Arwen replaces Sarah as The Incredible Hulk's main squeeze!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here... I don't know if that headline could have gotten any geekier... a LABYRINTH reference AND a LORD OF THE RINGS reference? Yikes...
But it's the truth. Liv Tyler will be taking over for Jennifer Connelly as Betty Ross in THE INCREDIBLE HULK. They also let a little plot out, saying that the couple's relationship is on strained, almost gone as Bruce Banner is on the run, trying to find a cure for his condition, his pursuers hot on his trail.
The flick starts shooting this summer.

Second?

... much better than Mr BrockeDicks broken version. And I'd 'do' Liv... repeatedly though she isn't the greatest actor in the world. (it's amazing she looks so good when her dads as ugly as sin). Oh wait, you mean SHE'S Betty Ross? Oh crap...
-
I hope not.
-
With his big ass lips!
-
...reminded me why Liv looks the way she looks. Mummy in the 70s. Yum-yum!
http://tinyurl.com/2asvz3 -
every movie Liv has been in her relationship with the guy has been "strained" It's how she works best apparently.
-
pretty phat too.
Isn't it spelled Arwyn? -
You should mention something about the PORN LINK you just posted!There could be kids around someone who's going to look at that link.
-
...in work goddammit!
-
I'd pork the porker.
-
And I thought Connelly was hot in the first one! I am going to have some good fantsasies on this one!
-
Indeed. So did you like the Pic?
-
oops
-
But I really liked Jennifer Connelly in the role. Someone needs to make a good superhero film again soon! Because it's all rolling downhill into a monstrous clusterfuck. The sad thing is that, when a title does well, brainless execs try to "polish up" the next ones and they come out SO much worse!
-
No such thing as too much Sam Elliot, miho.
-
No girl. Hulk smash!
-
or aerosmith could keep their crappy tune from that asteroid movie and just change the words from "i dont want to miss a thing" to "aint easy being green". hoot hoot.
-
That is all!
-
Shaping up to be better than the straight-to-video cheapie I was expecting.
-
Or will they use a different dessert?
-
I can't stand Tyler.. has there been a role where she doesn't act like she's sleepwalking in?
So far, the only bad thing about the film announced, IMO.
-
Maybe slightly... but on Liv Tyler you can overlook it, definitely. 'Sides, I'm sure she'll slim up for the role.
-
Man I hope they don't fuck this up the way they did the first time. I like the casting so far. I think Ed Norton as Banner is awesome, and Liv Tyler as Betty is good too. When was she fat? She always looked good to me.
-
Come on I know some of you have seen it!!
Liv Tyler is great in this film and if she is anything like the character she plays in Jersey Girl in real life. I would love to come across her in my local video store!!.....................................................................................And thats a double entendre if there ever was one! -
This is the worst pairing since the "genius" casting of Meg Ryan to match with Val Kilmer in The Doors! I fully expect her to ruin every scene she's in. Hot? Who gives a shit. She can't act her way out of a paper bag unless there are Sindarin subtitles to back her.
-
Steven Tyler for Gen Ross!
-
...he'd have a big-ass moustache framing his big-ass lips and screaming "ANGRY MAN IS ON THA LOOOOOOOSE! AyayayayayayayayaYOW!" and then unload on the Hulk with a massive gatling gun with cute little bandanas tied to it. I too vote Steven for General Ross!
-
2 lame jokes each about Tyler as General Ross & Aerosmith playing "It's Not Easy Being Green." Kudos!

eeooooooyyrrrhgghh!!
loves me some labyrinth -
OOoOooooOoooooOohhhhh....

etc. etc.
I don't care much for Liv Tyler's acting chops... but I'll watch her in just about anything -- particularly if she's scantily clad. I like my women with a little "substance" - if I wanted a woman with the body of a 12 year old boy, I'd just date a 12 year old boy. -
Jennifer Connelly is much hotter then Liv Tyler. There really isn't much of a comparison. This is a downgrade for sure :(. However I still think Liv Tyler is hot....but she's no Jennifer Connelly.
