From AICN, "Hey folks, Harry here... This is one of those good news, bad news sort of news updates.From the Yatterling pipeline - I've gotten a couple of updates regarding FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER. A film that I desperately hope buries the fetid pile of shit that was the last film... however, with essentially the same talent pool... I'm wary. Although every trailer so far has kicked ass.
Well... turns out that they've found a voice for Galactus... Laurence Fishburne - now it's still a rumor - but a reliable one.
Then - apparently in Seattle on the night of April 10th - Fox had a test screening of FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER and the word on the screening that has reached me is that the film was "sooo bad that they felt dirty and wanted to write letters of complaint." I encourage anyone that feels that way or that loved it to write on in. I'm willing to give Tim Story a second chance - and I'm really hoping he nails this. That said, he'll have to entertain us for a lot longer than a trailer."

First of all, I'll bet you all $5 that there's no way in hell Cowboy Curtis is gonna be in FF2. But why do they even need to get a big wig actor for Galactus? You can take any voice and put if through one of those digital voice altering things that mob witnesses use on TV.
It's amazing that there even is a sequel. Let's review:
They tried to take a mediocre, yet established comic and make a movie franchise. They failed with the casting, acting, story and the special effects. It was universally panned and disdained. It has since been mentioned only in mockery.
...and a sequel is green lit.
Like Porky's 2: The Next Day.
I think it made money, though. Remember last year, when the studios whined constantly about how nobody was going to the movies? And then a couple good movies came out and FF got some of those movies' momentum, maybe more even than those movies did?
What cluster-fuckery.
Just check the blog from last year. Hollywood's big money dip was all the talk.
