The Incredible Hulk… AGAIN?

First and foremost, I must aplogize for my recent lack of posts. My only excuse, and I think it’s a pretty good excuse, is that I’ve been on music video sets for the last 2 weekends. I was directing the first video for solo artist Jordan James (release date in one month) and producing the second for three-piece band Atrophy Manuscript. Since this is a music video/film blog I don’t feel too bad about it. And, as promised I’ll be posting the work as it gets finished. Lots of VFX.

 Today, I want to take a look at the newly released trailer for the newly made Incredible Hulk. This time around, we have Edward Norton as Bruce Banner turned green beast. I’m not going to lie, the Hulk is probably one of my least favorite comic book heroes. So why is Marvel spitting out a remake only 5 years after Ang Lee’s take on it?

I’m sure the die-hard fans are stoked. Lee’s adaptation of the comic left a lot of fanboys upset. Maybe Louis Leterrier’s experience with action flicks (Transporter 1 & 2,) gives him an upper edge on Ang Lee’s character drama influences.

So here’s the trailer. Another VFX heavy Hollywood film. I still don’t understand why the Hulk’s shorts are the only thing that don’t rip.

Trailer in HD.
