The Incredible Hulk movie (2008)

[Captain Trips]

One of the clips from the movie, shows Emil taking it to the hulk with his guns, right up to his face. He shows agility, speed, dexterity and reflexes that some might say are just a little bit beyond peak human, if you get my drift.

Yeah, I've seen that clip, and now it makes sense why Blonsky would have so much confidence and ability to try and take the Hulk on all by himself.

CBR News catches up with "The Incredible Hulk" producer Gale Ann Hurd to talk about the Hulk's return to the big screen and why she feels comic books have finally gotten their due in Hollywood. Plus, what Marvel hero would she next like to bring to the screen?

Hurd is an awesome producer! A pioneer in her field and career, esp. notable as a woman. Lately, she's chosen some stinkers, but I wish her all the best! :)

It still also shows he is a little freaking crazy as well. Even with those enhancements he probably knew he was no match for The Hulk. But crazy enough to engage him anyway.

Something of note, at the very least, he talks in the video game.

I think it's been confirmed by various editing room visits from various websites (Aint it Cool, CHUD, IESB, etc...) that the Hulk does indeed have dialogue in the film. Reportedly not much, but the impression I got from reading the various articles was that it's not "dream sequence" and that there's at least a handful of lines.

Also reportedly...the voice is provided by none other than Lou Ferrigno (with some help from the sound effects guys...).

Which kind of makes me like him even more than The Hulk.

Plus, Tim Roth is freakin' awesome.

EVERYBODY BE COOL THIS IS A ROBBERY!

Probably shooting for a higher caliber than Steve Rogers, which as we know, Banner paid for in The Ultimate Universe.

Seems like what Blonsky took is a botched attempt to improve on the old supersoldier fomula (which Ross is apparently trying to revive in the film).

Works for awhile then poof, your body says "nah, this isn't working, lets expand" and you're a freak.

[Monty_Cristo]

That's very cool because not only does it tie into the Ultimate Universe origin of the Hulk (which I like better than the 616 origin), it continues the creation of the Marvel movie universe. The super soldier program is an obvious reference to Captain America and will, more than likely, factor into the Captain America and Avengers movies that are due in a few years.

hey, maybe Ant-man will be some kind of reverse super soldier serum!

He did voice the Hulk in the 96 TV series.

I hope his voice doesn't sound like how it sounded in the new video game coming up... not the voice itself, but how it was edited with effects.

I hope it's effects are similar to the Abomination's voice.

Sorry, but I saw the Hulk trailer before seeing Iron Man the other day. It looked by poor video game footage. I won't be bothering.

So, what exactly will this be competing with in it's first two weeks?

I'm still not sure if it'll be any good but outside of the Avengers, if this doesn't do well it could pretty much spark the end of The Hulk in cinema for quite awhile.

Hell yeah, he is one of the few actors that can get me to watch anything he is in even if I don't find the plot all that interesting, just cause he is in it.

Kung-Fu Panda and You Don't Mess With the Zohan open the week before. Kung-Fu Panda is potentially going to be big. Probably not Iron Man or Indy big, but big.

M. Night Shyamalan's latest, The Happening opens the same week as the Hulk. Initial reviews are that it sucks, but he might still have enough of a following that it'll draw some folks away from the Hulk.

Get Smart and The Love Guru open the week after. Oddly, I know a lot of people that seem really interested in Get Smart. But it's Steve Carrel, so I guess maybe they're fans of The Office.

WALL-E and Wanted open two weeks after the Hulk. If by some chance it manages to take #1 for its' first two weeks, it'll be dethroned this week for certain. WALL-E will probably be one of the biggest hits of this summer/this year (Disney/Pixar's track record is pretty unbroken in that regard).

All-in-all, it's facing a lot stiffer competition than Iron Man did, with a lot less advertising and marketing behind it. I think it might take its' opening weekend, but it won't be breaking any records, and might not have that much of a gap between first and second place. There just doesn't seem to be much/any "buzz" surrounding the movie outside of the fan-based message boards or movie websites.

Somehow I think it is more like Ross says "This isn't working, and since radiation made the Hulk, let's dose you with radiation" and POOF, he's a freak. Only permanently.
