News comes through Coming Soon that The Hollywood Reporter confirms Weta Digital will be responsible for bringing to life the Herald Of Galactus for all our movie oogling glory in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. As the song goes; "Nooobody, doooes it betteeer". Except maybe ILM.

Why not this one then? After all the digital audio processing that's sure to be involved, won't he sound just as good as anyone else?
