Silver Surfer Looking Shiney!

December 23, 2006 By S. K. Sloan 5 Comments

Here is your first photo of the Silver Surfer, thanks to USA Today, which had this to say about the slippery one:

With computer-generated imagery techniques similar to those used to create Gollum in The Lord of the Rings, the slippery Surfer, voiced by Doug Jones, “will look somewhere between gun metal and fluid metallics so you can see the body motion, the breathing, the muscle tone, the mood,” says Marvel Studios CEO Avi Arad.

The Surfer’s mood is key to the story. After striking a deal with the evil Galactus to save his planet, the once-human Surfer wreaks havoc throughout the cosmos. “He is a highly emotional being, trapped inside fluid metal,” Arad says.

Those who go to see Ben Stiller’s “Night at the Museum” this holiday weekend will be treated to the first official trailer of the Fantastic Four’s new film that will feature the Silver Surfer.

    Looks a little too Photoshopish to me. I can’t wait to see the trailer, but I’m not going to see Night at the Museum. So hopefully it hits the Net soon.

    I like Ben Stiller and I like his movies, Museum looks like a lot of fun and it has Ricky Gervais guest starring….and Zoolander was a funny film.

    WoooooooooooW

    Oh my Gaaaaard!

    Hush Michael Hush, it’s Xmas.

    The trailer is up at

    http://www.apple.com/trailers/fox/fantasticfourriseofthesilversurfer/large.html.

    I give a resounding “Meh.”

    I loved the Silver Surfer comics, but based on what they did with the first FF movie, it looks like they’ll probably totally mess this up. Even in the trailer the surfer looks like a shiny claymation thing; and they have him like teleporting through buildings and stuff while he flies. Huh? I dont recall that as being part of his arsenal of powers.

    Oh well.