-
liv is stunning, watch LOTR again. jennifer connellly lost it when she reduced the size of her breasts.
-
Glad to see Liv's getting work after having a kid. (Believe me, after watching my sister and her daughter, it's not easy to be a parent.)
-
set to 'Crazy.'
-
And you can just tell that Conelly hates the idea of doing low brow stuff like the Hulk.
I want Aerosmith guitar rock with this movie now. Bruce Cambell would also be great as Gen. Ross. -
Hulk pulls out the trombone to play the blues with Spider-Man
-
Shooting at people with his "pistol fingers" dancing and bucking up against every female that walks by. Not a good idea? Really? Yeah I guess it would suck to see a superhero do that in a fucking comic book movie.Damn you Sam Raimi!! And by the way Liv Tyler is sexy as all get out,but this is coming from the same people who talked about how fat Bryce Howard was in S3. Come on people,these ladies might weigh 115-125 with boobs. Jennifer Conneley had awesome tits and she was curvy like a real woman. Now Mia Tyler....I'm man enough to say I wouldn't mind spending an afternoon knocking over some furniture with her.
-
to take in Hulk's massive dong.
-
is apparently her passing resemblance to Pamela Courson. From what I understand, there was a lot of friction between her and Stone on certain scenes. Probably the one that most stands out is where Morrison is singing Soft Parade while getting a blow job at the same time. The movie as a whole, however is awesome and is the best telling of Morrison's life as well as the Doors. If they make another movie about them it would be interesting to see what story elements they would include as this one had a very indigenous tone with all the native Americans and stuff.
-
Why can't you get it through your heads? THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE FIRST ONE IN ANY WAY. This is a "do-over" that will almost completely ignore that the other one exists, kind of how every Highlander movie after the second one ignores that the second one ever happened. NEW MOVIE. NEW STORY. NEW ACTORS. It's NOT A SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!
-
That´s what the audience is asking

Meh...The Dark Knight is the only flick with promise
by performingmonkey
All other superhero flicks now suck like a secretary after hours.
-
Liv Tyler. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong.
-

-
of the body under the carpet. Universal being the main culprits says "body. what body?" "oh that body, well see its kind of a long story......" This movie will be so jarring for audiences, they wont go anywhere near it.
-
when he said that Connelly looked really distant in The hulk.
-
Did they replace her with Tyler just because they both have dark hair and big boobs? Got no problem with Liv, but it's kind of a meh fit in the casting department.
-
Edward Norton's an actor. He makes his movies into films with his performance. Smoothie? Fight Club? Primal Fear? He even held his own with DeNiro and Brando in The Score. If his heart's in this work, we're going to be impressed. Add 'the Fugitive' scenario to keep things interesting and it's got real potential. Oh, and as long as Betty's played by a betty, I'm down. Just give us BETTER BAD GUYS!
-
potential. It makes you more sympathetic for the character. The first Hulk did not give Bana enough to do - it was too internal. You can convey the internal through action, 'ya know.
-
Will they have to redesign the hulk.
-
going to redesign the hulk.
-
Her entire acting "talent" consists of delicately allowing 1-2 tears to roll down her face without messing up her makeup. Can't stand her in any movie she's in. And Tyler is not fat. It's just that - unlike Connelly - she hasn't tried to improve her looks through surgery. Really, how good can an actress when her career is dictated by how she looks after surgery?
-
Just re-cast every role. Bosworth should never be allowed to play Lois ever again, in any media form.
-
The fact that the Bana and Connelly aren't coming back spells doom for this film. Edward Norton?? Liv Tyler?? Gimme a break. I smell a stinker of a movie...a big green stinker.
