The Incredible Hulk: Back With a Reboo

2008 will give us a new Hulk incarnation as opposed to Hulk of 2003 directed by Ang Lee. "The Incredible Hulk" is neither a sequel nor a remake of its predecessor. It is generally referred to as a reboot of the franchise, which totally ignores Ang Lee's work, all because of 2003 Hulk being poorly received by the critics and – alas! — the audience. Hulk was a disaster in the box-office, so the producers decided that the new crew should give new life to it.

This time Bruce Banner/Hulk is played by... bet you didn’t see it coming… by Edward Norton! Eric Bana's depiction was okay, I believe, but the whole movie just sucked, so someone smart opted for Norton. Hulk's girlfriend was changed from Jennifer Connelly to… bet you didn't see it impending… Lyv Tyler! Abomination – Hulk's arch-nemesis – is portrayed by Tim Roth, bet you didn't... well, you know.

This new installment is directed by Louis Leterrier, best known for making two parts of The Transporter. This guy definitely knows how to shoot action flicks.

The plot goes as this: Bruce Banner is exposed to the radiation rays, mutates into big green monster and charges off seeking for cure. He is being hunted down by military forces and a CIA agent, who eventually becomes The Abomination under the influence of the said cure. Big bad-a-boom, thank you very much. Now. THAT one you could definitely see coming.

The Incredible Hulk will be released on 13 June 2008.
