Quote:
In a new interview with It's Just Movies, Jones revealed that he is still signed to reprise the Silver Surfer role.Fox has long been planning a spin-off on the cosmic character, whose real name is Norrin Radd, and recently announced a reboot of the Fantastic Four series, which will be penned by Michael Green.doug_jones.jpgJones (pictured) said: "There are still a couple of years left on their option for two more pictures with me, as a three-picture deal is quite standard when starting a franchise-potential character."But with all the reboot talk of the Fantastic Four, I have no idea where that leaves the Silver Surfer end of things. I would love to revisit this character. I do love Norrin Radd."

“There’s been lots of speculation. I wouldn’t want to ruin anything. Guillermo creates things with me in mind and he’s got a better image of what I can do than I do,” [...] “However, there might be an elf king, father of Legolas kind of character that I would love.”

Quote:
He also addressed reports that he has been cast in Warner Bros superhero movie Green Lantern: "I did hear such a rumour a couple of months ago, but no one has called me regarding this one yet. But if there's a character I'm right for, I'd be quite interested to hear about it."

The Hobbit project needs to get moving, and fast. I understand PJ would want to get away and do some other things, and of course, iron out contractual issues w/ all those involved. But Ian McKellan isn't getting any younger, nor is Christopher Lee. From the sounds of it, both their characters ( Gandalf and Saruman ) are expected to figure greatly in the expanded version of The Hobbit / The White Council idea, which has been floated, in making two movies, not just the one.

The Hobbit is on track for shooting in the spring, which is when they've always said they would start. And PJ isn't directing it.

And yeah, the Surfer movie is toast. J. Michael Straczynski wrote a script, Alex Proyas was attached to direct, but when FF2 underperformed, it got axed. Now, with them rebooting FF, there's no way they'll make a follow up to the previous incarnation. If there is a Surfer movie, it'll be years away, and in a new form.

I knew Del Toro, and not PJ, was directing The Hobbit,but isn't PJ still involved ?

And what's this of rebooting Fantastic Four ? Is this like the 'remake' of Hulk ? 1st I've heard of that.

PJ is still producing, yes. But Spring '10 has always been the projected start date. They're right on schedule.

As for an FF reboot - this came out a few weeks ago, pretty much literally the day after the Disney/Marvel purchase was announced. The Marvel properties that are not currently with Marvel (Spider-Man, X-Men, FF, Ghost Rider, etc) are all licensed with deals that say those other studios only get to keep the rights as long as they make films on a regular basis.

So, as soon as Disney bought the company, Fox announced reboots of FF and Daredevil, and started pushing harder on X-Men related films (Wolverine 2, X-Men 4 and First Class). Sony announced a Ghost Rider sequel, Spider-Man 5&6 (4 was already in development at the time) and Venom.

Oh, and just since Green Lantern is part of the subject, but is getting short shrift in the thread - Jackie Earl Haley looks set to play the villain, Sinestro. And the film looks to be shooting in New Orleans, after fluctuating exchange rates made original locations in Australia too expensive.

Green Lantern Flying To New Orleans

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/SuperGamer/news/?a=11210

Kevin Murphy, manager of studio operations at the facility had this to say:

"The rumours are correct, we are working out the details, and we have a nonrefundable contract to rent stage space to the production."

"It would be: paint dries on one day, they're moving in the next," he told The Times-Picayune. "It's an awesome opportunity."

The revelation follows recent confirmation that production for the Green Lantern movie is moving out of Sydney because of the strengthening Australian dollar adding $20million to the budget.

Rumored also was locations of Canada and Mexico were under consideration.

Production crews would move into the New Orleans facility in December and begin building the sets. Filming would then start in March and continue into July or August 2010.

Nothings been confirmed as yet, but other locations would also be used for shooting too. Ryan Reynolds of course has been confirmed in the title role as Hal Jordan but no other cast members as yet have been named.

On a special and interesting note, Warner Brothers also filmed the DC adaptation of Jonah Hex in New Orleans too, with Josh Brolin playing the lead role of the hard faced Civil War-era gunslinger cowboy, with Megan Fox and John Malkovich. This could be a very good reason theGreen Lantern crew is going there?
