I thought it was about time I brought this one onto here. It's the movie that I am most interested in this summer. Edward Norton stars as Dr Bruce Banner alongside Liv Tyler and Tim Roth in The Incredible Hulk. Here's the trailer.
Plus, a little something extra...
This widget not only contains the trailer, but also a special behind the scenes video which tells you more about how the filmakers decided to pitch this film version of the Hulk.
They're hoping this will launch a possible Hulk film series in a way that the 2003 Ang Lee movie couldn't. There was nothing wrong with the Ang Lee movie in terms of staying true to the comics and the character, but since most people who'd had any experience with the Hulk had come across him in the 1970s live action TV show which had starred Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, the fact that it was so far removed from that whole surrounding meant that whatever fan base the TV show had built up, wasn't transferred to the Ang Lee film.
With this film being re-imagined more along the lines of the old TV show, with some comic-book elements kept in, they're hoping to combine the best of both worlds in one film, and it'll either be a great success cos it will put it off spectacularly well, or it will be a big flop because it will have failed miserably. It's not easy to combine two worlds into one like that, and I hope they've done it right.
