Back This! – May 2013
21 hours ago | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Welcome to the first edition of a new monthly feature here on Nerdly – Back This! – where we take a look at some of the cool content taking the crowdfunding route on sites such as Indiegogo, Sponsume and Kickstarter. In this edition we’re taking a look at two very different films. The first is a British homage to 80s slasher flicks and the second is a Us documentary about a “lost” superhero movie…
If you’d like us to consider your project to feature in a future edition of Back This!, make sure to drop us a line.
Started by writer/director Steven Davis, the Kickstarter campaign for Christmas Slay is almost at fruition with, as of writing, only ten days to go in the campaign. Looking for £7000 to fund a two-week shoot in Bulgaria (standing in for the snowy mountains of Scotland), Davis’ film promises to be »

Lost 'Fantastic Four' film documentary seeks crowdfunding
23 hours ago | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
A documentary about a lost Fantastic Four film has launched a crowdfunding campaign.
Doomed! The Untold Story of Roger Corman's The Fantastic Four will chart the history of the 1994 movie that was made but never released.
The film will investigate the mystery of the movie that has only been seen by fans because of a leaked VHS.
Doomed! will mark the 20th anniversary of Corman's small-budget film with interviews with the cast and crew, seeking to shed light on the reasons why the project was shelved.
Chronicle director Josh Trank is currently working on a reboot of Marvel Comics' oldest property for 20th Century Fox, following the release of two previous films in 2005 and 2007.
The filmmakers have set a $52,000 goal on Indiegogo for the Doomed! campaign, which will close on June 20.

Blu Review: Captain America: Collector's Edition
23 hours ago | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Before 1998's Blade, Marvel Comics couldn't seem to catch a break when it came to movie versions of their different properties. In the wake of Iron Man 3 and The Avengers, I know that's very hard to believe. There was a serial for Captain America released in 1944 through Republic Pictures. George Lucas executive produced a live-action adaptation of Howard the Duck in 1986.
The next few years up to Wesley Snipes' take on the legendary vampire slayer were plagued with low-budget versions of the comic book publisher's characters. Dolph Lundgren's The Punisher couldn't even muster a theatrical release in the U.S. Roger Corman's The Fantastic Four never officially saw the light of day anywhere, although bootleg copies float around.
21st Century Film Corporation released Captain America straight to video in the middle of those two disasters. For many years, the movie was hard to get a hold »

Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s The Fantastic Four Begins Pre-Production
21 May 2013 11:59 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s The Fantastic Four, has entered into pre-production with a start of principal photography scheduled for July, 2013. The film will shed new light on the mysterious circumstances surrounding this legendary cult classic and "lost" Roger Corman film, The Fantastic Four. In 1994, Roger Corman was tapped to produce this Marvel superhero story on a very small film budget. The film was ultimately shelved prior to distribution, but a VHS copy was mysteriously leaked and the movie became a darling of film bootleggers and, more recently, web pirates. Rumors and speculation surrounding the production have become as much a part of the lore as the film itself. Next year marks the 20th anniversary of Roger Corman's edition of The Fantastic Four and finally, all of the secrets, stories and legal shenanigans that have kept this a ‘lost’ film will be revealed through in-depth, »

Chronicle's Michael B. Jordan to play the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four?
2 May 2013 2:42 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
After making his feature film debut with the low-budget super-powers hit Chronicle, director Josh Trank is now turning his attention to Marvel's First Family for 20th Century Fox's The Fantastic Four. According to The Wrap, the reboot could see Trank reuniting with Chronicle star Michael B. Jordan, who has apparently met with the studio several times about taking on the role of Johnny Storm, a.k.a. the Human Torch.
First breaking on to the scene via the small screen in The Wire and Friday Night Lights, Jordan has enjoyed a number of feature film roles lately, including Red Tails, Chronicle and the upcoming indie drama Fruitvale Station. He is also due to lend his voice to the DC Comics superhero Cyborg in Warner Bros.' upcoming animated movie Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox.

Fantastic Four Gets Seth Grahame-Smith Rewrite
26 February 2013 3:55 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Just days after producer Matthew Vaughn boarded Fox's Fantastic Four reboot, the project is getting a new writer. Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) has signed on to polish the most recent script written by Jeremy Slater.
The Fantastic Four Marvel comic books debuted in 1961, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, which featured Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Sue Storm (The Invisible Girl), her brother Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (The Thing). The quartet were exposed to high levels of radiation during an outer space mission which left them all with amazing abilities. Mr. Fantastic has the ability to infinitely stretch his body, The Invisible Girl can both make herself invisible and create energy shields, The Human Torch controls fire, and The Thing has super-human strength, although it came at the price of a radical disfigurement.
Fox's new rendition is said to have a more grounded, sci-fi »

Stan Lee On Marvel Movie Adaptations
5 February 2013 8:51 AM, PST | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
Writer Stan Lee, co-creator of hundreds of Marvel characters including "Spider-Man", "Iron Man", "Thor", "Ant-Man", "Daredevil", "The Fantastic Four", "Doctor Strange" and "Hulk", was asked which of all the characters in the Marvel Comics Universe, are most deserving of a live-action big screen treatment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Lee said that the "Black Panther" and "The Inhumans" would be among his top picks.
Created with illustrator Jack Kirby for Marvel's "Fantastic Four" #45 (December 1965), the origin of "The Inhumans" begins millions of years ago, at the beginning of the alien 'Kree'-'Skrull' war.
The Kree set up a monitoring station on the planet Uranus, observing sentient life on Earth with genetic potential, followed by experimentation on primitive homo sapiens by splicing 'Eternals' DNA into 'Cro-Magnons'.
Their goal was to investigate ways of circumventing their own evolutionary stagnation, while creating a powerful mutant strain of soldiers for protection against the Skrulls.
