The incredible Hulk trailer is out.

I actually said something similar, 5 posts before that too.

I'd say the movie fails when they do go looking for an "arch enemy". It's bound to be a forced and "unbelievable" story.

I felt Norton did have the "I feel trapped" look in the trailer, but granted it's only a few seconds of footage so it's hardly possible to determine the actual performance. I like him as an actor, but he does always act a bit similar. It's usually a "I'm sort of cool or at least I want to be, but somehow life took a dump on me" type role. Which really should fit here.
Lets hope we finally get a good comic book movie.

It looks like it could be good.

What I got from an article in the current Entertainment Weekly is that Norton is a big pain in the ass on the set and is now refusing to promote the movie due to creative differences. Hey, I think he's a great actor but get out there and tap-dance like everybody else. Negative press like this is not what a "do-over" movie needs.

I hated to bring this up again, but with release date about a week away, I just saw something at IMDB.com that amazed me. Lou Ferrigno was hired to do the "voice" (if you will) of this Hulk. He also plays a security guard in this film.
Well, hot damn! Another reason there may still be hope for it yet. I also saw somewhere (I don't think I posted this earlier) where the film will end with the piano solo from the original TV series. With the glowing green eyes prior to changing back in place, if nothing else the movie has the promise of being a very nice tip of the cap to the original and the best.
:soapbox:
Was in Best Buy the other day to find volumes 3 and 4 of the TV series out on DVD. I have a few of them taped around the house here as well (back when Sci-Fi was running the old series in the early morning). It really is amazing how well the series holds up after all these years. It was primarily, of course, Bixby's unreal ability to flesh out a character like Banner and make him believeable, that seals that deal. It was also the fact that there were very few weak scripts being written for it at the time.
Ok, stepping down now.... sorry bout that. ;D

I saw the director interviewed a few days ago and he was talking about this. Apparently he approached Lou while he was filming the security guard scenes about doing the voice. It's definitely the perfect choice :)
Also, he said theres a ton of little things fans of the comics and series will pick up on, similar to the recent Iron Man movie. Apparently even Captain America shows up somewhere in the movie as well (Similar to the Capt. America shield in Iron Man. I'm guessing there will probably be a picture of him on a government officials wall or something since I doubt they'll actually have him running around in the background)
