Hey there guys, John here.
Ok, if you’ve come here looking for the pictures from the background area from The Incredible Hulk set, I have elected to take them down. Why did I take them down you might ask? Well here’s the thing.
I guess one of the producers saw the pictures online and threw a hissy fit. Now, before you get all mad at the producer, keep in mind they are trying to keep a tight lid on things before the movie comes out which is understandable. I want to respect their wishes on this matter.
As I said in my post, I only took pictures in the background area AFTER asking one of the assistant directors is photos back there were ok. They said there was no problem with it… so I took a couple of innocent shots and threw them up online (nothing at all that gives anything away about the film mind you).
Today, I got told that one of the producers was really upset about it… I instantly told them had no intent of going against their wishes, and when I was unclear about if the background holding area was ok to photo or not, I took the initiative and asked permission. Clearly there was some misunderstanding with the ADs as to what was ok or not, and they told me it was ok. So I put the pics up.
Today the word has come down that they don’t want them up there, so out of respect for their wishes (which was always my intent to follow) I’ve taken the pictures down.
The Hulk crew is a terrific bunch, and all I’ll say is that from what I’ve seen, the movie looks as exciting as hell. I said that before they asked me to take the pictures down, and I still think that’s the case.
So no one get mad at them… no one sent me a threatening letter… no one freaked out. Just a couple of ADs politely came to me and asked that the pictures be taken down. I am more than happy to comply with that request.

John Campea = Military Badass. Think you can use that gun to shoot that Chipmunk “movie”?
Neat Pictures. You’re taking a step up Giavonni. (I didn’t know the extras got se security badges.
P.S. Have you seen anyone like Ed Norton on set?
Are any hulks being harmed in the making of this film?
I beat John could take The Hulk all down by himself if he just gave him that cold stare.
John I just wanna tell you to soak it up man cause many people would kill to be in your postion right now. How lucky you are to even be an extra. Hey this is one step closer to a 25 million dollar per film deal. Hahahahaha.
look a little like a few pretty boys, splash some dirt on your face.
Shake several hands, John. After all, you’re on the set for a new Hulk Movie. Then tell us all whose hands you got to shake, especially if any of them happen to be big names. Heck, the only famous person’s name whose hand I shook was Bill Nye the Science Guy.
John, you seen Edward Norton or any big name star on set yet?
I’m rooting for you Campea! By the way, I’m a huge comic book reader and ‘World War Hulk’ is AWSOME, Campea PLEASE check it out!
Who is the cutie in the middle on the bottom picture?
Is the Hulk really inedible?
Is the logo on the badge a new logo for the film?

hey. hows the m16 and the crazyness down there in iraq? msut be pretty badass owing wit the m16s and the beretass. nice hulk phot btw!
i can’t see it
Fuck the producer who wanted the pics to come down. After how much the first Hulk movie sucked dick, they ought to kiss anyone’s ass who is willing to help create buzz for an undeserved second chance. Put the pics back up you pussy.
I’m stunned. I agree with j. dixon above. Who knew a studio could be so short sighted? Most other websites aren’t giving this movie the time of day, while you give positive buzz about it, and they get mad at you?
I saw the pictures earlier. There wasn’t anything in them at all. These people really are stupid
This is bullshit. Why the fuck would they tell you to take down a bloody picture of you just sitting in a chair in a military outfit? What? Is the fact that there are soldiers in the movie a big secret or something?!?!?! These studios will just never get it will they?
Well I do understand why you would take the pics down. After all I read the contract to lol. I got to work right beside William Hurts. Like right beside. This movie is going to be real sweet. Well Loui is doing it so!
