What happens

The Fantastic Four is an unreleased superhero film based on the Marvel Comics characters, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The film features the team's origin and first battle with Doctor Doom. Executive-produced by low-budget specialist Roger Corman and Constantin Film president Bernd Eichinger, it was made to allow Eichinger to keep the Fantastic Four film rights. It was not officially released, although pirated copies have circulated since 1994, as well as various clips being available online. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
