The stars of The Hulk enjoyed a massive
turnout at the film's UK premiere.

3rd July 2003: The Hulk Update:
Ang
Lee says The Hulk could be one of last films he directs, because he's getting
too old. He says he finds shooting movies so physically demanding he's not sure
his body will be able to withstand the strain again. The famous director, who's
58, adds that it took him a year to recover from
filming Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon. "When I go to bed, I often think I shouldn't do any more films.
I'm getting older, so it's becoming more and more difficult,” he said in
a recent interview. He added that he used to shoot one film after the other with
only a few weeks in between. "Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a turning
point. It took me a year to physically recover. Sometimes at night, I feel very
fragile. Then, when I get up, I think differently again. But I have to limit myself,
because I know the next film can already be the one that kills me."

Thursday 29th May 2003: Hulk Update:
Cinematographer Frederick Elmes
has revealed some key info on what we can expect of the Hulk "The
Hulk changes size during the movie. He starts at 9 feet tall, then he goes to
12 feet and then to 15 feet. His face also changes three sizes, and the audience
will see him do it a couple of times on screen. His musculature changes, his color
changes a little bit. So all of these things are built in as extras and I think
they add believability to the character". Elmes also confirmed that during
the editing phase they've done some 24-esque tricks with "multiple images
on the screen at the same time, whether by showing both sides of a conversation
simultaneously or the end of one scene overlapping into the next by wiping into
the first couple of shots of the incoming scene".
Tuesday 27th May 2003: Hulk Update:
Eric Bana has been talking to Empire
magazine in the new issue that comes out at the end of the month. Here's a taste
where he describes preparation in watching a bare knuckles fight "I really
didn't want to do it. It was just short of finding an illegal bare-knuckle fight
somewhere. We had front-row seats , which was kinda grotesque but interesting.
I was feet away from watching a guy semi-conscious with his head on the canvas,
while a guy with bare knuckles was pounding into the side of his head. I think
it was about pure, unadulterated rage. About being exposed to something very,
very primal. There were some specifics that I wouldn't like to mention that Ang
wanted me to pay attention to. Interesting, then, but not something I'm in any
real hurry to see again."

Director
Ang Lee’s melodramatic take obviously hasn’t gone down a storm as
hoped, with one exec reported to have said: “It's like he combined The Ice
Storm with Shrek." Oh dear.

Monday 27th April 2003: Hulk Update:
In a huge snub to Stan Lee and Jack
Kirby, Marvel is planning on not crediting them in the Hulk movie. And why, money
Stan Lee sued Marvel late last year over claims that Marvel was cheating him over
profits Marvel made out of Spider-Man. There is apparently three weeks before
the title credit will be locked down. I'm sure you know what you need to do. Email
Marvel and complain. Lee and Kirby did create the bloody character after all!
Friday 24th April 2003: Hulk Update:
The credit for who actually wrote
the script for Hulk has been settled on and it is "Screenplay by John Turman,
Michael France and James Schamus. Story by James Schamus." The reason for
this is that the project has had many writers over its extremely long gestation
period until Ang Lee came on board and had to be decided by the Writers Guild
of America.

Thursday 13th March 2003: Hulk Update:
Nick Nolte has been talking about
his involvement in Hulk "I wasn’t interested in just doing a cartoon,
and Ang came to the house and said, ‘Look, Nick, I don’t know how to
do a cartoon, but I DO know how to make a Greek tragedy.’ So I said ‘If
we go for a Greek tragedy, I’ll go for it.Because if we can present it of
the magnitude of a Greek tragedy, a father/son tragedy, and if we do it right,
there should be some element of compassion, maybe some pain".
Wednesday 12th March 2003: Hulk Update:
Stan Lee has been talking about
filming his cameo in upcoming blockbuster
The Hulk. "They were filming
in California, near where George Lucas has his
place, and I did my major
scene, on which of course the whole movie hinges,
and it was a lot of fun.
When I shot the scene, my little scene, he (the
Hulk) was supposed to be
coming out of the sky and jumping down and landing
right next to me, and
then taking off again, and I’m supposed to look real
scared and I was
looking scared at nothing because there was no Hulk, he
will be added later.
It was really funny, there was a man holding a long
stick and I was told
to look at. The stick was about 10 feet high or so. I
was told to look at
the top of the stick because that’s where the Hulk’s
head would
be when he landed so I was acting scared.” Lee also confirmed he
won't
be appearing in X2 because: "I don’t think I’m going to have cameos
in
the sequels because I think that gets to be a little much. I’m hoping
I can
have a cameo in the first movie of each character.” Thursday
6th March 2003: Hulk Update:
Eric Bana has been talking about Hulk ""I
originally went in and saw the Marvel guys about doing another superhero movie
called Ghost Rider, a Spawn type character, and they were convinced I could do
something they just didn't know what. Anyhow, I wasn't right for Ghost Rider so
I actually audtioned for Daredevil for the role Colin Farrell ended up playing
and then X-Men 2, wich was great because I did an audition with Hugh Jackman,
and taught him a thing or two about acting (laughs), and then Hulk. And Ang Lee
was sold on me and The Hulk seemed like the right movie for me, because it would
be my first lead role in Hollywood and because the characters are so interesting." Wednesday

