AMC's SciFi Scanner blog talked to J. Michael Straczynski about his script for the Silver Surfer spin-off that Fox was planning after Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

"Whether or not it ever gets made I don't know because they were kind of disappointed in how 'Fantastic Four 2' did," Straczynski said. "And given how this will be a subset of FF2 in terms of the marketing strategy, I think there is hesitation there about putting it forward. The script is pretty good, I like it, but whether or not it goes into production, I have no idea."

He added that the movie was to "pick up literally the next frame after the FF2 movie, where you find out why Silver Surfer was there and what happened to him. We would have seen Galactus, his home world, what happened and him trying to get back there, because now that he's betrayed Galactus, he's concerned his home world might be in jeopardy."

Asked to explain how we would see Galactus, he said, "In the script I come up with some ways to visualize him that are true to the original, but take it one step further using the current CGI technology that we have. So we would have seen him as a character on numerous occasions in the second movie, not inconsistent with the first distant shot of him in that that's just a way of concealing who and what he really is. Believe me, he would be not at all silly looking."

Why bother... ROTSS was so aweful I just have no hope for this one at all.

I also have my reservations on a superhero movie with no human characters. I'd rather just have FF3.

"I seek faith in the unfaithful just as you seek peace and atonement in a war-torn world."

"The common wit is not fair to middling."

"Laugh at me all you want, one day you'll all be kissing my feet."

"Young age is no excuse for poor taste."

"To be a prep is to be blissfully unaware of one's own mediocrity."

It would take days for me to lay out how futile it would be to try this based on how it was loused up before. Except for the way the Surfer looked there was nothing right about it. They started talking about this movie years ago, and somehow I knew once Tim Story and and crew got their rat claws into this, that it would be the end of the line for SS.

I actually like FF:ROTSS better than all the spiderman man movies combined. It was a huge suprise to me seeing how good the movie was.

Then agin, i did have extremely low expectations, and SM movies high expectations but was let down everytime.

I think some parst of FF: ROTSS were great but some things like too much cheesy joking, the lack of galactus an any real sense of the planet is dying along with the annoying let's get married storyline kills it. They should've just gotten married in between 1 and 2.

I think with a combination movie story of surfer's past (origin) and present we could see a great film. Show the actual galactus and throw in surfer fighitng some of his heralds like terrax, air-walker and firelord and you've got a good action movie. This could be just as successful as Iron Man if people would stick to the script and and not ruin things that made the fans love them by giving us their vision. Save the testing for new spins on characters and storylines for the comics.

All I can say is that it's a damn shame your not writing it, b- jack. Cause what your suggesting WOULD be great!
