First Look At the Silver Surfer??!

[Malus]

Looks very alien like..kinda scary....

But it looks great.

I think so, too.
As the central nemesis of this film, the Silver Surfer needs to be as scary (and alien) as possible. That cold, intimidating veneer shouldn't crack until well into the film.

 

[Bat Brain]

Wow, I must say I'm impressed. The SS design looks great

 

[explode7]

Looks like there're finally doing the F4 movie justice Now we'll see all those people who were dissing F4 coming to these boards begging for forgive ness when this baby comes out.

 

[lordofthenerds]

Does look "alien-ish"

Why yes...yes he does...

 

[Caliber]

That design looks perfect. He looks alien enough but yet has some humanity.

 

[coreymb16]

I like the look, but it kinda look like he is painted in silver and I know Weta didn't do this because it doesn't look like something that Weta would do. It need to be epic not shallow. looks good for an action figure.

 

[Jasmine]

That looks great.

 

[The_Dark_Knight]

If this is the Surfers look, I will be pleased =]

 

[MJB]

That's exactly what the close-minded network suits said about Spock.
........wh00ps.



NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
What IS it with this movie where people want to make it less and less and less fantastic, escapist, other-worldly fantastic and C.O.O.L. ?!?

Please Father God Lord Jesus, do not let any Fox-Monsters feel like MJB.


Also, urm....the point is not to make the Silver Surfer a huge Slurpee flavor/Cereal Box/Action Figure/Baby Shampoo Mogul.
And holy jeez, again with this "emotional connection" stuff.

Are people aware that some of the most emotional moments involved some of the most beloved characters of all time, i.e. Darth Vader, C-3PO, and R2-D2?!?!?, a garbage can with wheels who beeps like a baby monkey???

A talented writer and director can make you cry with a chair and a book and a worm...the Silver Surfer (you know, that ALIEN from the comics?) looking "alien" is not a problem in any way.

I guess you're right. Lord knows as much as I'm against changes, why oh why do I fell this is one time where it could work. Anyway I see your point and your fear. FOX JUST LET THE SS BE HIMSELF!!!

 

[MJB]

People lets not get ahead of ourselves. This look hasn't been confirmed as the look of the SS.

 

[homestarrunner]

thats looks pretty spot on ..

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

He hears through his nose. *shrug*

 

[Casius--J]

i'd be very happy if the surfer looked like that in the film, and yes he does look a lot like doug jones.

 

[Storm22]

Looks cool! Are we sure yet if that's the official design?

 

[Retroman]

Yeah, thats what i tried to make clear in my post. But you can't help but get excited when seeing something like that.t:

Its not the final design according Hellmistress who has close ties with Doug Jones.But thats not to say it isn't an early concept and a very good one at that. Like i said its hidden on his site so maybe we weren't intended to see it?

 

[sassycat]

cool, it reminds me of this..

david bowie, "the man who fell to earth".

I was thinking the same thing

 

[Retroman]

Wow, they do look alike. Nice observation Punitore.

 

[Cypher]

Awesome! I would be so thrilled if the Surfer looks like this in the Movie

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Will he have silver boxers as well?

 

[explode7]

What kinda ******ed question is that? The surfer dont wear boxers.

 

[bdpaco]

Will he have silver boxers as well?

please... lord, dont let them put boxers on him...
but i do wonder what the plan is with the Surfers lower half...in todays PC world i am sure there wont be any full body close ups..cant be showing any alien butt on the big screen can we...lol

 

[3 Dev Adam]

What kinda ******ed question is that? The surfer dont wear boxers.

Of course he does.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Double post. I think.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

Exactly. It would be unwise for us to get our hopes up at this point in the game. In 3 weeks or less we might have a solid understanding of what to expect.

All we really know is Rothman said the Surfer will be very faithful to the original, and Fox is sparing no expense on the SPX. Why they hired WETA, to do the effects. t:
