J. Michael Straczynski let loose a few details about his upcoming work on the "Silver Surfer" movie. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the film will deal with the character's origins, something already well-known to comics fans but still fun to see.

Straczynski said, "It picks up right where the FF movie left off and it's designed to answer the questions that were asked in the movie but really weren't dealt with there: Where did he come from, why did he become the Surfer and what is he doing here now?"  Asked about the Surfer's bossman and his appearance in FF2, he added, "You don't want to sort of blow out something that big and massive for one quick shot in the first movie… Where you're showing the origin of the Surfer, that's where you do it; that's where you blow it out."
