HOLLYWOOD, CA, November 6, 2006 – You WILL like him when he's angry! Marvel Studios and Universal Pictures will unleash Marvel's renowned, larger-than-life green Super Hero onto moviegoers everywhere in summer 2008 as they have announced a June 13th release date for the action-packed, new big screen adaptation: The Incredible Hulk. The announcement was made today by Michael Helfant, President and COO, Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige, President of Production for Marvel Studios.

Directed by top rising star Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2, Unleashed), The Incredible Hulk will return to the roots of the long-running comic series, combining a well-developed storyline with incredible action and fun. Zak Penn, who previously collaborated with Marvel on X2 and this summer's smash hit X-Men: The Last Stand, is writing the script. The project is being produced by Avi Arad, Kevin Feige and Gale Anne Hurd and will be executive produced by Michael Helfant, David Womark, and Ari Arad. Marvel Studios is currently casting the project.

The Incredible Hulk is being independently produced by Marvel Studios through its $525 million, non-recourse film finance facility and will be distributed domestically and in several international territories by Universal Pictures.

Feige commented, "The Incredible Hulk will be the type of fun, high-octane event film people have come to expect from Marvel. We could not be more excited about this project and our summer 2008 prospects now that we have both our green goliath and our highly-anticipated Iron Man set for release."

Helfant added, "We're very happy that Universal is distributing The Incredible Hulk. We have a history together and this is a great opportunity for both Marvel and Universal to take the Hulk film franchise to another level."


First two pics





Look...I think Edward Norton is the absolute best choice for the movie...But...the comic geek in me is slightly upset because it would appear to me that they are going the route of the tv series and not the ACTUAL comic book origin of the Hulk....i.e. no gamma bomb..just gamma radiation to increase his own adrenal glands. With that said, though, I am still FREAKIN EXCITED!!!

Be advised of another date to pay attention to: Wednesday, March 12 at approximately 9:56 p.m. EST/6:56 p.m. PST on MTV, MTVU, MTV2, VH1, Spike TV, Nick at Nite and CMT. The FIRST TEASER TRAILER WILL DEBUT!!!!!!!

Wow.. I made happy in my pants, and I'm loving it.

Awesome...nothing wrong with getting a hard on about Hulk...

BTW, I did a bit of research...and there's another comic movie coming out. That new movie, Wanted, with Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman is from the comic run of the same title put out by Top Cow (June 27th).

HERE IT IS:
