OMG! Can it be true???


I'd heard rumours that this movie was coming out in June or July on Region 2 (United Kingdom and Australia), and I found a possible hit on Play.com.

Please see this page and set countdown for the 17th of June (you Americans may have to wait).

Set the counters going and destroy all crappy copies of FF-1994! It is coming to DVD!!!

Lets hope the trailer is on there, its good! Love to see some extras to, but I'm not a greedy man.

update may 8 2005:

i have tried to find out more information about the dvd release of the fantastic four but cannot find anything yet. i have emailed the company about it and have not got a reply yet. i am hoping this is true and i cannot see this movie just being burned up and 1 copy made of the master either. take Legend for instance. they had several masters of this made. if i hear anything i will post again ASAP if i get anymore on this. this would i think be true as a "silent release" overseas could be possible...anyone know who has the rights to this movie now?

reply

well here it is. the email message i got today from: www.fbo.com.au

i think the information we had is wrong as this is the animated version. The non animated version is coming out some time in the future, but we don’t have a date for it as yet.

i guess that says it all for now. unless we get really lucky.......

Talking to some people in LA at the LA Autograph Show (I promised not to use names - really!), I understand that SUPPOSEDLY Corman and Fox are releasing the movie to video stores the same week as the new movie to tie in and make some movie. Not gospel but it did sound interesting.

I would think that this movie would do nothing more then keep people from wanting to see the new one in theaters. Anyone that isnt a die hard FF4 fan might see this foul 1994 version of the film and be totally turned off by the entire story and appeal. IMO its unlikely or else its a terrible move on Fox's part.

PacoDeth has it correct. This will never be officially released. At the very least not until long after they have milked the merchandising out of the current version.
