Prepare for the Fantastic

With groundbreaking special effects, irreverent comedy and a hot cast of up-and-comers, the most viable action film of the summer stretched across all demographics and clobbered the competition with its $154 million box office bonfire. But on December 6th prepare to see the fantastic like never before when Fantastic Four flames onto DVD, VHS and PSP from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. The DVD will feature the first look of the highly anticipated theatrical release X3, an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour hosted by the entire cast, cast commentary, deleted scenes, a making-of Fantastic Four featurette and casting featurettes, rockin' music videos and trailers. Offered in both widescreen and pan & scan, the Fantastic Four DVD, VHS & PSP will be available for the suggested retail price of $29.98 U.S./$43.98 Canada.


The Fantastic Four, the newly formed super heroes each imbued with powers characteristic to their own strengths and weaknesses, are: Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd, King Arthur), whose idealistic ambition manifests itself with uncharted flexibility and stretching capabilities; Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba, Sin City), a strong female in a man's world who gains the ability to disappear and project powerful force fields; Johnny Storm/The Human Torch (Chris Evans, Cellular), whose hot-headedness gives him the power to encompass his own body in flames; and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Michael Chiklis, "The Shield"), whose strength of character transforms him into a super-strong rock-man.

Together, they must come to terms with their newfound fame and save the world from the evil machinations of the diabolical Dr. Doom (Julian McMahon, "Nip/Tuck").



Special Features:


  • An exclusive inside and first look at the highly anticipated X3 hosted by producer and Marvel guru Avi Arad

  • Exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the super-hero promotional world tour, hosted by the entire cast.

  • Deleted scenes

  • A making-of Fantastic Four featurette

  • Fox Movie Channel presents Casting Session and Making A Scene featurettes

  • Music videos "Everything Burns" and "Come On, Come In"

  • Theatrical trailer and much more


Synopsis:

After exposure to a radioactive cosmic storm, four astronauts become the most remarkable,
albeit dysfunctional, super heroes of all time: the Fantastic Four! Unfortunately, the mission's sponsor
has also been transformed—into a lethal, iron-fisted super-villain—setting the stage for an explosive
confrontation of epic proportions. Jessica Alba and Chris Evans head a sexy, star-powered cast in this
special effects-filled thrill ride that boasts nonstop action and irreverent fun from start to finish!
