shelved and never officially released because of deals that were being made at high levels. According to some it was never meant to be released. At the time it was being made everyone working on it thought that it was going to be released so it dealt them quite a blow when the learned that it had been locked away in a vault never to be seen again. The irony of this situation is that bootleg copies of the movie can now be found on the internet quite easily.

This documentary was fun to watch. I have never seen the The Fantastic Four (1994) but this movie has me intrigued and interested in at least giving it a try.
