The Fantastic Four

In an interview with Kevin Smith, Stan Lee said that, unbeknownst to its cast and crew, this movie was never intended to be released. It was made only because the studio that owned the rights to make a Fantastic Four movie would have lost those rights if production didn't start by a certain date. Producers Bernd Eichinger and Roger Corman have both denied this. Corman said he was under contract to release it, and Eichinger said the film was never released because Marvel Studios founder Avi Arad bought it and ordered all copies destroyed for fear of the low-budget project cheapening the brand. Arad confirmed this in 2002, adding that he had been unaware of an upcoming Fantastic Four film until a fan mentioned it to him after noticing Arad's Fantastic Four shirt. Arad has never seen the film.
