/Film recently ranked the five live-action Fantastic Four films and came to the following daring conclusion: Oley Sassone's unreleased 1994 entry "The Fantastic Four" was the best. Many have seen this version of "The Fantastic Four" thanks to the wide circulation of bootleg copies, and it's been ridiculed in many cinematic circles for its low budget (it was made for only $1 million), its corny dialogue, and its aggressively bad special effects. But while the cheapness of Sassone's film is visibly evident -- it was overseen by B-movie elder stateman Roger Corman -- it does manage to capture the comic-operatic tone of the original 1960s comic books. It accurately understands the outsize nature of the characters.
For many years, the only way to see "The Fantastic Four" was through surreptitiously distributed VHS taps handed off between nerdy high school students. Thanks...

In the Marvel vs. DC debate, it's important to remember that the latter had a headstart of several decades. Some of DC Comics' most popular characters were introduced on the page in the late 1930s and early 1940s, allowing them to stand at the very base of the pop culture firmament. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman both enjoyed massive success on the page and on the screen before the hotshot company Marvel entered its Golden Age in earnest. Marvel's star characters Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, et al, didn't hit shelves until the early '60s. While Marvel found its footing, Batman was starring in one of the best superhero movies ever made.
In cinemas, it took Marvel equally long to find a toehold. Films like "Superman" and "Batman" were overwhelmingly huge for decades, while Marvel had to be content with the success of "The Incredible Hulk" on television.

Marvel's "First Family" has had a rocky road to the big screen. Although the characters of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm have delighted Marvel comic book fans for generations, the "Fantastic Four" has never received the cinematic adaptation that they deserve. Unfortunately, these great characters have never been properly utilized. The "Fantastic Four" comics show what it's like to balance superhero responsibilities with familial duties.
Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and the Thing were brought to life in 1994's "The Fantastic Four," a low-budget film that never received a theatrical release. It wasn't until 2005 that they made it to the big screen when Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis were cast in Tim Story's "Fantastic Four." While the cast has strong chemistry, the film did not strike the right tone. 2007's "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" at...

The Hollywood archives are packed with movies that, for myriad reasons, have somehow slipped between the cracks, never to be heard from again.
No film sums up that unfortunate group more than 1994's The Fantastic Four, a property now getting rebooted for a second time with a lavish budget and inescapable marketing campaign. We look back at seven movies the industry (and the filmmakers behind them) wants to sweep under the carpet.
1. The Fantastic Four
Bernd Eichinger snapped up the film rights to Marvel's first family in the '80s for a pittance, and with the clock ticking down on his ownership he teamed up with B-movie specialist Roger Corman to produce a $1 million picture in less than a month. With a cast of unknowns and music video director Oley Sassone at the helm, The Fantastic Four ended up getting buried by Marvel in a bid for brand protection.

First it was “Jodorowsky’s Dune,” a documentary regarding raconteur Alejandro Jodorowsky’s failed adaptation of “Dune." Next was the forthcoming look at Tim Burton’s aborted take on Superman. Now another documentary focuses on the infamous Roger Corman-executive-produced rendition of “The Fantastic Four.” Directed by Marty Langford, “Doomed! The Untold Story Of Roger Corman’s ‘The Fantastic Four’” has rounded up interviews with all the key players of the 1994 D-movie, including the main cast alongside director Oley Sassone, editor Glenn Garland, Corman himself and Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, among many others, telling the story of an infamous production reportedly made to cling to franchise rights but that was never released theatrically and was initially only seen via bootlegs. The opening minutes of the documentary surprisingly don’t rely on making fun of the unreleased film but instead seems to be genuinely interested...

Superheroes might be big business in the movie world right now, but that hasn't always been the case. Despite the success of the early Christopher Reeve Superman films and Tim Burton's Batman outings, the genre was something of a poisoned chalice for filmmakers throughout the '80s and '90s. Buoyed by Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie, Hollywood mined the pages of DC and Marvel Comics in search of the next big thing. Unfortunately, small budgets and shaky scripts resulted in a string of flops ranging from Supergirl (1983) to Howard the Duck (1986). And yet, impossibly, things would get even worse for the comic book genre in the years that followed.

Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s he Fantastic Four.
Here’s the official press release:
In 1994, Roger Corman was tapped to produce this Marvel superhero story on a very small film budget. The film was ultimately shelved prior to distribution, but a VHS copy was mysteriously leaked and the movie became a darling of film bootleggers and, more recently, web pirates. Rumors and speculation surrounding the production have become as much a part of the lore as the film itself.

Interview conducted by and copyright Edward Gross Pyun's version of Captain America had its roots at Cannon Films and eventually followed co-owner of that company, Menahem Golan, to 21st Century Films. The license for the character soon to lapse unless the film went into production, the greenlight was given and the film was rushed through production -- much in the same way that Oley Sassone's Fantastic Four was under producer Roger Corman several years later. Retrovision: What was the genesis of your version of Captain America? Albert Pyun: Believe Captain America had been bouncing around the halls of Cannon the entire time I was there (1985-1988). Heard a lot about it and being a big CA fan as a kid, I was intrigued like any other comic book geek to know what was happening with it. i managed to get a copy of Stephen Tolkien's script which I heard was great.

