Incredible Hulk Trailer

As I've said before, I am not a big fan of the Green Goliath. That having been said, I like what I've seen with this trailer and it's probably going to find it's way onto my list of kick-ass films to watch this summer.

Has there been any word on whether this one follows the first film, or is a stand-alone feature? It seems strange that they would completely ignore one film and simply make another, but I suppose if reception to the first one was weak enough it's entirely possible. I couldn't really tell from the trailer if it was meant to include the events of the first film or not.

This film is pretty much going to pretend that the 2003 version never happened. This one is starting fresh.

Ok, there's just something about "Wanted" that makes me go OOOOOOOO SHINY! and want to see it.
"Wanted" looks good but I would have loved to see them do it more in line with the graphic novel.

There's a Graphic Novel?! WHERE!

I did like the little touch in the trailer where the diagnostic machine(?) has a certain light pattern playing over Bruce's face.
The TV series had that same pattern of lights in the opening, part of the Gamma Ray machine Bruce was testing and overdosed on.

There was even the publicity still of him in the gamma ray chair just like in the TV show. Also, I've read they've gotten the rights for the "Lonely Man" theme to be played in the movie.

Here, hardcover

They have paperback as well.

The movie honestly is going to be immensely different except Wesley Gibson and Jolie playing a character named Fox. Hopefully from it all, it's a good popcorn flick.

It's nothing like the trailers of the film have shown.. It's more along the lines of juvenile wish fulfillment, IMMHO.

From wiki:

The premise of Wanted is that all the world's super-villains decided to band together in 1986 and use their vast collective powers — including mad science, magic and mind control — to eliminate all the world's superheroes and rewrite reality in their own dark image; in essence an in-story retcon. Prior to this the world was a brighter, more hopeful place (a clear reference to the end of the Silver Age). Superheroes are remembered as fiction (as they are in the real world), and behind the scenes a cabal of the leading super-villains run the entire world.

Mama's boy Wesley Gibson discovers that his recently-assassinated father was a super-criminal called The Killer, and that Wesley has inherited his perfect aim and uncanny skill with any weapon. Wesley enters a new life, and must deal with the most dangerous and evil people in the world — whose ranks now include Wesley himself.

The guy goes around being basically evil. There are other parts, obviously, but still, the main character is a serial killer/rapist.

Damnit, um, sorry for messing that link up. Could a mod fix it?[/url]

Straight to DVD apparently.

If this is a remake, I'm slightly disappointed. I really liked the first Hulk movie and hoped they would make a sequel to it.

Regardless though, I'm certainly interested in this one.

Well, there was an article some months ago I read that says what amounted to this: If you wanted to think this was a reboot you could, because of the brand new filmmakers and actors. However, the writer consciously tried not to retread the Eric Bana movie, so storywise it could be considered as a sequel if you wanted to.

What's going DTV? This movie?

It has a US theatrical release on 13 June.

Besides, Universal would never honestly spend about $125 million on a movie only to dump it with a DTV release.

I think he means Wanted.

It's more along the lines of being a story about villains who have fun being villains so we can sympathise with them to some extent.

It looks good, though Liv Tyler being scientist-y with glasses made me laugh.
