DOUG JONE as SILVER SURFER is confirmed!!!

[Hunter Rider]

There's WETA involved too, remember. There's a lot more to CG than mere mo-cap or green-screen leotard stuff. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out, and I'm sure - if Fox have any gumption - that the DVD extras will be better than on F4 and we'll get lots of decent behind-the-scenes stuff.

Seems we have an answer from Kevin Feige

[Special-effects house] Weta is developing a new process, the way they did for Gollum and Kong, to bring the Silver Surfer to life. We're going to use an actor for reference on set, and then it's going to be turned into what I hope is one of the most spectacular CGI effects anyone has ever seen."

Sigh. No mo-cap, no green-screen, no ref-cap. Period. His description leaves out major essential info.

he's just a reference point for the actors. In Jurassic Park they used a beach ball or something like that.
