Possible movement on Silver Surfer movie?

[Jan]

Fox is also working on "Silver Surfer," a character which appeared in Fox's "Fantastic Four" sequel, and has announced plans to reboot the ôFantastic Fourö movies.

I don't know how reliable this source is.

So of course, I posted a question about the new movement on Silver Surfer to the moderated newsgroup and JMS answered:

Nope. My guess is that since my draft was closely tied into FF2,
which is ancient now, they've struck off in a different direction.

Too bad. I really loved what he did with "Requiem".

Hmmmm, given that Fox is rebooting their Fantastic Four franchise, I would guess that they're probably shelving the JMS script in favor of a new approach.
