It looks like ticket buyers are willing to give some things a second chance after all…
Despite horrible reviews for 2003’s Hulk, wary theatergoers turned out in big numbers for the latest big-screen version of The Incredible Hulk. The newest rendition, starring Edward Norton and Liv Tyler, came in first place after earning $55 million during the past three days. While that total falls behind Ang Lee’s version (that movie debuted with $62 million), it did better than expected. The 2008 update had the best showing for any film over Father’s Day weekend (passing Silver Surfer‘s $58 million) and should also have a longer shelf life thanks to favorable word of mouth.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Action, Adaptation,
Although word has it Edward Norton is refusing to fully promote his new movie, The Incredible Hulk star managed to make fun of himself and Jimmy Kimmel‘s sidekick, Guillermo, in this hilarious clip. (There’s even a reference to Fight Club in here!)
Jon Favreau Blogs, Rants About Iron Man 2

What’s an actor-turned-big-time-director to do once he’s catapulted into major success, forced to take on a sequel without having been consulted about anything concerning the project? Rant about your bosses and their absurdity in your MySpace blog! At least, that’s the route Iron Man director Jon Favreau took.
Actively participating in a MySpace forum to appease film geeks’ questions, Favreau complains, “Neither Robert [Downey Jr.] nor I were consulted about this and we are both concerned about how realistic the date is. We owe it to the fans to have a great version of IM2 and, at this point, we would have less time to make it than the first one.”

The Latest Incredible Hulk Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
While I think this trailer for The Incredible Hulk is definitely an improvement over the earlier version, I still don’t think there’s anything they could do to make that green guy look less cheesy.
And am I the only one who thinks they they should have kept that other ugly thing under wraps?
Edward Norton‘s version of The Incredible Hulk storms into theaters on June 13.
The Incredible Hulk Trailer

This Incredible Hulk. This is the movie that’s supposed to make us forget about Ang Lee’s 2003 mistake called Hulk.
Unfortunately, I just found myself giggling after I saw the big, cheesy reveal.
Question is: Could they have possibly made the green guy look better? After seeing movies like Cloverfield, have we come to expect too much from our ‘monsters’?
The Incredible Hulk comes to life this summer on June 13.
New Photos of Upcoming Hulk Movie
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Universal, Action, Adventure, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Nearly five years after Ang Lee’s disappointing abomination once referred to as Hulk, Edward Norton has given us all a new hope: The Incredible Hulk.
With the help of Transporter director Louis Leterrier, Norton re-wrote Zak Penn’s (X-Men: The Last Stand, Fantastic Four) script, which was intended to be a sequel to Lee’s 2003 atrocity. Back with a better cast (Liv Tyler, Robert Downey Jr., Tim Roth, and William Hurt) and a better director (let’s face it, Lee has done nothing noteworthy other than post-Hulk, Oscar-friendly Brokeback Mountain), the film is clearly going to be great.
Empire Magazine has released new photos of the movie, which is set to release in mid-June of this year:
