Da Cap'n 2099 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 'Silver Surfer' Movie Reportedly In The Works By JAMIE LOVETT - February 27, 2018 The Silver Surfer may soon ride the cosmic skyways into movie theaters once again. A report from The Hollywood Reportersuggests that 20th Century Fox is pushing ahead with developing a Silver Surfer movie. The film is being developed from a treatment by Brian K. Vaughan, the creator of Marvel’s Runaways and writer of other hit comics including Saga, Paper Girls, and Y: The Last Man. The Silver Surfer movie is reportedly one of several “secret” projects that 20th Century Fox is working on despite the looming merger with Walt Disney. "We are going 100 miles per hour," one executive involved told THR. 20th Century Fox already has several Marvel movies on its film schedule. Deadpool 2 will release in May and X-Men: Dark Phoenix will follow in November. The New Mutants was originally scheduled for release in April but has since been pushed by to 2019 for extensive reshoots. Channing Tatum’s Gambit movie is still in development but once again searching for a director after Gore Verbinski’s exit. The Deadpool spinoff X-Force is reportedly looking to begin filming in October. There have also been reports that former X-Men comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis is working with Tim Miller, the director of the first Deadpool, to develop a Kitty Pryde solo movie. James Franco and X-Men: Dark Phoenix writer/director/producer Simon Kinberg were reportedly working together on a Multiple Man movie. Legion creator Noah Hawley is developing a Doctor Doom spinoff move. Other rumors suggested that Fox was looking to reboot the Fantastic Four film series once again, this time with a focus on the Richards’ children. The Silver Surfer made his film debut in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer in 2000, where he was played by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne. Fox hired J. Michael Straczynski to pen the script for a Silver Surfer spinoff film, but after the poor reception for Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and a disappointing box office performance nothing ever came out of the idea. It's unclear how Disney’s purchase of 20th Century Fox would affect these “secret” plans for a Silver Surfer movie. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 i'm with axels here, i love BKV & would watch this, but are the studios just pitching stuff in hopes that when the deal's finalized, they'll have some influence on the product? we're coming off runaways, was hoping Y: the last man (as a show) would be off the ground first, but i'm happy to see dude get his name on more stuff, even if it might get stuck in development hell.

'Rise of the Silver Surfer' came out in 2007. Um, all cool news - I guess...but I really don't understand the point. Is Disney going to keep '20th Century' going as...a separate studio? Sony got to do Venom - but it's being shoved into the MCU. Disney's already announced Deadpool and the X-Men are going to be formally added into the MCU. Maybe part of Fox's deal w/ Disney was - Fox being able to finish whatever films they had in 'pre-production'...and Fox being able to keep a significant portion of the returns? I really don't get these announcements. You'd think Disney would want full control of what they now own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 i don't think the details of the deal are quite final yet; just today, comcast was looking to increase their bid for sky TV & such, which if i read correctly, means renegotiation on the final figures might need to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 What if Fox and Marvel did a "joint" thing ala Sony and Spider-Man: Homecoming? That'll mean in the MCU proper. THAT'LL MEAN SURFER INTRO IN INFINITY WAR! OMG!! EEEEEEEEE!!!! Fantastic Four in Avengers 4 confirmed, guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hasnt Feige said he has a bunch of contingencies for this sorta thing? You're probably more right than you think Panch. I bet we hear Wanda called a "mutant" before long too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
