Puny internets. Hulk not Grey! Arrrrrrggghhhh! SMASH!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here.
So, Avi Arad talked with the good folks over at Empire and now says he was joking at the roundtable when he mentioned that the Hulk was going to be grey in the new film.
He admits that the color is different than the first film, but it will be a shade of green. And the Hulk won't be intelligent, which was the speculation that came along with the news of the grey Hulk. Maybe in a future sequel, yeah? I still love Ed Norton as Bruce Banner.

Damn Arad.
-
why cant the hulk ever be black? U RACISTS
-
He just said he didn't know what color it was going to be. Kind of not the same thing, huh?
-
Everything is chrome in the future.
-
I liked the HULK movie (loved the TV series from the '80's), so I hope that the new one kicks butt! Green or otherwise. P.S. (Though it's DC) Green Lantern movie, guys. C'mon!
-
whose Hulk movie was actually pretty good, but could've used a more traditional editing style.
Eric Bana will be missed. -
I can feel it, it's big, it's semi-green, it's smashing.
-
Should be a CGI-'d Nadja Bjorlin - she might be a dead-eyed careerist ho but I'd take my chances.
-
First the Joker fiasco, now this.
-
and it published as much unconfirmed conjecture as this site, the paper would probably be shut down on ethical grounds. This place is ridiculous.
-
The first Hulk sucked. No it didn't, it was brilliant. Where was the Hulk from the comics? HULK SMASH! Ang Lee made a sophisticated film for adults--sorry you mouth-breathers didn't get it. I'll miss Bana; he was perfect. Ed Norton is a great choice. I'd pay to see Buscemi as Banner. Hulk didn't suck nearly as much as [insert Marvel adaptation here; e.g. Elektra]. Here's my list of best Marvel movies. Hulk poodles?
-
This movie is a surefire blockbuster now that they've made the Hulk a different shade of green.
-
why didn't some asshole bring a color-wheel to the rich bastard and tell him to point at it. Jesus.
-
but with a bigger clit. (Oh, you'd suck her off.) *** The shade of green is unimportant (pea, olive, forest, hunters, army drab. etc). What has me concerned is the alleged quote that the new film will be "more like the show". PLEASE let THAT be the joke. *** And I think AICN does a good job of covering breaking news even if it does have to fall for the occasional hoax or unconfirmed rumor to do it. When it reports on something some other site had a week ago, everyone bitches. When it steps up and breaks a story that turns out to be a speculation, everyone bitches. What do you want from these people?
-
he was the Hulk when he's not mad, and he becomes Ed Norton when he is mad.
-
I didn't like the CG Hulk in first movie. I felt that's when the film community realised that ILM was no longer the special effects company.
That now belongs to WETA. -
Hulk smash somebody's chompers into a gutter!
-
he was squaundered in that ridiculous film. Sucks for him, he deserved better.
On a different note, would anyone by any chance know what Cho Seung-Hui weighed? I mean I am totally looking everywhere for this, and nothing! Anyone know? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?
Seriously though, someone has to know this! Thanks in advance. -
With flames on his nipples?
-
I for one am glad that the Hulk will not be grey (as cool as he was in the books). In order for this motion picture to work (at the box-office) it must appeal to the masses and not just the Marvel Maniacs and appealing to the masses means GREEN HULK SMASH! Pure and simple. Just get the green mother-fucker to fuck shit up and the masses will come and rejoice. And I don't give a monkeys what shade it is just as long as it's GREEN and fucks shit up! To me its quite simple.
Indeed, may be that's what the problem was for Mr BrokeBack - the simplicity of the story which is probably why he tried to turn it into a Shakespearian piece. This title had the potential of being a good franchise until Ang Lee got his cum-stained hands on it! Yes my dear friends let not your minds be fooled or swayed in any way - Mr Lee's effort was absolute cods-wallop.
Pure, thick, steaming doo-doo!
The fact that he had enough ingredients in place (Bana, Connelly, Elliott etc) made the experience all the more painful and the moment he introduced the insipid 'Hulk dogs' convinced me that Mr Broke-Dick took leave of his senses; indeed, I wept bitterly. I am not going to be an apologist or pacifist for such appalling work... It was utter crap! I'm a Hulk fan and I'd like to see this one done right and Norton is a definite step in the right direction. Hail the Green Norton! -
Rick Moranis inside!
"I can't breathe in this thing!" -
I don't think so.
-
You can't do a movie where the hero turns into a big green guy. You just CAN'T. It's good for comics but not for the big screen. Norton can be fantastic but as soon as the Hulk arrives you might as well throw everything else out the window. It's just like Kong will always be seen as an ape movie no matter what extra stuff Peter Jackson throws in.
-
Now that would be a movie! "I smash you, you smash me, we are just a big smashery!"
-
...I still won't see Singer's Superman Returns Again! I don't like to be molested out of my money twice! I learned from that first shitty movieHas Far as Lee's Hulk, it had positive sides to it, not great, but some positives. like the screen play that made it look and feel like a comic book, the CGI Hulk was done pretty good (Not perfect, but good enough), Bana is a good actor and did what he could with that movie but I still feel someone like Norton is a better built to play Punny Banner, The "Hulking out" was done pretty well. The bad siade was the whole story, they just played too far away from the original gama bomb experiment, the Electric Boogaloo Dad Man Monter, the Hulk Dogs (Yes they were in the comics at some point but still was a bad idea), Connely while beautiful did not deliver a character that would deserve to be a major part of the story, and Lee's direction. A good Director gets the best out of every actor on the set, he gets the best shot and he delivers a great product at the end. Three poitn that Lee just did not deliver on the first movie.Those Desert shots could've been taken by anyone, the arial views, the angles, the feel and look of the surroundings just didn't seem to come out, and unfortunatly for Lee, the movie felt like it was short changed. I think Norton would not have signed if there wasn't a decent script and a decent view of the whole movie from the Director or Producers. We'll just have to wait and see.

