THE INCREDIBLE HULK should always be written in big letters if you ask me. It's a title that just screams out epic! Why on Earth wasn't the first movie called that?
The Hollywood Reporter are telling us today that
Liv Tyler will play Dr. Bruce Banner's love interest Betty Ross in the "reimaging" of the Hulk franchise. She will of course be starring opposite
Edward Norton, who we already know will be playing the title role in the flick. Well she's a great actress, no doubt about it but do you really think that Tyler and Norton will have any chemistry? I'm not so sure. It takes a special kind of actress (not talking about talent) to have any chemistry with Norton because his acting style is so withdrawn.
Jessica Biel wasn't up to the task in
The Illusionist. I think it takes an actress who is just as over-the-top or just as wacky for it to work.
Helena Bonham Carter for example in
Fight Club. I preferred the pairing of
Eric Bana and
Jennifer Connelly (she was great in first movie) from
Hulk if I'm being honest. The Norton/Tyler team-up just sounds so strange to me.
Louis Leterrier will helm the movie that should begin shooting late summer.
