There has been a lot of excitment going around since they announced that The Silver Surfer would be in the next Fantastic Four. I like it… but what makes me even happier is the fact that this means Galactus is going to be making an appearance.
Anyway, everyone has been speculating who was going to play the Surfer. Some people even tried to claim that Vin Diesel was going to play him. I never even reported that rumour because it was just too stupid to mention. But the good folks over at Moviehole have talked to the director, and it looks like NO ONE is going to be playing The Silver Surfer:
The film’s director, Tim Story, told me this morning that although The Silver Surfer is indeed in the movie, it won’t be Vin Diesel playing him.
“No truth to it”, Story said, when asked about the Diesel rumours. “The Surfer will be a new CGI design being developed especially for the movie. It’s going to be incredible”.
I know some people will be upset with this… but let’s be honest here folks. This is the only way you could really do The Silver Surfer. And once you see Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and how damn good Davy Jones look (It’s not a costume folks… there was NO make up or costume on him at all… only CGI) you’ll agree.
I think this could look amazing. Now… as long as the movie itself doesn’t suck ass.