"Can't a grey brotha get a film? Sheeeeee-it!"

He's gonna be all like "WINTERGREEN" and "EVERGREEN" and "FORESTGREEN"
-
No, no, no, no no.... You apologist! Thou shalt not do it... Thou must not! Crap, poo, mud, doo-doo, feces, shite, dirt, excrement, bodily waste products.... and such.
-
This site is a parody of itself. Any asshole can write in and say "Hey guys, long time reader first time submitter, I just found out that because of product placement the Silver Surfer is going to wear chrome Calvin Klein underpants" and Bang! it's on the site. When are you guys going to learn?? Don't post unconfirmed sh1t like this all the time. It's just damaging what little reputation you have left. I can understand getting it wrong every now and then, but how many times has it happened recently? Seriously guys, you need to get back on track, because this site is becoming a joke.
-
and leave us be to revel in mediocrity...
-
...at least it's having a 'go', a reasonable attempt - what's the alternative in mainstream blockbusters, Transformers??? When I was a kid Stan Lee used to put in the comics difficult words, grand-often abstract concepts and regularly (often mis)quote Shakespeare. Not a gesture of 'the grand educuator' but a pretty cool thing to do in his position. This meant that not only would I investigate what those things actually meant but I'd keep an eye for them in other contexts in film, literature, theatre etc. So Ang Lee puts a bit of Freud in Hulk, good on 'im - then maybe someone who would never look at that stuff in a million years might for once broaden their horizons just a little bit rather than just sit back, slack-jawed and suck mindlessly on the big ol' tit of studio tentpole stupidity. Most studios are too scared to put anything remotely intelligent in their films so the audience might get alienated or confused or not give them their dollars - fuck 'em they need to be. We do too much pandering to that mentality these days.
-
I wanted a green Hulk.
-
However, it is a comic book therefore the people expect a comic book flick. I love the theatre, studied Shakespeare and when I go and see a west end play I know what I am going to get. However, when I pay my £6.50 to go and see something like the Hulk I expect the motion picture to do what it says on the tin. I'm all for intelligent, logical stories and so on but the insistence of trying to be something it ought not is (for me) what helped make the Hulk some of my afore mentioned nouns...
-
Even though he's dead?
-
WHAT!!
-