It seems that the director was apparently unaware that producer Roger Corman was filming the $1 million flick just to keep the license to the franchise, which he would later sell to Fox for millions more. Since then, Sassone has gone on to direct a number of action television series (She Spies and Mutant X among them) and relatively low budget featues, but this conversation -- again, conducted in 1994 -- is strictly on the Ff, which starred Alex Hyde-White as Reed Richards, Rebecca Staab as Sue Storm, Jay Underwood as Johnny Storm and Michael Bailey Smith as Ben Grimm. Retrovision: Upon hearing that Roger Corman was doing the Fantastic Four, an eyebrow can't help but be raised. Oley Sassone: It's kind of cheesy, but the other partner in this is Constantine Film Development. That's who brought me into the project, because I didn't want to do a movie with Roger Corman.

Machete star Danny Trejo is in discussions to take a lead role in an indie biker-thriller Tarantula, movie that will be directed by The Fantastic Four helmer Oley Sassone.
On the other hand, Spartacus: Blood and Sand star, lovely Erin Cummings, is also in talks to join the project that will follow:
“…a woman (Cummings) who breaks away from a tight-knit biker gang to start a new life but finds that escape is not so easy.
Trejo plays the self-styled leader of the gang looking for the woman as well as revenge for his brother’s death.”
The budget of Tarantula is quite low, around $2.5m, and the script is being written by John Kersey.
Trejo is reportedly working with Robert Rodriguez on Machete sequel and prequel and we definitely expect to hear more information about the whole thing as soon as possible.
Tarantula will shoot in Detroit and John Kersey,...

Danny Trejo ("Machete") and Erin Cummings ("Bitch Slap") are in negotiations to star in the $2.5 million indie biker thriller “Tarantula" for Two of a Kind Productions says Heat Vision.
Cummings would play a woman who breaks away from a tight-knit biker gang to start a new life but finds that escape is not so easy.
Trejo would play the self-styled leader of the gang looking for the woman as well as revenge for his brother's death.
John Kersey penned the script and is producing alongside his wife Jennifer and John Bailey. Oley Sassone (TV's “Xena: Warrior Princess," "She Spies") directs and shooting kicks off late November in Detroit.

The performance of Machete has had a good effect on Danny Trejo. He's getting cast more often than ever right now. His latest resume addition should be Tarantula, an 'indie biker thriller' in which he'll co-star with Erin Cummings. (And in this case, it's the movie that is indie, not the bikers. Maybe an important point.) Oley Sassone will direct (and also directed the Corman throwaway Fantastic Four, uh-oh) from a script by John Kersey. The story follows "a woman (Cummings) who breaks away from a tight-knit biker gang to start a new life but finds that escape is not so easy. Trejo plays the self-styled leader of the gang looking for the woman as well as revenge for his brother's death." [THR] After the break, Jennifer Garner books a second role in two days, and many possible roles for Gemma Arterton. Earlier today I mentioned Better Living Through Chemistry, which...

Danny Trejo is currently garnering loads of attention for ”Machete”, which seems to be every bit as exciting, blood-thirsty and crowd-pleasing as this trailer suggests.
Trejo has plied his trade for years now as a bit-part (but always memorable) player in pretty much every film Robert Rodriguez has made, as well as Heat, Anaconda and Con Air (IMDb lists 195 acting roles for him!). Now, off the back of Machete’s buzz, producers now seem to think that Trejo can be a viable lead and he is now in discussions to take a lead role in Tarantula, an indie biker-thriller to be directed by Oley Sassone. Erin Cummings is in talks to appear alongside him.
Heat Vision give us the lowdown on the plot:-
The story centers on a woman (Cummings) who breaks away from a tight-knit biker gang to start a new life but finds that escape is not so easy.

I remember I was at some premier after party for some horror movie and I was chatting with Erin Cummings about her upcoming movie Bitch Slap. I know she was just networking to try and get me to write about the film (I never did. Movie is awful and I only made it 15 minutes in before turning it off.) but we talked about all kinds of stuff and have chatted a few times on Facebook, etc. She's a really cool chick who worked hard to get where she is so I'm happy to see she's gotten some success out of this crazy town.Danny Trejo I met during my time in Quentin. I was his training partner in the boxing program and we quickly became homies, overcoming both of our drug addiction issues with the prison's twelve-step program. We still had to occasionally shank fools but we had each other's backs.

You know what the world needs? The world needs more Danny Trejo. And you’re about to get another hearty dose. “Machete” was a lot of fun, and now Trejo and Erin Cummings (“Spartacus: Blood and Sand”, “Bitch Slap”) are negotiating to star in the low-budget biker thriller “Tarantula”. The story centers on a woman (Cummings) who breaks away from a tight-knit biker gang to start a new life but finds that escape is not so easy. Trejo plays the self-styled leader of the gang looking for the woman as well as revenge for his brother’s death. This sounds like another in the long line of badass roles that is Trejo’s resume. The part may not be much of a stretch, but Trejo plus revenge plus bikers still sounds good to me.
