Marvel’s do-over of Ang Lee’s Hulk just went from lame to unlame in 6.2 seconds.
I’m really surprised by the news but instantly enthusiastic about the casting of Edward Norton as Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk, which apparently will not be a remake of the origin story as previously believed, but will begin “with Banner on the run” trying to cure his condition. It will be directed by Louis Leterrier, the director of both Transporter movies as well as the underrated Unleashed, which is itself a version of the Hulk story.
Huh! That’s interesting. Norton is a good fit for a nerdy scientist, and he’s a good actor. I didn’t like the Transporters very much, but I thought Unleashed was pretty great. Well, I guess we’ll see.