That ending to Family Guy is sheer, inspired genius. You want to talk about TV for the geeks, by the geeks...
-
I actually quite like the site. The problem is, it's hard to take anything posted on here seriously. All I'm asking is that Harry, Quint, etc actually try verifying information before posting. And buying a sodding spellchecker wouldn't be a bad idea either.
-
ergo he should be a storm cloud. a slightly gray one, and with scars... and make him hot like.. like Grace Park!!!!
-
...of course dear chap!
-
and maybe give him a cute little speedo, or a yellow sarong. The only thing they should really change (beside the omission of poodles) is the transformation from Hulk back to Bruce. The one at the end of Ang Lee's movie looked shitty--the change was too quick, and looked, well, incredible. The change back should take a while. Hours, even.
-
Secondly, some moron is the one who came up with the idea that he would be gray. I have read that "different color" quote in several different publications and nobody took that to mean Hulk was going to be anything other than another shade of green. But this guy, whoever it was, thought it was gray. So he asks, and the guy says "ummmm we'll see". How anyone could draw from that that the hulk is going to be gray is beyond me.
-
So what your suggesting is, whenever david/bruce banner gets mad, he turns into a big black man that destroys everything?
-
You may be right, but here we all are reading everything they post.
-
Thee idea didn't come out of nowhere. The Hulk used to be gray. Do some research.
-
Thanks for the comments and I definitely see your point there - I always thought though that great comic book movies brought out the material that lurked in there all along often as subtext, (and in Peter David's case made more explicit with his psycho-analytical debates around Bruce Banner - which made the whole thing a damn site more interesting for me I have to say as a long-time Hulk reader). Comic books are of course a separate medium entirely but the best of them hint at possibilities that cinema can realise and extend, and let's face it, they pretty much HAVE to expand upon otherwise we're left with little more than a two and a half hour videogame that you can't join in on and that the characters in the story simply bore you to tears with their simplicity. I love me the pretty colours but even comic book material can aspire to being so much more, that most fans actually would like something that they can debate and come back to reassess and indeed neither should we restrict what the form can express. That I think is very much in keeping with what Lee, Thomas and all the others had in mind all along and I was really pleased to that Ang Lee thought so too. The converse argument is Ghost Rider which I can't believe anyone can make an excuse for as being other than a pointless waste of time, money and electricity.

...sentence construction went to ratshit there - but you get the idea!! I'm typing this at work!!

Grey hulk, emo joker!! whatever!

