After it was announced that a big production would take place on the history of Troy, the Turkish government and Ministry of Culture and Tourism had contacted with the production suggesting the filming should be done in Canakkale, Turkey, where the real Troy was.

b.
Several moments in the movie take their visual cues from
Jack Kirby
s work in the very first issue of Fantastic Four: The cosmic storm is depicted with the same bullet-shaped rays from the origin. Ben possesses the lumpy craggy face from his earlier appearance rather than his more familiar beetle-brow. Johnny races against a missile like he does in the opening act of the comic. Johnnys flame-form is a smoldering pillar of fire like it was in the earlier comics rather than the more familiar burning man look.

Various sources associated with the production recalled in later interviews that there was also a filmed scene of

Phoebe Cates
