In the early 90s, Constantin Films held the rights to Marvel’s The Fantastic Four, and they banded together with legendary producer, Roger Corman, to create a film on a miniscule budget of $1 million dollars. A script was written, a cast was established, conventions were attended, a director was excited, and a movie was made. A film everyone involved with was beyond ecstatic about…and then it never released. Most film buffs believe they know what happened, but there is so much more to the story and Marty Langford’s film assembles all of the major parties involved to FINALLY get to the truth.
Alex Hyde-White, Jay Underwood, Joseph Culp, Oley Sassone, even Roger Corman himself – just about everyone involved with the original creation explains their take on exactly what happened with this original film in a linear storytelling timeline.
