Mike Chiklis returns as Thing
"It's clobbering time!" One of the only comic book phrases to come out of Things mouth in Fantastic Four. For fans looking for a bit more comic book nostalgia, rest assured that even more dialogue will be pulled right off the pages for Fantastic
Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
Michael Chiklis on Thing Involvement in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver
Surfer
The good people over at iFMagazine recently caught up with Michael Chiklis and got the actor to divulge some new details on Thing's involvement in Silver Surfer.
iF: Any more signature phrases this time like “clobbering time” from the last film?
CHIKLIS: Oh we have a little spin on “it’s clobbering time” this time, but I can’t really divulge that because it would wreck it, but look for the spin on that.
iF: What did you think of the story this time around?
CHIKLIS: What’s fun about this time around, we didn’t have to lay down the same amount of origin tale track. We could just get right into it. In this kind of situation they have to take certain liberties with the original, but it still adheres to the point where any hardcore FOUR fan is going to be satisfied and SILVER SURFER fans are going to be psyched out of their minds. Weta is doing the effects and they’re an impressive house, just what I’ve seen so far of their effects is spectacular. Doug Jones did some phenomenal physical work to set the look for all of that. He was much more of a champion that I was about being in that costume. He’s used to being in them more, and I am now, but it isn’t something I want to make a career out of. [Laughs] At the end of the day, for this franchise, great.
