During a recent interview with Ioan Gruffudd for his newest movie Amazing Grace, we had a chance to talk with him about the upcoming Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer. Here is what Gruffudd had to say:

Lastly, what can we expect from Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer?

Ioan Gruffudd: (Laughs).

I'm sorry, I gotta ask.

Ioan Gruffudd: Absolutely, absolutely. I believe that this is a far better movie than the first one.

Oh really?

Ioan Gruffudd: The first movie is an origin movie. It's a movie about setting it up for a wider audience, who these characters are and how they came to be. There was a lot of criticism of that from the first movie. This time, we are pulling out all the stops. We start, from the beginning, the whole thing is just action packed from the word go. Yes, the Silver Surfer is the main protagonist and it's a really exciting character.

Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer comes to theaters everywhere June 15 from 20th Century Fox.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was released June 15th, 2007 and stars Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis, Julian McMahon, Kerry Washington, Andre Braugher, Laurence Fishburne. The film is directed by Tim Story.
