Alex Proyas has vowed that he will never direct a Silver Surfer movie.
Proyas, who has previously been linked to the director's chair for the Fantastic Four spinoff, said he will turn down any offers to direct the comic book adaptation after clashing with studio 20th Century Fox over his last film I, Robot.
He told MTV: "[Silver Surfer is] a Fox picture. And I'm determined never to work with them ever again because of my experience on I, Robot."
The filmmaker added that a Silver Surfer adaptation would struggle to succeed because the previous Fantastic Four movie "messed up" the character's back story.
He stated: "It's like the origin of Silver Surfer was in that movie and I'm going, 'This is such a f***ing great story, why throw it away?' I think they messed it up."
