Summary

In 1994, Roger Corman rushed to start the production of The Fantastic Four -- an adaptation of Marvel's quartet of superpowered beings who (somewhat) represented the four elements of earth (The Thing), Air (Invisible Girl), Fire (The Human Torch) and water (Mr. Fantastic).

The documentary Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman's the Fantastic Four tells the story of the making of -- and ultimate fate of -- the 1995 film.

Interviews include writer/director Marty Langford, actor Carl Ciarfalio, and embedded journalist Chris Gore.
