Jessica Alba may be a fine piece of ass, but she is totally wrong for this film, as is the rest of the cast.

There're some stills here [superherohype.com]. Mr Fantastic at least looks too young, he should be mid 30s at least, he was a patriarchal figure. And I never recognised Jessica as a blonde....

The Fantastic Four was done years ago already. It was so horrifically awful though that it was never released. The rumour is that the studio only made it so they could keep the rights to make it at a later date. The power of the internet brought that film to my computer when I accidentally used a Bit Torrent. I can inform you that it was terrible and that I loved it for that reason alone.

It was actually released to video, but then the video was pulled.

You can still find copies at gaming conventions.

All likely to be illegal, mind you, but that doesn't stop copies from being sold.

It certainly bears mentioning

That the Serenity trailer will be airing in this movie also.

Re:It certainly bears mentioning

[jordand]

Not anymore. Since Serenity was pushed back to September, the trailer will be attached to The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy in May, which seems to me a much better deal. When is a proper trailer for Hitchhiker's coming out, anyway?

I remembered seeing a preview for a Fantastic Four movie on a VHS many years ago, it looked terrible, and I never heard anything more of it. It apparently turns out that a movie was made in 1994 [imdb.com] and, I guess, never actually released. IMDB (the link) provides some insight into why it wasn't, and what the goal was originally. So, Hollywood will not only steal your childhood and market it to you again later on, it will also steal your childhood for the sake of marketting it to itself! Hooray for Earth!

Re:What a great web site

Then the inability to right-click on the ads to do "block images from this server" in Mozilla.

Set up a bookmark (e.g. "Give me my button back!") with the content: "javascript:void(document.oncontextmenu=null)". You can click this to unbork such shenanigans.

Can't take cradit for it, someone else told me about it. But it's cool.
