Doomed! The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s Fantastic Four Comes to DVD & VOD

The filmmakers and performers involved in Roger Corman’s ill-fated Fantastic Four can laugh now, but back when it was being made, movie-making was serious business. Their look back at what this film meant to them gives more than an insightful look at Doomed! The Untold Story.

This documentary is set for release on VOD October 10th and put to DVD for Dec 20th release.

This movie was shelved, never to be seen, and the negative was transferred to some other rights holder – to which Corman let go without too much dispute.

Anyone enterprising enough can attempt an exhaustive search for a digital bootleg or simply go to a convention to snap up a DVD, but does anyone want to?

Now that comic book movies are in demand, explanations are offered as to why it never got the theatrical treatment. Allusions are made to say the producers were simply holding on to the paperwork required to bank a bigger paycheck.
