The incredible Hulk trailer is out.

movies.ign.com has it for download.
It looks pretty stupid. Why did they even bother to do this movie again?

Because the first one made money (admittedly, not much money). Movie franchises never die off until at least one movie after the "bad" one. That's because the bad one still makes money (people hyped from previous releases in the series go and see it anyway, despite bad reviews), so another one gets the greenlight. People burned by the bad movie don't go see the one after it, so it's the one that becomes the bad investment, killing the franchise.
See Batman Forever and Batman and Robin for an illustration of this effect.
shardian:
This isn't meant as a sequel. It is made as if the other one never existed.

I've never really been a Hulk fan so this trailer hasn't piqued my curiosity one bit. Looks pretty lame, IMO.
I think Iron Man has set the bar pretty high as far as summer superhero movies go.

I think Avi Arad feels like the public really likes the Hulk character and it can make big money. I don't personally agree with that idea, The Hulk isn't even in the same league as X-men, Iron Man, or Spiderman, or potentially Daredevil with the right director. Ang Lee's Hulk in 2003 didn't do that great...but I will go out on a limb and say that I enjoyed it even though I don't know another soul who did. I don't see how this one can be much better....but this is meant to be as if the other one didn't happen, but I have to believe they'll do a little less backstory which might help the new story. That, and no Nick Nolte, which was the worst part of movie 1.
