I wonder who will take over as Doom?

What makes you think that Julian McMahon isn't locked in for the sequel?

Yeah, I thought I'd heard all the principal actors were signed to a 3-pic deal. Though if Doom is masked during the whole film, there's little point in paying McMahon to play the role. He could just do a couple of days voice work.

Latest word has it that Canadian actor Bruce James will be cast as the Silver Surfer (over whom there will be CGI enhancements to make him shiny silver).

Also from Tim Story's blog:

"I've been going crazy prepping this thing. Just got back from Vancouver, which is of course where we will be filming the movie, and things are shaping up. It's the hard part of the phase where I have to make the ..'s work. Even with 100+ mil, there's never enough money. Looking at the plan for the new Baxter Building interior and it's going to be hot. We're going more high tech and we're giving Reed Richards and the gang more gadgets this time around. The "4" logo will be everywhere as we are used to seeing it. They are a corporation now.

"I'm going to use some looks that have been inspired from more recent comics, like in "The Ulimate Exstinction" and a little from the "Ultimate Fan Four" series. I know what you're thinking "Kirby, Kirby, Kirby!" There will be much props given to Kirby throughout the movie.

"What I'm really excited about is the Fantasticar. It's coming guys in all it's glory. Wait until you see it. It's going to split in pieces and all that. Johnny and Ben fight over who should fly it. All the fun you expect."

Latest FF2 news...

Beau Garrett joins the cast as Frankie Raye, whom comic fans will recognize as Johnny's girlfriend and

Doug Jones will portray the body of the Silver Surfer, overwhich "state of the art CGI," according to Fox Chairman Tom Rothman, "as great as modern technology can make him," will be applied. He says that Galactus will appear in the movie. It is possible that a Silver Surfer movie will spin off from this FF appearance, just as in the comics. Another actor will eventually provide the voice of the Surfer. Full interview here:

Tim Story has commented that even the work-in-progress for the Surfer looks incredible. He says that we will see a glimpse of the Surfer in the first teaser trailer.

They haven't picked an actor to do the voice of the Silver Surfer yet but, Tim, if you're reading this, you've GOT to consider Hugo Weaving for the part. No stranger to big budget movies (LOTR, Matrix) or comic book adaptations (V for Vendetta), Hugo as the perfect voice to capture the nobility and pathos that is the Surfer. If he could act through the frozen "V" mask in Vendetta he can emote through CGI. Cast him!

Hopefully, the Surfer will be taken over by the Carnage symbiote like in those issues of Amazing Spider-Man.

I'm starting to look forward to this movie just because of the Silver Surfer and Galactus. I actually wouldn't mind if the Fantastic Four take a much smaller role in the film.

I finally saw the original today and enjoyed it. I'll look forward to the sequel.

I just knew you would, Greg!

Like I've always said -- it's a fun, enjoyable movie.

I'm no stranger to comics. I've been collecting, reading and selling them since 1968, when I was eight years old! I have owned my own collectibles/games/comic book store since 1990. We currently have in stock hundreds of thousands of comic books. Finding time read them is the problem

I got into the FF around issue 129 and worked my way backwards to #1 , enjoying the Lee/Kirby worlds immensely.

The Inhumans were always my favorite subgroup within the FF world.
I'm hoping the powers that be can do justice to the Galactus/Surfer story line. I'm not optimistic though.

If the Surfer even says the word "DUDE", I'm outta here!

I have nightmares of this happening

Oh yeah, I found the first film so-so. Not great,. It may be worth another viewing. I just did not like the

. The acting was a bit better than the Corman version, but I liked the Corman version. Really, it was a cheezy movie-of-the-week style movie with bad acting and poor pacing, but for some reason I still find it amusing

I was under the impression that Doom loved her, but the feeling wasn't mutual. She just saw it as a working relationship.
