C'est incroyable
Posted by pete at March 13, 2008 5:07 PMThe trailer for The Incredible Hulk, directed by Louis The Transporter Leterrier and starring Edward Norton, Tim Roth, William Hurt, and a strangely mute Liv Tyler, is up over at MTV.
I admit, I wasn't too jazzed by Ang Lee's take on the Great Green One, but subsequent viewings have softened my opinions somewhat (though not of "hulk dogs," or spending 2/3 of the movie waiting to see some mayhem). And since rebooting the franchise after less than five years is apparently the new hotness (see also The Punisher), I guess we can look forward to the Brett Ratner version - starring Chris Tucker as Bruce Banner - in 2013.
Now, far be it from me to pile on a movie sight unseen, but...uh, this really didn't look very good. I assume the Hulk vs. Abomination fight is the big climax after Banner more or less suppresses his rage for 75 minutes? The villain is - once again - another product of gamma experimentation? At least throw Zzzax in there to mix shit up.
And why does the Hulk look more like Wes Bentley than Norton?
Frankly, I'm more excited about the other trailer on that page. Yes, that one:
I've never been happier to see Corey Feldman, who promises more gore and plenty of naked C-list startlets in Lost Boys: The Tribe. and I like how the plot apparently mirrors that of Rambo, only with vampires instead of SE Asian military..
Of course, it's a pretty safe bet there won't be any Dianne Wiest or Jason Patric, who I'm sure is really busy gearing up for his Downloading Nancy publicity tour. And I'd say the odds are pretty steep against this ever seeing the inside of a theater, but as long as oily saxophone player Timmy Cappello makes a return appearance, I'll buy a copy.
Oh yeah, that's the stuff.
You know Imdb says that Timmy cappleo’s coming back, as a “homeless man”
