Meh, Proyas has become a sell-out since I Robot. The guy is very talented, I love The Crow and Dark City, but he needs to make his own movies, not do mediocre commercial blockbusters.

Proyas is the man. I-Robot, not that great, but it could have been worse and it was actually decent under the talented Alex. Regardless, The Crow and Dark City has his place assured as a great diretor. If he does this I hope he takes it to a whole new level above I-Robot quality. And if he doesn’t do this please direct something soon!!

So I guess it will be an origin story and they will show Galactus. Sounds good with Proyas attached, but probably not true. We’ll see.

Now, please no more raping of the FF name, Fox.

I think a SS movie could be good, New writer and another director might turn this into a fine film. But i think it would make more sense that Proyas would direct Thor or Captain America, or maybe Marvel came to their senses and Goyer won’t direct Magneto. Seriously, the guy is a great writer but no a good director

Uh, Gio…The Silver Surfer DID talk in ‘FF2′…but had about as many lines as Arnie in the first Terminator.

As for Proyas, it is an interesting choice, but there is one major hurdle to get over, and that is the FF films in all thier well intended plot-holed family friendly goofiness…if you know what I mean.

I’d watch Proyas direct a piece of bread.
If they have to do a Surfer-movie, they should at least get an interesting director. Who would you prefer? Tim Story? Shawn Levy?
My wettest geek dream would be a Surfer-Movie directed by James Cameron. Just imagine what he would do with it.

I m all for this, i love the crow and i thought Dark city was great, i-robot i enjoyed but was nothing special but i was still impressed how he handled it, i think proyos can make silver surfer cool again, love to see all his intergalictic battles and maybe even galactus himself if its an orgin story. Silver surfer has some fantastic setting i just hope its not set on earth but if proyos does do it i ll be pumped for this
