Marvel film chief Avi Arad and Fox Filmed Entertainment Co-Chairman Tom Rothman told SCI FI Wire of the future plans for the Silver Surfer film.
"We're just starting, and we are very excited," Marvel film chief Avi Arad said in an interview at the Saturn Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. "We are finishing [Fantastic Four], and the next thing we'll go on our way to Silver Surfer."
Fox Filmed Entertainment Co-Chairman Tom Rothman;
"I think the tricky thing on Silver Surfer, which hasn't been resolved yet, is the nature of the Surfer and to what extent digital work is used and to what extent it isn't," Rothman said in a separate interview. "And that's the fundamental difficult decision. Obviously, in The Hulk, they went one way [a computer-generated character]. And in the question of [Fantastic Four's] The Thing, we went a different way [putting actor Michael Chiklis in a rubber suit]. ... The digital component is the fundamental component that needs to be resolved, but it's a project that we're very very high on."
