Stills Of Norton From Hulk Set

By Doug - December 28, 2007 - 08:42 America/Montreal

We are able to have a look at Dr. Bruce Banner as played by Ed Norton thanks to our friends at IESB:

Hulk-Banner

Hulk-Baner-2

Campea just informed me that the first picture is a throwback to a scene in the intro of the television show. I enjoy all the medical props, and if they can use shots like this from the TV show – why the hell not. As long as they don’t make the throwbacks an obvious festival of cheese, I am all for them.

I like Norton and am glad he is playing Dr. Banner. These pictures are not as exciting as a picture of the Hulk ripping a tank in half; but It is nice to see the detail that is being put into the human side of the green machine. I have high hopes for this one, and I look to watching it on a big screen.

    Edward Norton is god. Along with Anthony Hopkins.

    I love the GIANORMOUS modern boom arm extended in front of his face – sure it might be a foot in diameter, but you still gotta run some cables on the outside!

  3. Alfredo says:

    Oh crap I completely forgot that Edward Norton was in this. I thought that the dude from John Doe was was the still the lead. Now I’m super psyched!!

  4. Ethan says:

    Does this mean Hulk will have a nice green gotee.

  5. Karl Hungus says:

    Now this is something much more exciting than the production drawing. Can’t wait to see some trailers for it.

  6. AjaxLou says:

    Love that first shot! Thought Bill Bixby was in the chair at first!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Clif says:

    I think Ed Norton rocks. I wonder if he’ll do a “curb stomp” on of the buy guy characters?

  8. Hulk with a goatee? That would be kind of funky, wouldn’t it?

    But worthy of note is that they are calling this “The Incredible Hulk”.
    A slight nod to the Bixby series is nice, but y’know whatcha gonna do? Be 100% faithful and have Banner run out to save the life of some punk who wanders on a Gamma radiation testing field?

    I still prefer Eric Bana as the Hulk. I like Norton but I’m having a hard time envisioning him as a bad ass monster. We’ll see.

    I’ll give it a chance.

    yeah-no goatee man! um actually i think that will ferel would make a good hulk if he was younger skinier and had no facial hair. and- had lik- musscles, and black straight hair. and hed hav to have lik a totaly different face and height and voice. if u did thta ud probably end up with…lik…ed norton haha! ed norton..aahh

  11. Footnote: Remember one of the first Iron Man promo stills? A goateed Robert Downey Jr. testing out the Iron Man hand…? He just happens to wear a white tank top undrshirt. Perhaps the alleged scene with Hulk and Shellhead is in a department store, shopping for new duds?

    Beats stealing people’s workshirts off clotheslines!

    i bet the throwback scene is his attempt of curing himself not actually how he becomes. i wouldn’t mind it if they didn’t get into the origin at all. the first move did that..although way to scientific and boring (i know they say this not a sequel but will acknowledge the 1st film..whatever that means). overall, i liked the 1st movie. the nano angle & gamma rays as a the trigger was a cool modern way of creating the hulk. IMO the idea of somebody surviving a gamma bomb explosion and saving someone by pushing them in a trench is stupid and outdated. the only “true to the original” stuff i want is he gets mad, he turns big & green (with the best cgi possible) and he smashes a lot of stuff throughout the movie. i dig norton as banner…banner is susposed to be puny in relation to the hulk.

    It looks like he’s sitting in a giant punching-you-in-the-face machine.

  14. Agent Doodles says:

    Loved the first Hulk movie!!!
    We need more destruction though…maybe Hulk finds a lonely hooker in Victoria BC…mates, and create a slew of baby Hulkins…just thinkin’ of HULK 3…

  15. J.D. says:

    Norton is a very likeable actor hopefully he’ll do good as Dr. Banner.

  16. vargas says:

    I like agent doodles idea! LOL!

  17. TheFalcon says:

    I liked the first movie and thought Bana did a good job in it so I was hoping he would return for the sequel, but Ed Norton is great too so I’m definitly seeing this. Hopefully there’s more action in it too.
