Writer J. Michael Straczynski clarifies his remarks about the Silver Surfer movie project.
Many online movie news sites took screenwriter J. Michael Straczynski's recent statements about Fantastic Four movies to mean that the Silver Surfer project was dead. Well, today Straczynski clarified his statements about Silver Surfer, saying that Fox's proposed spin-off is still very much alive and in active development:
Guys…guys…GUYS…whoa, slow down, back the bus up a second.
When I was asked about the Silver Surfer script, I responded about the one I’d written around the time that FF2 was launched, and was designed to pick up where that one left off.
When FF2 didn’t do as well as hoped for, that script was set aside, but that has NOTHING to do with the Silver Surfer script that is NOW under development at Fox with other folks. As far as I know, that is proceeding apace. So the hysteria that’s gripped the nets about “ohmygod the Surfer movie is dead!” is not correct, as I was again referring to only that one specific script tied into FF2, NOT what’s being done now.
