The Silver Surfer
Release Date: Not announced yet
Distributor: 20th Century Fox
Production Company: Marvel Enterprises
Cast: Doug Jones (Norrin Radd/Silver Surfer)
Cast Notes: (9/6/06) In Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the Surfer will be a CGI character, with Doug Jones, who played (with CGI help) Abe Sapien in Hellboy, involved with the production as the actor who will be the basis of the CGI character of the Silver Surfer (source: director Tim Story’s MySpace blog). Therefore, there’s a very strong chance that for this spin-off film, Jones would be reprising that duty as the Silver Surfer.

The Island the Movie
Lincoln Six-Echo (McGregor) is a resident of a seemingly utopian but contained facility in the mid-21st century. Like all of the inhabitants of this carefully controlled environment, Lincoln hopes to be chosen to go to the “
The Island
,” reportedly the last uncontaminated spot on the planet. But Lincoln soon discovers that everything about his existence is a lie. He and all of the other inhabitants of the facility are actually human clones whose only purpose is to provide “spare parts” for their original human counterparts. Realizing it is only a matter of time before he is “harvested,” Lincoln makes a daring escape with a fellow resident named Jordan Two-Delta (Johansson). Pursued by the forces of the institute that once housed them, Lincoln and Jordan engage in a race for their lives to literally meet their makers.