The computer guys at ILM have been talking
about what we can expect from the big green guy "It's a very complex challenge.
It's hard to get the old
Lou Ferigno image from the TV show out of your head
when you think of
the Hulk. We're used to seeing a bodybuilder in green paint.
But the
Hulk is 15 feet tall and glows green from gamma radiation. There's
a
lot of pressure to get him right. He has to work or the movie doesn't
work. The audiences will be the judge." Monday
20th January 2003: The Hulk Update:
Director Ang Lee has been talking
about what we can expect from the CG Hulk "I didn't want a big, lumbering
dinosaur...I wanted swiftness. I wanted Jackie Chan in Arnold Schwarzenegger's
body." Friday
17th January 2003: Hulk Update:
Word reaches us what you can expect from

passages, picking up an army tank and throwing it about. Sunday

Word has reached us of how we will first
see Hulk appear in the upcoming Ang Lee directed movie. Banner wil be trapped
in a watery tank called the Containment Unit wearing a scuba mask and purple trunks.
He starts to nod his head, then shakes violently, opens his eyes and changes into
the Hulk for the first time. Wednesday
16th October 2002: Hulk Update:
Eric Bana has been talking about the upcoming
Hulk movie "I think Ang's very specific vision [for The Hulk] is buried deep
in his head. It was fascinating to work on because all you could do was have complete
and utter confidence in what he was wanting...just surrender yourself to it, and
that's what I loved about it. It's a stylised piece of work with elements that
are obviously extremely deep, and deeper again because a lot of it is in his head
– and not all of it is he able to communicate to you – or would want
to. So it's a very scary and thrilling experience; you have to relinquish all
your control to this auteur. But the man is a genius...I knew it would have a
lot more elements than people would be expecting. So in that sense I wasn't surprised.
You had to work extremely hard in every facet. Ang's a perfectionist and he has
a very determined vision. We all worked hard – not just hours, everyone works
long hours, but in intensity. The level of intensity was extreme. He made me dig
deep and go places that I found pretty uncomfortable – but I'm weirdly attracted
to that, so that is fine by me" Monday

Some information has been leaked for what
will be found on the official website for Hulk when it's ready. One section will

Lou Ferrigno has revealed that Hulk will

it is "Smush!" Thursday
19th September 2002: The Hulk Update:
Writer Michael France has been talking
about his first draft of The Hulk movie script "My approach was that I wanted
to deal with Banner's psychology, and that's held up throughout what they're shooting
right now. I see him as a guy who had problems with anger even before he got that
gamma ray shower, a guy who had an abusive father so he worries about what happens
when he loses his temper. He really has problems after he gets his Hulk problem
bestowed on him. You have to find a way to make a comic book character like the
Hulk more human or else you just have a Saturday morning cartoon. It's just a
monster-in-the-street movie" Friday
23rd August 2002 : The Hulk Update:
More word has been received today
on the rumors last week that The Hulk character design was still up in the air.
Producer Kevin Feige had this to say "There
had been many different incarnations of what the Hulk should look like. We all
decided which one we liked best and that is what we and ILM have been working
on for months. In fact, we have just seen some things that would make your jaw
drop." 14th
August 2002 : The Hulk Update :
Word is that we might have to wait
a while on seeing an actual Hulk head shot. And the reason for this? The look
hasn't been decided on yet, and they are still working on what look to go for.
This has affected filming as well with Jennifer Connelly having to act alongside
a cardboard "Hulk Head" 24th
June 2002: The Hulk Update:
Oh my God! Talk
about keeping things real. Ang Lee is really gonna need an R rating for The Hulk
isn't he. And why? Well news comes in today that he is planning on The Hulk, instead
of as always keeping his shorts on, being in the NUDE! This news came in via Universal
and this is what they had to say about it: ''Ang made a creative choice...to have
him naked. It's like he's first born...he's posed in a way that's not revealing.
Obviously, we're not having frontal Hulk". Well maybe not a R, maybe just
a little P ?

