The Incredible Hulk

Opening June 13th

Hey, didn't Oscar-winning director Ang Lee make a 2003 movie of this Marvel comic-book series about a scientist dude, Bruce Banner, whose repressed rage plus exposure to gamma rays turned him into a decidedly unjolly green giant? Yes, Lee did just that, but the audience was allergic. Now Marvel has decided to make its own movies — Iron Man is first up at bat — and the Hulk gets his second chance. It helps that Edward Norton, a formidable actor allergic to doing trash quickie remakes, is stepping up to enter the Hulk's skin and psyche. Director Louis Leterrier (The Transporter) goes along with the theory that the new Hulk hews closer to the comic books, and to the TV series with Lou Ferrigno that ran on CBS from 1978 to 1982. Reportedly, stress wasn't confined to the green guy but spread to the filmmakers and the Marvel camp, who arranged for Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man to drop in for a cameo. Norton insists that give-and-take is part of any creative process. He doesn't share details but notes that "only in Hollywood is pushing for something to be good considered arrogance."
