AnotherUniverse.Com's Daily Buzz reports:

Kevin Walker, who wrote the script for horror-thriller Se7en has reportedly been hired to write a Silver Surfer movie.

Production could begin in 2001 and the film will focus on the Surfer's attempts to fend off former master Galactus, according to Cinescape and Variety.

AnotherUniverse.Com also had the following to say about other Marvel movies:

• Spider-Man: Marvel Comics has a tight grip on the script for the Spider-Man movie project.

  "We have story and outline approval, and the script cannot be different from what was approved," company exec Avi Arad told Variety columnist Michael Fleming. "We have a say over how the characters will look, access to dailies in a timely fashion, and we either exec produce or produce. Legally, we have a lot of checks and balances, but the way we work with studios is very collaborative."

  Spidey causing the death of a villain was already axed by Marvel from the script, Arad said. "Spider-Man never kills anybody." I guess the Green Goblin doesn't count, eh?

• Hulk: The Incredible Hulk movie is reportedly back on course and cooking, according to Variety columnist Michael Fleming. The screenplay is being handled by Michael France, according to Cinescape.

• Fantastic Four: Raja Gosnell, Never Been Kissed, is reportedly out in front for directorship of a new Fantastic Four movie.

  Marvel wants Gosnell for the film to be produced by Chris Columbus and Michael Barnathan from a Sam Hamm script, according to Variety and Cinescape.

• Captain America: A new Captain America film (perhaps to wash the bad taste of the 1992 bomb away), possibly by Saving Private Ryan's Mark Gordon and Gary Levinsohn.

• Ultraverse's Prime: Prime, once abandoned, may be back on track and is described as "a comedy about a scrawny little kid who has the ability or handicap of going instantly from a kid to an Arnold [Schwarzenegger]-like man. It's Big in a superhero's body," Arad said. Doug Chamberlin and Chris Webb (Toy Story 2) will write the script for producer Chuck Gordon.

• Damage Control: Damage Control, the organization set up to clean up after super-hero battles, will be produced by Urban Legend's Neal Moritz and Barry Levine.

• Dr. Strange: Blade's David Goyer will write a Dr. Strange script for Sony.

• Black Panther: Speaking of Blade, Wesley Snipes will indeed produce a Black Panther movie, pitting the high tech African prince against an evil genius.

• Namor: A film about Namor, the Sub-Mariner may come from The Right Stuff's director Philip Kaufman with Sam Hamm in line to write the script.

• Iron Man, Daredevil and Thor projects are also still being kicked around.
