Our pal Alex over at FS has posted a first look of Edward Norton as Bruce Banner in Universal’s The Incredible Hulk.
See image of Norton as Banner here at right (click for larger view); second image is here after the jump.
Directed by Louis Leterrier, the sequel to 2004’s The Hulk gets an all-new cast — Norton along with Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, and William Hurt — with a script by Zak Penn.
Norton stars as Dr. Bruce Banner (previously portrayed by Eric Bana), a scientist desperately hunting for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him — The Incredible Hulk.
The Incredible Hulk hits theaters June 13, 2008.
It’s a great cast like the last one. I am curious to see how Norton does this. I always thought he hated these type of films.
You know, I had this foolish optimism about this movie because of Edward Norton’s involvement. But now that I’ve seen the first pictures, well, that optimism, yeah, not so much anymore.
Louis Letterier.
Everything else about this movie makes me smile for the possibilities…
…except Louis Letterier.
Became a fan of Norton after the excellent ‘The Illusionist’. Was rather surprised hearing Edward taking on the Hulk since he has never acted in big sci-fi/comic blockbusters.
Sure will watch the new Hulk just because Edward is in it. He can’t go wrong on this one. And also Ang Lee is not going to helm this movie, given the complete disaster he made of the 1st Hulk. My bro called that movie ‘ Hulk in panties’
