The Incredible Hulk (2008 Film)

[AYHJA]

Yeah, this one is definitely going to be better than the first...I think that with the right scripts, Hulk can be the most successful comic-to-movie adaptation series ever...

Hulk Trailer To Debut During Super Bowl

New-Hulk-SmallWord on the street is that the angry green man will make an appearance during the Super Bowl! We get the scoop from Lindsay Thompson’s personal blog via superherohype:

The big announcement is that I will be working on the new Incredible Hulk movie… I’m so excited. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever done before and I can’t wait for all the crazy things I’m going to learn while working on it. THIS IS NOT A SEQUEL. Basically we’re all pretending the first one never happened. It stars Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Liv Tyler, and William Hurt. It should be awesome. I’ve seen the tests for Hulk and its amazing! Way cooler than it looked before. I believe the trailer will be premiered during the Super Bowl. Not sure yet, but I’ll keep you updated.

I am excited that the Hulk is being remade. It is no secret that I hated the last one; and as much as I loved Phantom - Nolte, the movie did not bring the Hulk to the screen the way it was meant to be. This time I hope they up the smash up to 11 and the drama down to level 2 (out of 10).

To launch the trailer during the Super Bowl is certainly appropriate. Not only is the Super Bowl the best time slot for a commercial, but I am stressed to think of a movie that will better appeal to the throngs of drunken, testosterone-pumped masses than Mr. Hulk. Timely and appropriate equals advertising success.

The commercials on Super Bowl sunday are on occasion better than the game itself. I am guessing that this trailer will be a water cooler knockout on monday morning along with the new Budweiser commercial.

'HULK' DIRECTOR SPEAKS
In an exclusive interview, director Louis Leterrier discusses Ang Lee’s film and why he chose the villains he did for 2008’s ‘Incredible Hulk’
Best known for street-level martial arts flicks such as “The Transporter” and “Unleashed,” director Louis Leterrier gamma-irradiates the big screen on June 13, 2008, with the release of “Incredible Hulk.” Starring (and written by) Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, the titular alter ego of the Green Goliath, along with Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, “Incredible Hulk” acts as a fresh start for the monstrous hero from Marvel Studios after director Ang Lee took a stab at the franchise in 2003.

“It’s a fresh start because I saw there is a real fan base for Ang Lee’s movie,” said Leterrier of Lee’s ill-received “Hulk” in an exclusive interview with Wizard. “I didn’t want to offend [those fans] in any way, and also I like the movie. It was very interesting. [But] it was weaker ground to build a big franchise upon so we decided to scrap it and establish it from bases that are more comic book-based and TV show-based.”

“Incredible Hulk” will still feature several elements from the Ang Lee film such as General “Thunderbolt” Ross (played by William Hurt) and his hunt for Banner. But the development of other antagonists takes place in the film, as well. Heading for those comic book roots, Leterrier pit Hulk against someone very familiar to comic book fans.

“Obviously, General Ross is the villain, so he had to be in it,” added Leterrier. “But the Abomination, Emil Blonsky, was who Marvel wanted to put in this chapter—the first chapter of our new saga—because he’s the most famous. He’s an enemy that can actually threaten the Hulk. It’s very important for me that there is a danger. When Bruce Banner is Hulk, I didn’t feel in Ang Lee’s ‘Hulk’ that there was any threat. He was invincible. So with Abomination there’s actually a monster that can, you know, kill him when he’s in the Hulk form.”

Played in human form by Tim Roth, Blonsky isn’t the only new character. Look for Doc Samson (played by Ty Burrell) and Samuel “the Leader” Sterns (played by Tim Blake Nelson) when the film powerbombs into theaters next summer.

Gassed about this one as well...Norton IS Banner, and while I'm not so sold on Liv as Betty, I'd be lying if I said I didn't find her attractive in a not hot, but hot kind of way...

[Sir Jig-A-Lot]

:o Liv is still a MILF to me. in fact,i like her better since she got all buxom circa One Night At McCools..
