I recently found out that they made a Fantastic Four movie in 1994, but it was so lame that Stan Lee, in shame, cancelled its release after it was done. That’s because it was done by Roger Corman. If you don’t know who this guy is, you’re lucky.

See? It doesn’t take a second glance to know it’s uber lame.
Now, what I really wanted to say is that after X-Men, Spiderman, Daredevil and Hulk, the next superhero from Marvel to come out in the cinema is the Ironman. The scripts are being finished. Tom Cruise even said he wants to be the Ironman. Cruise says he’s trying to negotiate his role in the movie with Marvel for years now.
I wonder who could be next. A NOT LAME Fantastic Four, pheraps? Or maybe the Silver Surfer… That’d be cool.
Hmmm, Tom Cruise, he was pretty drunk durring the start of “The Last Samurai” and pretty drunk durring that one part in “Jerry McGuire”, so playing the drunk that is Tony Stark shouldn’t be to much of a chalange.
As for myself, I liked Blade a lot (trying to get his Marvel Legend figure right now), Hulk was pretty good, Daredevil was nice, X-Men 1 was good, but X2 was great. And Spiderman is overhype, but still a good movie. As for the next movies, expect Man-Thing and the Punisher soon (both confimed)!
Here’s the story behind the Fantastic Four Movie, guys:
The company that had the rights to do it waited too long to do so. So long, in fact, that the permission from Marvel to make it almost expired! So they got Roger Corman, Hollywood Master of doing-movies-quickly (and cheap) to do it, so they could put SOMETHING out; technically, that fulfilled the contract, even though the producers NEVER intended to release it, and they KNEW it would be horrible! They then stored it away, and people have only gotten to see it because a copy somehow made it to the comic book convention circles, where it either was hated, or loved for being so goofy. Meanwhile, a NEW, big-budget Fantastic Four movie is now in the works, supposedly set for a 2005 release.
(BTW, Corman is more famous for his horror movies, which while weird and cheap, at least have more panache than many big-budget movies. He’s a favorite with many B-movie fans. Even I have enjoyed a few of his movies, I’ll admit.)