-
...unoriginality, and not a bit of artistic risk. Yeah, let's hire an actor everyone knows about that'll please yer "average bear" fanboys, and hire an actress with proven fanboy movie success, and just basically use the old Hulk a la Fugitive television series formula. Sure it spells box office receipts, but it also spells "We the people in control of this franchise haven't the balls to try anything artistically daring, because we learned our lesson with that kook Ang Lee, and from now on we will give the MTV masses what they want because that's the only way to keep the viscous circle of money coming in, to give them the same old slick formula because that's what they're used to, the same old slick formula and we want our money so we can continue the outrageous mortgage payments on our outrageously expensive houses! Let them eat cake."
-
It's supposed to be a reboot of the franchise, but didn't the first one end with Banner as a fugitive? How's this any different? Just because they treat the material a little different doesn't make it a reboot. Sounds like more of just a different story, which is ok with a sequel anyway. Just cuz the actors and the creative team is different doesn't make it a reboot. That would make nearly every Bond movie a reboot, too.
-
And the only cure is more Sam Elliot and more cowbell.
-
If there is no origin story and the film picks up with Banner/Hulk on the run from the government (which is basically what we've been told) then despite the cast changes... THIS IS A SEQUEL.
-
...In the world. But I actually enjoy watching Liv Tyler on screen more.
At least she fucking smiles. -
Sam Elliott as General Ross. I thought he was terrific.
-
...Betty is not such great role, in HHO (Hulk's humble opinion). Oscar winner as Betty was like getting Katherine Hepburn to play Dale Arden in puny Flash Gordon serial, even though Hulk doesn't know who Katherine Hepburn, Dale Arden and Flash Gordon are. Probably just more humans who hate Hulk. Everyone hates Hulk. Well, Hulk will smash everyone who hates him! So...Hulk guesses he'll smash everyone! Yes, Hulk will smash you! Hulk will smash you all! Also, Hulk should talk in this movie. Hulk has things to say. About politics and the environment. And Hulk has published two volumes of Hulk's poetry. Hulk recorded a CD with his band The Hulk Dogs, but puny humans called it a vanity album so Hulk had to smash recording studio.
-
Even Hulk can't smash cloud. Cloud is all cold and misty, freezes Hulk's great big green nads when Hulk jumps through them. Hulk was almost fighting cloud in other puny movie. It was hard for Hulk to tell what the hell was going on at the end. Hulk thinks puny human Nick Nolte slipped something into Hulk's Diet Coke that puny AD brought Hulk from craft services. Probably puny craft services was with Nolte, trying to trick Hulk because when Hulk had some snacks Hulk accidentally ate the whole table. Vacant Stare Woman will be good as Betty, though. Oscar Girl has vacant stare too if director doesn't give a shit. Hulk is going to go smash puny Thing now. Thing gets to work with Jessica Alba. Hulk doesn't think she can act either, but one time at party, Hulk was hitting on her and doing pretty good until puny soldiers showed up to hound Hulk...
-
Liv Tyler is infinitely hotter. Plus I LOVE her "I don't give a crap" attitude regarding her looks. You know that she will never drop twenty pounds to suck up to some producer. That makes her all the sexier. And regardless of what you thought of Jersey Girl, you can't deny that she was by far the best part of that movie. Very underrated as an actor.
-
Hulk bought his ticket and got in line. Dumb human in front of Hulk said he'd been standing in front of Gammabase 14 Multiplex all day. Hulk told human that human smelled like it too. Dumb human. As puny Banner, Hulk woke up in his own bed next to Betty (whichever Betty, Hulk doesn't know), took a shower, went to work, built gamma bomb, turned into Hulk and fought Modok, had a nice dinner, and still walked into the theater the same time as human. No, sooner, because Hulk doesn't buy overpriced snacks and drinks (Hulk's muscles aren't just from gamma rays). Also, snacks and drinks make Hulk have to use toilet during movie and toilets are upstairs at Gammabase 14, so Hulk doesn't miss part of show. Turns out, Hulk could have missed show. Hulk thought puny Spider-man sucked web fluid. Hulk has fought puny Goblin, Sandman and maybe Venom (Hulk doesn't know since Hulk hasn't followed Hulk's own title since the '80s)and those weren't Gobline, Sandman and Venom. Hulk thinks Spider-franchise should be smashed. Hulk will have new franchise! And Hulk will smash Ang Lee. Not because he fucked up Hulk's first movie. No, Hulk auditioned for role in BROKEBACK. Puny Lee said no one would want to play gay cowboy opposite Hulk and puny audiences would feel sorry for anyone of receiving end of Hulk sex, if you know what Hulk means. Do you know what Hulk means? Hulk doesn't. Anyway, Hulk will still see puny FANTASTIC FOUR since Hulk has smashed them many times. Hulk has also smashed Shiney No Package Man, and teamed up with him in DEFENDERS.
