History Film / TheFantasticFour

In 1992, The Constantin Film production company held the film rights to the ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'' comic book, but they were about to lose said film rights unless they began production by December of that year. Since both the budget and the technology necessary for such a venture were lacking at the time, they instead opted to do a ''very'' low-budget film Produced by Roger Corman and directed by Oley Sassone; purely as an AshCanCopy to maintain the rights, and never released it in theatres, VHS, DVD or any other form. Although a release date was set for 1994 and the cast and crew were told the film would be released, this turned out to be BlatantLies.
According to some fans and critics who got their hands on the movie (it circulated via bootleg video in comic-cons and such) not getting released was the best thing about it. Other viewers exhibit rabid devotion to it and demand it's official video release. Most people are unaware that the film exists even exists.

According to those fans and critics who got their hands on the movie (it circulated via bootleg video in comic-cons and such) not getting released was the best thing about it. Most people are unaware that such a thing exists; and those that do know of it pretend they don't.
