I know I know I know… I’m one of the fe people who really enjoyed Hulk. It took a different approach to a comic movie than most. It focused more on the people than the hero. It was more about human drama than about action… but I think that’s why I liked it… it was different. I’ve been affraid that they wouldn’t make a sequel since it didn’t smash any box office records. But it looks like DVD sales were strong enough to re-ignite the green monster into action again!
Superhero Hype reports that we can “expect a major announcement from Avi Arad soon about who the new director for Hulk 2 will be. And it looks like they have called Michael France in again to write a draft script for the second movie that will feature the Hulk in a more superhero role”
Ok, I’m excited. To me, the big question is can they get Eric Bana (who totally stole the show in Troy from Brad Pitt AND Orlando Bloom) to sign up? Without him, I’m just not interested.
***UPDATE***
FilmForce is now reporting that Michael France is not writing Hulk 2. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see how this turns out.
I liked The Hulk a lot too. Granted, it’s probably Ang Lee’s worst movie, but only because all the other ones were so good…
I really liked how it had more of an Eastern presentation. The Hulk green bushes in the desert in the beginning, lots of symbolism and deep relational issues. It was a smart superhero movie and that made it different and in some ways, better than other hero movies. I was entertained and challenged at the same time.
I agree completely. It’s a very different take on a comic book movie, and that’s why it works. Heck, if you take out all the comic book elements, you still have an interesting movie about a dysfunctional family and how we learn to cope with trauma.
the hulk was a great movie. how can you not like the slow build up to where he goes nuts fighting the tanks and commanches (must amit that it lost me with the end battle with his old man). it’s funny as Eric Bana is on re-runs of some old aussie soap in the after noon here and it’s hard to beleive that he has grown to the super start he is today. I really hope they and get him, jennifer connelly and sam elliott back again for the new one.
