Silver Surfer film?

[ReallyCoolGuy]

Any news... ??

Please excuse (and direct) me if this is already posted somewhere... I surfed all over SHH and found nothing.

Is it on? Green lit? Speculation? Anything?

It sort of died after the awful second Fantastic Four movie.

Now Fox is claiming they have intentions to "reboot" Fantastic Four. Which sort of doesn't work for a Silver Surfer movie going off of the last bomb Fantastic Four movie.

Its 20th Century Fox, what do you expect?

I would love a surfer movie, along with some other cosmic's from marvel, just not from FOX, they ruin everything they touch.

"A F@#% Cloud?"

I didn't think that the movie as a whole was that bad. Yeah it was corny and not serious at all. But I was okay with it. They just really screwed up Galactus. I mean, why a cloud? They kinda show his image at the beginning of the movie, why did they deviate from this? They could have easily shown Galactus within the cloud at the end when SS confronts him. So yeah, talking about it makes me a little irritated. Then again, Fox produced the disappointment called "Xmen Origins: Wolverine".

dcHulk, it doesn't matter that you are OK with it. What matters is that Fox has pretty much made clear that they have no intentions with continuing telling a story in that series (First two FF movies) and now they want to wipe the slate clean again. That would essentially kill the first FF movie-verse.

Exactly Vile!




PS- I like Wolverine Origin. ..............................though the characters it uses in the movie kind of makes no sense. WTF is Gambit way older than Cyclops?!?!

I thought the Surfer movie was mainly just fan talk anayway?

Galactus was the cloud, its actually logical and consistant with the comics... unless thats just me being an uber geek.

(ie Galactus true form can not be percieved by most being so they see him as their mind would interpret something of such immense power and destruction.. in the Comics, its all about the superheros and the bright Spandex so people in the MU and us readers see him as a big supervillain wearing purple and pink armour...
the general movie public would interpret something so powerful and destructive as some kind of gigantic world destroying natural force like seen in disaster movies, such as a storm.)

I'm sure the designers for the movie didnt acknowledge this or think so in much depth when they came up with their design but saying his appearance was wrong is atually untrue lol

F4 Movies weren't as bad as people say at all. Sue+ reed were a bit... persaonlity challenged, but theyre not exactly oozing personality in the comics.

Human Torch and Thing were DEAD on. Their interaction was practically channeling the comics.

Doom was quite lame, but seemed like he was being built up over the course of the movies. In reality if someone just gets a scar and then goes "Damn u Reed!" and starts wearing full on medieval armour and creating a robot army, it would be a little bit mad. I love Doom and love his origin, but taken outside comics it is quite insane.

SS Movie would be VERY VERY difficult, because hes a cosmic character hes very hard to connect an audience with. Thats why hes great as a guest star, and great for selling merchandis, but his own series never seem to do as well as youd think they should.

Everytime Fox tries to reboot something it gets worse.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Any examples of a Fox reboot?

I really wish this film would happen. Surfer is one of my all time favs and you could really bring a lot of innovative ideas to the project. My dream film would be Silver Surfer:Requiem with Darron Aronfoski directing. He would make a beautiful Surfer film in my opinion.

Oh no a script was written and everything, $100 million more WW for FF2 and we would have had it this year IMO. Maybe its for the best we didnt with it being Fox though.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I see. Interesting.

If I was to pick a director I would go with some one who is really good at telling a story visually and is not afraid to steer it away from pop corn blockbuster. Someone like Ang Lee.

yeah they would of brought on Mark Steven Johnson ahhaha

As a fan of Daredevil DC I wouldn't mind that to be honest.

I mean for daredevil (ghost rider blew though) yeah but surfer would need a visionary director(no not Zack Snyder) but someone with artistic ability. It could bring a whole new surreal look to the superhero genre mixing in fantasy,sci fi, and comicbook.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Ahhh I see what you are saying. And I agree.

 

[luke1234]

yeah man heres a poster i made for this film hoping it would come out in 2010, thats not gonna happen.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Not showing up man.

Yes. The Omen. 'Nuff said.

What they did do was constantly lie about Galactus and his look for the movie when the cosmic storm news was leaked.

Then after the movie came out they promised we would see the TRUE Galactus in Silver Surfer and that's what they were saving it for.

Uh Oh, not happening.

[Ace of Knaves]

That is ****ing awesome Luke!

And I thought the new Omen was okay actually. And it isn't a comic book movie.

 

[TheVileOne]

Ace of Knaves,

Another POS Fox reboot:

The Day The Earth Stood Still.

You didn't ask for comic book movies, you asked about Fox reboot examples.

The original Omen and Day The Earth Stood Still were classics of their genres. The new ones were flops.

 

[luke1234]

thanks man, yeah the new omen i thought was pretty decent, the death scenes were pretty well done. Now the Day the Earth Stood Still was a really terrible film.
