The glut of comic-book movies that fill the cinema these days has also led to a perhaps not surprising look back among fans, filmmakers and commentators at the simpler times of the genre, with documentaries and oral histories emerging about everything from the ill-fated Nicolas Cage Superman to the nearly forgotten 1970s Doctor Strange TV movie and beyond. The latest of these trips to what-might-have-been land, and in some cases what-never-should’ve-been land, is Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman's the Fantastic Four, which is out on DVD and Blu-ray this week.

Any fanboy worth his salt knows the story, at least partially, of the 1994 Fantastic Four movie that was never released. Made on a shoestring budget by shlock king Roger Corman and German production company Constantin Film, the film is one of the highest profile titles never officially distributed. You can watch it on YouTube, I think, and its trailers have been giggled at by millions of geeks over the years. But what was the deal with this movie, really? Why wasn't it released? Who thought it would work to begin with? Was it ever meant to be seen at all?
