HULK SMASH BRAINS!
Personal opinion alert: I loved Hulk. I know a lot of people do too, perhaps not to the extent I do. I pretty much consider it the best live-action comic adaptation (Batman: Mask of the Phantasm still takes the overall spot), and I see it as an amazingly brave, powerful and misunderstood piece of work.Now the bad news.
The buzz for another Hulk film has been around for a while. Now, according to AICN who have the skinny from Avi Arad, it's coming in 2008. But it won't be a sequel. Let Our Avi explain:
ARAD: (edit) …a lot of people are looking forward to the comic book version of the HULK. That’s the one we are making, and I think it will be incredibly satisfying. It will be big and awesome and a big ride.
iF: So will you be recasting HULK with completely new actors?
ARAD: It’s a “do-over”. I loved the HULK movie, it was just a different approach, and it wasn’t exactly the comic. We want to be much closer to the comic. It’s what we would rather do.
I.e. we were too stupid to understand it, and therefore are going to dumb it down for the same braindead fucking pituary idiots who loved Daredevil, and who are creaming their pants for Ghost Rider. This is weak sauce, especially considering the momentum that had been gained with quality Marvel movies (the Spider-Mans, Hulk, X2). I just hope it won't be directed by Mark Steven Johnson.
To help sweeten this very sour news, there's a big semi-naked picture of She-Hulk hiding behind the little thumbnail. It's not a huge consolation, but hey, the green goddess in her birthday suit is better than nothing, right?
