 Silver surfer movie
Sci-Fi.com (http://www.scifi.com) reports that a movie based on Marvel's Silver Surfer comics will be in the works after production on "Fantastic Four" and "X-Men 3" is completed. The character of Silver Surfer was created in 1966 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and told the adventures of a metallic being who traveled through space on a board.
Marvel and Fox executives told SCI FI Wire that a planned Silver Surfer movie is in serious development as a project to be started after Fantastic Four and the next X-Men film, which begins production later this summer. "We're just starting, and we are very excited," Marvel film chief Avi Arad said in an interview at the Saturn Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. "We are finishing [Fantastic Four], and the next thing we'll go on our way to Silver Surfer."
Silver Surfer is based on the character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1966: a metallic being who travels through space on a sleek board.
Fox Filmed Entertainment Co-Chairman Tom Rothman told SCI FI Wire that one crucial element remains to be worked out: how to portray the silvery alien. "I think the tricky thing on Silver Surfer, which hasn't been resolved yet, is the nature of the Surfer and to what extent digital work is used and to what extent it isn't," Rothman said in a separate interview. "And that's the fundamental difficult decision. Obviously, in The Hulk, they went one way [a computer-generated character]. And in the question of [Fantastic Four's] The Thing, we went a different way [putting actor Michael Chiklis in a rubber suit]. ... The digital component is the fundamental component that needs to be resolved, but it's a project that we're very very high on."