-
bosworth. you nailed it dude. what a terrible actress. I agree with Ebert who said that Lois Lane is gutsy , strong willed reporter. Bosworth was a cold shrewd nasty little bitch.
-
Ang Lee's Hulk was slighlty better than that pile of steaming crap.
-
Jennifer Connelly vs. Liv Tyler?
Jennifer every time. Better (bigger) breasts, better acting ability, better roles.
Nuff said! -
I thought it was one of the better comic book movies and very mature. It's a shame most did not see it that way. While I am a fan of Ed Norton this new casting is sort of, eh. Jennifer Connelly did a great job in Lee's Hulk and it's a shame she won't be returning. I dunno, I am like indifferent about this new Hulk movie right now.
-
Didn't think anyone doing the tired old Hulk Smash thing could make me giggle like a schoolgirl leaning up against a tumbledryer, but you did my friend...
-
She was pretty good in LOTR and she is in my opinion one of the most beautiful actresses working today. She comes across as normal which is important to me. :P
-
She just giggled, pouted her lips, danced in a circle and made gurgling noises while pointing at her nose. She'll do JUST fine.
-
Why replace an actress that can act rings around that dopey eyed elf?
-
Jimmy, from now on, you stay away from me. I've wasted thousands and thousands of kisses on you. Kisses that I thought were special because of your lips and your smile and all of your color and life. I used to think that was the real you when you smiled, but now I know that you don't mean any of it. You just save it for all of your songs. Shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tight.
-
storyline... That'd would be a comic book movie mixed with Gladiator mixed with Conan mixed with a Frazetta painting. And throw tons of aliens into it too.
Unless World War Hulk turns out to be even greater. -
I'm officially underwhelmed. I may have to buy Ang Lee's HULK just to feel better, now.
-
Why can't there be two Bettys? Liv and Jennifer rolling around in green jello. "Hulk must frolick in jello with Bettys!" It could work. Better than a 4 villain showdown...
-
Ang's Hulk was a perfectly serviceable flick. Hell, I really liked it, but I know I'm in the minority. But come on - the essential dumbing down that Marvel seems like they're looking to do to try and roll the dice one more time on this thing being a franchise that will take off to Spider Man ends will wind up like every other mediocre superhero flick they're put out. It's going to fall right in line with Ghost Rider, Daredevil and the Punisher -- which were so palpably noncommittal their banality came off like SciFi channel movies. Say what you will about the first stab at the Hulk, at least it strived for something other than middle of the road, something outside of safe. I still remember and dig Moriarty's defense of it being boring, saying that it was too busy being weird as shit to be boring. Hulk was weird as shit, and even if nothing else worked for you -- well, there's always that. This new one is going to be so standard issue I'm sure Mark Steven Johnson is signing on the dotted line right now.
-
when you put Jennifer Connelly, Posh Spice, Jenna Jameson, Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Portia deRossi and the Olsen Twins in a trash compacter? One whole woman.
