Hulk smashed

Although hulk did not hit my proposed question to numbers of surpassing the 59 million dollar mark it came quite close to doing so. This version of the hulk beat out expectations by far, however for us enthusiast and insiders we felt that it would have done far better than it has done. Plus now I can visualize Eric Bana laughing at the studio for not recasting him.

So this is what I have to do now. I have to sit and watch this films progression for the next few weeks to see what take place. I suspect after the buzz gets out that we will see a decent if not significant spike in the weekly numbers. Which will most likely will be due to all those out of work High school kids.

We will see. I have my fingers crossed on this one.

*Side note : I went to see the film and I was blown away with the special effects and the acting was far better than the last version. Although they can step up the story in a few areas, if this get green lighted for a sequel. I think that is a strong possibility.

This is a pot of Gold if Marvel can hang on and make it happen. My advice is once the numbers hit profit negotiations should begin.

Here is what the experts have to say:

Trailer ::: "The Incredible Hulk"

The is not a remake but an entirely new saga for the Hulk. Sorry Erick Bana, But this one is for Ed Norton! The Incredible hulk is heading to movie houses across the country this summer. June 19th, 2008, to be exact! From this trailer it look like David Banner is up to par and this hulk look less like CGI in the earlier millennium version with Erick Bana, which was not a bad movie, but rushed and unpolished.

Ed Norton attended the San Diego Comic Convention in 2007 with his Director and a few questions were asked about the direction the film will be taking. When asked by a member of the audience whether they were using the comic books or the television show for inspiration, both Ed Norton and director Louis Leterrier responded at length.

"I don't always just want them to race through that origin and get onto the story because it seems like obligatory, like you're hustling through it. So one of the first things we talked about was let's grapple with what our own version of the history in this story is, but spool it out and artful way throughout the story. I certainly wouldn't say this film is rooted in the television show at all. The fun in this was not to remake anything, but to just 'spin our own sort of fantasy' between the interface of all these things. Many characters have nothing to do with the television show but are deeply rooted in the comics…"
