SCI FI Wire: Silver Surfer to be digitized in FF2

SCI FI Wire reports: "The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Doug Jones will provide performance and movement references for the Silver Surfer in the upcoming sequel film The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and that New Zealand's Weta Digital will provide the character's visual effects for the Fox movie.

Jones will take part in a process similar to that in which Andy Serkis portrayed Gollum in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The voice casting of Silver Surfer has yet to be determined, the trade paper reported.

Weta (King Kong) has developed an advanced computer-generated-animation process that employs motion-capture techniques updated to add further dimensionality to the liquid-metal hero. "
