Avi Arad says that the Galactus only being a cloud thing is just a rumor.

per IESB.NET –

“IESB: We talked about it earlier today, the announcement of Laurence Fishburne being the voice of the Silver Surfer, Fox has said that they don’t know if Galactus will even have a voice, can we address the rumor that Galactus is a giant cloud or something like that, is there any truth to those rumors?

Arad: You know, that’s why they call them rumors (laughter), you will see more than a cloud, you will have enough Galactus to rejoice (laughter).

IESB: I know that Fox has said that there wasn’t a test screening of FF2 in Seattle, is that true?

Arad: (Laughter) I don’t know where that came from, you should know that every time someone said that they went to a screening of a Marvel property, they are full of it. We would never do that, forget it.”

Ya gotta love the internet.
Fiction becomes truth.
Truth becomes fiction.

Alfie,

We agree completely.

I’ve said from the beggining that the Ultimate version would translate better to film than the classic version.
I’m sorry purists, but classic Galactus would look ridiculous on screen. Purple antlers and all.

Plus, Galactus is probably only going to have a few minutes of screen time anyway. Having him be a cloud for those 2 minutes isnt a deal-breaker for me. I’m going because of the Surfer.

having galactus appear as he does in the comics would look every bit as stupid as having megatron still be a hand gun in transformers….

there are more people out there who won;t give a fuck what galactus looks likes…sorry galactus fans but most people won’t give a fuck

I think it’s a better idea. Now if the cloud is Galactus and simply setp for either FF3 or a Surfer spinoff, great. Then give Fishburne the Galactus armor and out spews the voice of Doug Jones!

What do mean, that’s a crackpot idea? I like that idea! Hey!

But if the film builds up said character right up to the end, then it does matter if it’s a cloud, i think.

This must be a little tough for Doug Jones. I read interviews with the cast and tey really thought his voice should be used. Oh well, he played Pencilhead in Mystery Men and nobody can take that away from him:)

I always thought his voice wasn’t fluffy enough for galactus!

Think about the cloud-thing this way. If they had Galactus as the way he is in the comics in this movie, the producers of Transformers may not have used Unicron in a future Transformers-movie

You’re right about that John even though theirs one bad thing in a movie should not ruin the whole movie, but your friend Doug is so narrow minded it’s ridiculous.

Well, a talking cloud would be ridiculous. Well, a cloud IS ridiculous.
