Fantastic Four movie

Way Off Topic No Comments »

I saw the trailer for the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer tonight. I didn’t even know another Fantastic Four movie was in the works. Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver surfer will be released June 15, 2007.

I’ve been wanted to play the Fantastic Four video game for quite some time. Last week I picked it up for the Xbox for the bargain price of $9.99. We enjoyed playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance, which is another Activision title. I haven’t been able to play yet as we all have been sick. Hopefully we are all on the road to good health and can get back to our normal routine soon.

Doug Jones will play the Silver Surfer. He is no stranger to playing comic book characters as he was Abe Sapien in Hellboy. All of the FF actors are back this time around, too. Ioan Gruffud, aka Mr. Fantastic, is one of my favorite actors. I love him from the Horatio Hornblower series.

So, it’s almost March, and I’ve just have learned of one summer blockbuster that I must see.
