"Taxi", which was directed by Tim Story also and released by Fox, had both the theatrical and an extended version on the same disc. So there's a possibility it could happen here also.
Looking forward to the DVD, especially if it features an extended version of the film. (Hey, it ain't a classic, but it was fun and wholly undeserving of the trashing it took).
I've seen the Corman version and it's not that terrible. It's pretty much a cheesy tv movie with cheap effects, but with the FF spirit intact. Worth a look if you can find it...
Has there been any additional word on this possible release? I missed the movie in theaters and held off buying the original DVD because of the possibility of an SE later on.
I can't stand the new software's search function! I type in "Fantastic Four" and get just about every thread ever made. Useless. So, I have to use this thread. I've never seen FF, but I've been on an FF kick lately and want to see it now. Did I read that there was another version coming up sometime this year? I want to know all my options before I buy anything.
Hehe. Okay, I figured this thread hadn't been revisited since last year. I now see from the latest posts that there is no news. I guess I'll just buy the current one instead of waiting for something that may never come.

I just saw the widescreen EE on Deepdiscount, but it is giving a release date of 6/19. Wouldn't you know it, I want to give it as a birthday gift for 6/8.
that is the only place that I had seen it listed as june 19th.. it would be strange to release it after FF 2 is out in the theatres. I have not heard of change of release date for it. better to release it before.
