The lackluster reception of the Fantastic Four series didn’t stop Fox from pursuing a Silver Surfer film, and Ninja Assassin scriber J. Michael Straczynski speaks about the once shelved project.
In a recent email, here’s what Straczynski writes:
“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.”
Starting fresh we see!
