'Fantastic Four 3' Gets Grimmer and Grimmer
September 20, 2008 02:09:41Hope for the development of "Fantastic Four 3" has once again being put out. Taking his turn to comment on the possibility of "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" sequel being materialized, Michael Chiklis pointed out even further to MTV News suggesting that the movie project may not see the light after all.
"No one's really given it the kibosh to me, but the silence has been deafening. The fact that no one's mentioned it or asked a question says that, more than likely, that's not going to happen," he noted. "I know that both of them were tremendously successful from a box office standpoint, but we've all moved on into other areas and other films."

Writer Discusses About Possible 'Silver Surfer' Film
June 20, 2008 04:06:20Right on the heel of "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" release in June 2007, it was reported that J. Michael Straczynski, the "Babylon 5" creator, had finished the scribbling for the action fantasy movie spin-off. But, about a year after the announcement was made, words about the stand alone "Silver Surfer" movie has gone astray. That is until Straczynski opens up about it recently.
Talking to AMCtv.com, the screenwriter for Clint Eastwood's "Changeling" admitted that there is hesitation to move on with the project given that "Rise of The Silver Surfer" has been considered to be a disappointment. "It was one of those weird synchronicities. Whether or not it ever gets made I don't know because they were kind of disappointed in how Fantastic Four 2 did," said the 53-year-old. "And given how this will be a subset of FF2 in terms of the marketing strategy, I think there is hesitation there about putting it forward. The script is pretty good, I like it, but whether or not it goes into production, I have no idea."

No 'Fantastic Four 3' in the Making?
March 22, 2008 01:03:07Though earlier reports speculated that a follow-up installment to the superhero flick sequel "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" might be in the works, it was now claimed that 'Fantastic Four 3' may not be made anytime soon.

To the movie network, the depicter of Johnny Storm who is also known as The Human Torch insisted that the third film installment for the 20th Century Fox's action film won't be pursued. "I'm pretty sure we won't do [another] one," said the 26-year-old actor. "I'm assuming that one is a closed book...It takes up a lot of time. It's a big commitment. I'm happy with walking away." He then gave his reasons stating that if there would be a third film, all of the actors involved would have known about it earlier.

That film takes a lot of prep, a good six months of prep and about six months to shoot. With the strike, I think, maybe it's put on hold."

Weekend North American Box Office of June 28 - July 1, 2007
July 02, 2007 01:07:35Taking last week baton as the first runner of domestic box office weekend is "Ratatouille". Racking in $47,227,000, the Pixar production places itself high above predicted runner this week, "Live Free or Die Hard". While the action movie has stolen an early start, it fails to beat the "mouse" and can only be satisfied getting the runner up post. The fourth installment of Die Hard closes down to $33,150,000.
Despite the #1 slot, "Ratatouille" is still a far reach to Pixar's highest grossing flick. For Bruce Willis meanwhile, it maybe is a personal satisfaction after all with his charm as John McClane still 'kicking'. Former champion "Evan Almighty" drops two places to #3 with total earning less than half of last week at $15,089,000. It is only a one third run for the Steve Carell comedy to fill in the budget of $175 mill.

Being the follow-up to 2003's "Bruce Almighty", the PG-rated flick gloriously strives to score a hefty $32.1 million in its first three-day run to thereby claim the top position on the chart ended June 24, 2007, winning over other new release of "1408."

Weekend North American Box Office of June 15-17, 2007
June 18, 2007 11:06:04With the continuous flow of movie sequels hitting the theaters, sure it is rather unsurprising to see one taking over after another for the top place on the box office battle, and coming out as the latest in the band is "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer", the 20th Century Fox's follow-up to its 2005 "Fantastic Four."
Debuting at $58.1 million in ticket sales, the superhero flick triumphantly soars to secure the No. 1 title in the competition as the number proves far bigger than the $19.7 million booty that last week's champ "Ocean's Thirteen" has garnered, thereby forcing it to go one notch to the second position this time.

Dispute Raises Over "Silver Surfer" Coin
May 28, 2007 11:05:45Intending to create an unusual marketing on its upcoming superhero flick "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer", 20th Century Fox ends up causing a stir instead.
The company has collaborated with private corporation Franklin Mint to alter 40,000 U.S. quarters to feature an image of the Silver Surfer on the tails side, but the action in turn did not please the U.S. Mint as the government agent learned about it last week. The latter even considered that the studio and the Franklin Mint were breaking the law since it is illegal to turn a coin into an advertising vehicle.

Reader's Reviews
"What is Tim Story thinking really", they should of never let go of Doug Jones, his voice is 100 times better than Fishburne, no offense Fishburne is a good actor/performer but his voice does not fit The Silver Surfer, this was a bad call!. I am really upset, I am a big fan of the Fantastic Four & The Silver Surfer and I think that Fishburne's voice is to strong & to deep, it just doesn't sound right, I respect Mr. Fishburne, I have enjoyed his movies and I will support him in any movie/film, I just think he is not the adequet voice for The Silver Surfer.....as a matter a fact I think he would play a Great voice as Galactus, that would be a Brilliant idea, do you think anyone can do something about this? maybe they should let the Fans Vote on who they rather hear as the voice for The Silver Surfer...
