‘Silver Surfer’ Spin-Off?

I don’t know about this, maybe they should stop with the Fantastic Four movies, I was so psyched to see these movies when they came out and ended up being a major disappointment! Geeks, what do you have to say about the past FF movies and what may happen in the near future?

Writer J Michael Straczynski (Changeling, Ninja Assassin, “Babylon 5”) spoke to AMCtv about the possible Silver Surfer spin-off movie, revealing that the script is in place, but whether it gets used is still unknown.

“Whether or not it ever gets made I don’t know because they were kind of disappointed in how Fantastic Four 2 did,” said Straczynski. “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 went on to explain that the possible movie would pick up right after the end of “Fantastic Four 2.” “I was writing it as FF2 was about to come out, and the theory was for it 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,” he said. “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.

“In the script I come up with some ways to visualize him [Galactus] 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.“
