News out today regarding the upcoming Hulk movie. It looks like Liv Tyler will play Betty Ross the squeeze of Bruce Banner/Hulk. We get the news from the caves of Yahoo:
Liv Tyler will star opposite Edward Norton in “The Incredible Hulk,” signing on to play Betty Ross, the longtime love interest of Dr. Bruce Banner/the Hulk.
Ross, a classic “Hulk” character from the comic book’s beginning in 1962, is Banner’s fellow scientist and an ally in his quest to rid him of his lurking monster deep inside. The movie will unfold with Ross estranged from Banner (Norton), but with the pursuit of the Hulk heating up and Banner on the run trying to cure his condition, Ross finds herself swept back into his life.
I think this is a solid casting. Liv Tyler would look bitchin’ in a lab coat and totally can pull off the “scientist” look. I just hope the chemistry between her and Ed Norton is solid. If you are going to have romantic moments – you better be able to sell them. Nothing is worse than watching two people kiss uncomfortably like cousins on the silver screen.
After the train wreck of the previous Hulk I hope they are able to put out a solid piece of work. By the casting so far – I am optimistic. I am also glad that this movie is said to involve more action. Hulk is a path of destruction – use this fact to create movie magic.
