2 time Oscar nominee Edward Norton has signed on to play Bruce Banner/The Hulk in a June 2008 follow-up. Louis Leterrier, of Transporter fame is set to direct.
If they can keep the father-son emotional drivel out of this one and just show Big Green break stuff for 75% of the film, they might be able to restart this franchise. |

Why not Eric Bana?
You can still catch the original series on TV here sometimes. |

Ang Lee ruined the first flick. He tried to yank a misty, sappy drama from the bunghole of one of our greatest superheros and failed miserably.
The dog fight, the tanks, helicopters and jets...all that was cool. But the rest was such a Connelly film.
Bana was an unfortunate victim of Lee's misdirection. He could have shouldered the franchise easily with a less complicated directorial vision, and we'd be watching a kickass Hulk 2 this summer along with Transformers and Spiderman 3. |

That is so sad...but, hey, he's probably going to earn more in a day's work than I earn in a year. |

| They were talking about Adriean Brody(sp?) at one point for the Hulk. Super heroes can have compelling and interesting stories to tell but you got to have the support behind it. Stories like that, make money. I think Hollywood is starting to learn their lesson. Or not, Ghost Rider, I'm looking at you. Jesus that sucked. |
