Edward Norton is set to star in next year’s "The Incredible Hulk" and I am scared. Unlike my feelings about "Iron Man," I’m a bit upset about this comic-turned-movie. Why? Well, in that "Iron Man" post, I mentioned not being happy with 2003’s "Hulk" and I’m afraid they are going to ruin this story all over again. According to IMDb, Marvel Comics decided to give the franchise a fresh start with a totally new creative team and cast, due to the disappointing performance of Hulk (2003).
Yes, Norton is probably a better actor than Eric Bana but can we really correct the harm that’s been done? Actually… yes. When you look at how wayward the "Batman" franchise had gone (George Clooney as "Batman" was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in my life), it’s incredible how they managed to pull things together for "Batman Begins" (Christian Bale helped A LOT!). I’m actually looking forward to the sequel, "The Dark Knight" so, hey! I just made myself feel better about this new "Hulk" film!
Anyway, here are a couple production stills to accompany my ranting (click to enlarge):
