Was the 1994 ‘The Fantastic Four’ the Greatest Fake Movie Ever Schemed?
Should you need a Fantastic Four fix before the release of the latest reboot of the comic IP, you are in luck. No, we’re not talking about the 2015 Josh Trank reboot, nor the 2005 one with Chris Evans. Scheduled for a US premiere on January 19, 1994, the pre-Disney The Fantastic Four was a collaborative effort between legendary filmmaker Roger Corman and Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee. Biding their time, Marvel was launching a suite of franchises just as their rivals DC had. Starring unknowns, packed with janky special effects, and directed by Oley Sassone, a music video director, this project was about as far from Marvel Phase Five as you can get. It’s not streaming anywhere. And never will.