Who gives a Damn!
Hey Harry where's the talkback on the remake of V?
Bunch of savage's in this town. -
RAAAAAAAAAAA
-
Ugh. I'm the ultimate Marvel Zombie and I could barely tolerate that HINO TV series. Bixby was good, but, let's face it, it was a warmed-over version of "The Fugitive." OK, he turned mean and green when he got mad, but that was where any resemblance to the comics ended. Arad should be using 40+ years of comics stories (some classic, some awful) to base this on, not a barely-watchable minor hit TV show from 25 years ago...
-
Just asking.
-
Make him Scottish!
-
I agree with Mr Stillwell. There's room for a bit of intelligence - even in a summer blockbuster. The Hulk is a prime candidate for Pathos and exploration of what it is to be human. The Bill Bixby pilot movie even went into a huge amount of detail to explain WHY he was experimenting into human rage, strength etc. I don't think Ang Lee's film was entirely succesful, but i'd hate to just see something completely mindless with this new Hulk movie. Ed Norton's usually pretty reliable though. I'm sure he wont let me down, right Ed?
-
PLUS we can save the mindless stuff for the sequel! Hulk Vs The Thing! 2 hours of stuff being smashed to bits while ol' blue eyes takes on Mr Stretchy-Pants in a big city full of breakable stuff. And penguins... you know, for the kids.
-
I hope the Lee Priest-look is gone in the next movie. I want a real towering CGI-monstor this time, and not some prettyboy action-man.
-
"Zorro the Gay Blade" all over again.
-
smells like shit.
-
That's what it should be!
-
I'd love to see that shit onscreen, with the thunder god son of Odin flinging mjolnir (his hammer) at stuff. If Galactus can be a cloud, they can invent a way to get a thunder god onscreen.
-
Michael Bay would be perfect for this movie and you know it.
-
Grey is the Canadian or English standard as I recall. Gray is the american form? Canadians also spell it as "Colour" not "Color". So the Hulk will not be Grey in Colour?
-
"you don't post enough gossip/scoops" "your scoops are lame" "your scoops turn out to be LIES! shame!" mew mew mew. grow up you fucking babies.
-
Ang Lee's Hulk was a brilliant adaptation. This new with the "stupid Hulk" doesn't make me wish to see the movie.
-
Oh and by the way, I hate non-American spellings of words. I just hate them. That's right, cheque, shoppe, grey, colour.. they all make me very, very angry. And you wouldn't like me when i'm angry.
-
Hulk MAD at big dumb robot truck! Hulk SMASH red nipple flames! Hulk POUND vagina-face robot!! Ohhhh, Hulk TIRED. Hulk need to POOP.
-
wonka is sad...I mean come on, isn't there anyone left who won't sell out?
-
...his voice needs to drop at least a third so that he sounds like a fuggin' MAN instead of a schoolgirl on prom night. Bruce Banner can't be a pansy. I mean, he could be, but I don't want him to have a squeaky voice. HULK SMASH puny girl-talking man!!
-
if there's one actor who deserves to sell out for a paycheck it's Edward Norton. He's been doing his time working on films people don't see for so long that it's time for his moment in the sun.
-
it was called Fight Club.
-
... "Black Hulk scare children and old white guys!".. What about us Middle aged white guys.. Why can't we be afraid of a Black Hulk! Shame on you! I'm waiting for them to say "Garden Green".. now that's Hulk Color!

But will there be more FEEDING OF SCARVES TO HULK DOGS?
by theaflacduck
an oldie but a ... uh, well that was stupid in the Talkback even back then.
-
... as much as I love SuperShadow. Thanks Harry+co for the wonderfully reliable news that you've given us recently. Greatly appreciated.
-
Let Lions Gate do it and release it on DVD and then lets move on....the whole Hulk thing died already....Ang Lee killed it.
-
He already played a character who's nature was just a thin line away from serial killer, struggling to stay "good" by personal choice - Will Graham. And he failed miserably at it.
I know, I know, we all loved him in Fight Club. But he didn't play a torn character - he played half of that character straight, with no internal knowledge of the other half. Brad Pitt did the rest.
I don't think this bodes well. -
That's right. I said it.
-
I vote metal flake candy apple green with a clear coat for the USA, 'cause it's SOOOOOOO shiny! Then maybe a matte dunkelgrün for the Euro audience.
-
Earl Dittman - Wireless Magazine
-
hope for this film so lets hope its not a repeat of Guy Pierce's fate. Although Norton is a more recognizable face in the US, so that gives him a bit of an advantage.
-
I want the arc where Hulk knocked up Betty,not Bruce.
-
Xena
-
How'd we make it this far in the posts without that comment?
-
A stupidly non properly educated really stupid stupid. The colour is grey. Deal.
-
That's all I really have to say on the matter. Unless of course you are from an ass backwards country where that's the proper spelling- in that case you're just ignorant.
-
Doth spaketh Shakespeare
-
at least be consistent. "Grey" is a "colour," and "gray" is a "color." So the problem is really Quint using "grey" and "color" together. It's almost like miscegenation, and I can't handle that.
-
Also, she better be graigh!
-
It was called Down In The valley.
-
He said Nicholas Cage will be in the movie (because he has to be in every movie). He also said that Shia Labouf will play the green Hulk's sidekick. The gray Hulk will be played by Alec Baldwin. Harry Knowles is in negotiations to play the white Hulk.
-
Is Tim Story directing this one too? "Affirmative action Hulk SMASH!"
-
.....you know, kinda like the new Gheeiy. It is still a gay colour, considering the fact that it graces the title of the gayest show on TV right now. So Grhey it is. And we could even merchandize, this shiznite, like with T-shirts emblazoned with famous AICN catchphrases like "Too Grhey!!!!" or "Damn you Micheal Grhey! Damn you!!!" Or my personal favourite, "Grhey's gotta eat", just barely edging out "I just got off the phone with the color Grhey and it told me that it looked over and saw Kurt Russell was smiling, so it must have been OK".
-
But grey isn't a colour. It's a shade.
-
This Incredible Hulk has officially gone a different shade of green.
-
And by "Poodle on Hulk" I mean ON Hulk, humping his leg. Take that!
And they didn't mean "gray" they meant to say "gravy". He would be the color of gravy. -
"GREY", is the English (read: British) way of spelling it, whereas "GRAY" is the American spelling; or more correctly, the American misspelling. You know, English, don't you? That language that was spoken long looooong before America ever came into existence? Just like the spelling of the coloUr Grey? In other words, Grey is a colour, whereas Gray is a *color*; whatever the hell that is. Oh, and neither of them is a shade - it's a colour!

