Marvel-ous News!

With Marvel franchises such as Spider-Man and Ghost Rider looming on the horizon that is 2007, the chain of comics-to-film has been growing ever steadily. Already in production is the sequel to the Fantastic Four. Entitles Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer, this film is looking to dive into one of the FF's most famous story arcs. The Silver Surfer, an alien being endowed with the Power Cosmic by the planet-devouring Galactus, makes his first feature film debut. There has been some anticipation and some apprehension as to what he will look like on film, seeing how he is a being entirely covered in chrome silver. This week we got our first look at the Surfer, and, to me anyway, it seems more like a starting point than a finished product. Hopefully as time progresses there will be some fine tuning done to get the look just right. Here, take a look:On other Marvel movie news, the official Iron Man movie website has been launched. There is nothing important on there but a register-for-update link, which is standard practice, but we also get our first look at what seems to be the Iron Man logo that will be used for the film. I was slightly disappointed with the Ghost Rider logo, but this seems to be going in the right direction. Hopefully director Jon Favreau will do Tony Stark right. What do you guys think?
