Most of you know that I’ve been really looking forward to Hulk 2. Well… it is indeed coming. Sort of.
The good folks over at AICN have a story about a recent interview with Avi Arad where he says that the next Hulk flick won’t really be a sequel. Here’s what was said:
ARAD: (edit) …a lot of people are looking forward to the comic book version of the HULK. That’s the one we are making, and I think it will be incredibly satisfying. It will be big and awesome and a big ride.
iF: So will you be recasting HULK with completely new actors?
ARAD: It’s a “do-over”. I loved the HULK movie, it was just a different approach, and it wasn’t exactly the comic. We want to be much closer to the comic. It’s what we would rather do.
A “do-over”? Look, I don’t mind the idea of remakes (see previous post), but isn’t it a little early to be doing a remake of your own film that was just out a few years ago? Why not just make it a sequel and do it in a new way than you did it in the first?
I don’t know… personally I think this sounds like a lame idea… but I’ll try not to jump to any conclusions yet and see how it unfolds.