Whats up with Aicn aholes not reporting Beil as Betty!!
by merryhulkster
Hello Dick wads JESSICA BEIL HAS BEEN CAST AS BETTY ROSS EVERYONE AN THEIR MOTHERS HAVE BEEN FUCKING REPORTING IT!!
-
He won't be green nor gray. Hulk will be a lovely shade of mauve and will neither be intelligent nor a brute. Rather, he will be an interior decorator.
-
I am British, although I live in the US, and I hate to interrupt your rant, but there is such a thing as American English, which has its own spelling rules that sometimes divert from the original English. An American would be incorrect to write 'colour' just as a Brit would be incorrect to write 'Color'. They are not exactly the same language, which people seem to have a problem grasping.
Also Grey or Gray has no opposite color or colour (everyone happy?)... -
...that's what would happen if Michael Bay were handed the film.
-
Jeesh. Everybody knows Betsy Ross is who did something to the American flag. Oh yeah, she burned it.
-
I think we should now spell it "graey" to please both
by anchorite
F U & your political correctness. That's what's wrong with America and exactly how the liberals are destroying us. By stripping us of our individuality and personal beliefs! Better explained: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaE98w1KZ-c
Anyway, we know who's playing the Hulk. We know what color he's going to be. We need to focus on the enemy. Sure, the government will always be after him with tanks, choppers, jets, bombs, and other things that the Hulk will smash to kill time. But what/who is the real powerhouse enemy going to be? What's the oldest Hulk Vs. who debate? I think it should be THE JUGGERNAUT BITCH! Not that lame ass X-men version. Or, the abomination. The villain will make or break a film just as quickly as the hero. -
and it is making me turn Grey with arousal...
-
that the Hulk in Lee's flick moved like shit because Lee was in the motion capture suit? get an ACTOR in the suit and you end up with Gollum or Kong. I'm not suggesting Serkis for Hulk but you can really tell the difference between an actors motion capture and that of a director with delusions of grandeur.Just watch the tank smash behind-the-scences and see how much "acting" ILM had to do to fill in for Lee's playground version of the big green bastard...
-
For goodness sakes man...
-
Well observed old chap! Come to think of it the Hulks movement was a little homosexual in its nature. Much more like a gay mans tantrum... Yes, indeed!
-
the box office, the HULK will be a, uh, "Superman"!
-
Yeah.
-
Scene: Pitch Meeting with Asshole Film Executive Yes Men in suits: "yeah, let's make the Hulk impotent, then Hulk meets a mexican chick, gives her a dirty sanchez, yadda, yadda.....we'll call it.....How Hulk Got His Groove Back"
-
irregardless of your feelings towards the color of the Hulk...no matter how blissful it may be for you.
-
and what planet are u from tht u dont know who she is? Mary Caamden, the older sister from seventh heaven, and Whistler's Daughter in Blade Trinity! Yeah that girl Sjes Playing Betty( Hulks Girlfriend) who was originaaaaally played by Jenniffer Connelly in the original!