Just
received an email from a scooper named Alice who sent in news that one of her
calendars will be used in Bruce Banner's lab in the upcoming Hulk movie. Small
news according to Alice, but news none the less,
"Well this is
only a microscopic scoop to you, though it's a big one to
me. 3 weeks ago
Universal Studios contacted me to ask if they could use
my fractal calendar
in the Incredible Hulk movie. I signed an agreement
and faxed it to them.
My calendar will hang in Bruce Banner's lab. I know
this is peanuts, but hey,
I'm the only one *I* know with a contract with
Universal Studios! :) I am
so glad to see that the movie is going to be
so very interesting. I wonder
if there's an Oscar for Best Appearance by
a Calendar in a Motion Picture...?--Alice"
Thanks Alice, and to see the calendar in question, please

27th February 2002 Hulk Updated
Eric
Bana has been discussing his lead role in The IncredibleHulk to Empire
in their April issue, due to hit stores on March 1st.
'I think the
Hulk is the only reluctant superhero,' Bana tells the magazine. 'Superman
puts on the cape, Spider-Man puts on the suit and Batman goes into the cave, but
The Hulk has no control and for me that's an awesome prospect.'
He
also states that, 'The Hulk is not the size of a human being, I play both but
I can't say how we do that. I'm meant to look like a scientist though,"'
which sounds as if the Hulk will be created using at least a little CGI as previousley
thought........
5th February 2002 Hulk Updated
It's
been rumoured that The Hulk will totally destroy one of the US's biggest landmarks.
SuperheroHype
reports, "There are some surprises in store for you. How does twisting the
Golden Gate bridge into a pretzel sound?"
10th December
2001 Hulk Updated
Ten months since we last updated the
page, so a lot to catch up on. Eric bana is attached to star in he lead role of
David Banner and Jennifer Connelly will play Betty Ross in the film, directed
by Ang Lee. Recently, Connelly spoke with SciFi.com
about why she decided to take part in The Hulk,
"I asked [Ang
Lee] why he wanted to make The Hulk, and he said, 'Well, it's really a Greek tragedy.
It's actually a psychodrama,' He talks about the rage inside all of us, he talks
about fathers and sons, and he's talking about using a heightened format to get
at something really profound that is otherwise more difficult to access. So, I'm
hearing it like Brechtian theater. "It's really interesting and ambitious.
He's not talking about a guy running around in green tights and a glossy fun-filled
movie for kids. He's talking along the lines of tragedy and psychodrama. I find
it interesting, the green monster of rage and greed, jealousy and fear in all
of us." (appeared at SciFi.com)
Eric Bana, star of this years Chopper had this to say a while back when he
was first cast in the movie;
"I am absolutely blown away. The Incredible
Hulk was one of my all-time favourite TV shows as a kid. I play both Bruce Banner
and the Hulk but I can't tell how it happens". (from The Sunday Herald Sun
and TV's The Panel).
Bana also spoke with AICN
about the project;
"It's directed by Ang Lee- the guy who did
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and The Ice Storm". Bana continues "I
play Bill Bixby's character the mild manerred Bruce Banner and the psycopathic
Hulk." Adding, "Yeah Psychotic again", refering to his role in
"Chopper". "It's a big secret" is all Bana would say about
how his character would turn into the Hulk. "It's filmed in L.A, and I will
be there for six months of next year doing that". (appeared at Aint
It Cool News).
Bana did let a little more slip on an Australian TV
show, reported by Coming
Soon;
"The only thing he mentioned would be that it was Ang
Lee direction, based on the TV series, but this time being chased from town to
town by the military over an incident involving an innocent, small child injured
by the HULK is what I have heard, not this space bizzo (business, excuse my Aussie)".
(originally appeared at Coming
Soon).
More news as I get it.
7/3/01
- Ang Lee has confirmed that work (shooting) on the Hulk movie won't start until
after the actor's strike, although it seems that locations have started to be
scouted. (From Coming
Attractions) 'We're told that Hulk producers scouted the Lawrence Berkeley
Lab today looking for suitable locations that had a "scary looking science
stuff" feel to it.' This
