Marvel Starts Promoting Hulk - Finally!
Are you aware that there’s an Incredible Hulk movie coming out this year? I was starting to wonder if Marvel Comics’ PR department knew. While I think I saw the first Iron Man trailer during Star Wars Episode I, there has been precious little pub for the Hulk film coming June 13.
Now the House of Ideas has announced that the first Hulk teaser trailer will begin airing March 12 on seven networks. After its initial airing, the trailer will go live on MTV.com. (You still probably won’t be able to find any music on there, though.)
The first Hulk film was something of a disappointment, as evidenced by the fact they replaced everybody involved with it down to the key grips. Edward Norton will now play Bruce Banner instead of Eric Bana, Liv Tyler will replace Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross, and William Hurt will be Gen. Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. Sam Elliott played Hulk’s eternal nemesis in the 2003 film. And for good measure, Louis Leterrier has the director’s chores instead of Ang Lee.
Really, the only person that probably needed to go was Lee. His “Crouching Drama, Hidden Action Sequences” take on the character didn’t resonate with most fans. Tim Roth plays Emil Blonsky, the man who becomes Abomination, so hopefully initial reports that there is a lot more “Hulk Smash!” in this one are correct.