-
You can call it a sequel if you like, but it's also a reboot. If Spider-Man ditched at the box office, and they replaced Dunst, Maguire, and Raimi, and went in a new direction, even if they didn't re-film the origin, it would've bee a reboot. Batman Begins is a reboot of a franchise that went down in flames. Superman Returns is not so much a reboot as it's a tribute. Brandon Routh totally played off Christopher Reeve. But SR also wanted to pretend Superman III and IV never happened. New actors, new director, new story direction (and only 2 years later) means reboot. Again, this new Hulk is a REBOOT.
-
HULK SAYS NO MORE PURPLE PANTS! HULK SAYS LET GREEN MONSTER FREE OR HULK SMASH! HULK IS SUCH A PLAYER! FIRST JENNY, NOW LIV! EVERYONE ELSE GREEN WITH ENVY!
-
This is a direct quote from Avi before he left. He said it's a "Do-Over" and not a sequel. EW is reporting it that way. Superherohype is reporting it that way. EVERYONE but AICN is reporting it that way. This has NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING to do with the other Hulk movie, in just the same way that the other Hulk movie had nothing to do with the TV show. This is a NEW story that does not follow the mythology or storyline of the Ang Lee version.
Ang Lee's version was poorly received. GET OVER IT. His "vision" will not continue, and they're wiping the slate clean to start over with a new story. That's all there is to it. There's no "maybe" it's a sequel. It's NOT a sequel, and the producers have said so, no matter how much you wish for it. -
There is no doubt that Liv is beautiful, because she got her looks from her Mom, Bebe Buell. Not to mention, as a singer with her own band, Bebe is pretty incredible- I think she can hold a candle to Steven Tyler any day! I've always been a fan of Aerosmith, so saying Bebe's voice is as good as Steven's is no small compliment.
So I'm pretty happy that Liv got the role.....she has two talented parents and I think she's as cute as can be! But I'll still always have a crush on her Mom -she's the ultimate rock and roll MILF! -
In a sense Lee's Hulk will continue as long as the Hulk continues because Lee just honed in almost to exclusivity the main element of the character which is his internal conflict. That will always be a part of the Hulk. Hopefully now with less navel-gazing. They would not have gotten Norton if they did not intend to make an intelligent movie.
-
Oh course Jennifer Connelly is mind-blowingly hot, but, boy, do I want to start mailing her sandwiches.
-
Can we please see less of the military storyline in this one? Haven't we already established that the military is no match for the Hulk? With today's CGI and the knowledge that the Hulk is the strongest being in the Marvel Universe, let's see some mind-bending carnage and a foe(s) that's worthy of the Hulk!
-
Just curious.
-
STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE...in other words, they get it right the second time out! Here's hoping this holds true for the ol' greenskin goliath!!!
-
That woman is ugly and drains screen energy. This project must be in really desperate shape creatively/financially if this is the best they could hire for this critical role.
-
I hope this movie bombs. I loved Ang Lee's Hulk, and I am pissed off that these asswipes are rebooting the series. The fact that they are replacing ILM with Rythmn and hues for the Visual Effects is the last straw. ILM's Digital Hulk was totally photoreal. OK, the transformation Shots were not great, but apart from a couple little Shots, all the Scenes with Hulk fully transformed was totally photoreal. The Hulk/tank battle in the dessert was mindblowingly real, as was the San Francisco Scene, and all this was in full daylight! Other Scenes like when the Hulk first saw his father, and his father touched his face; as well as when the Hulk picked up Betty and carried her was realistic. The Hulk is ILM's baby. Rythmn and Hues's version of the Hulk will not look as good as ILM's Hulk, and that was back in 2003. What a joke.
-
Hulk has a fever...and only cure is bad sequelitis.
-
Whatever's Arad's got left in the Marvel character franchise is doomed. 'nuff said.
-
The weakest actress in the LOTR series was Liv. Her minimal role in those films that focused as much on her lips as anything was a good move by PJ.
And what else has she really done beyond this? I don't know if connelly foated my boat much. But Liv just doesn't pump oil in my well.
For the record, I thought Ang Lee's hulk had a high amount of suckage in its atomic weight. I hope this new attempt can rise above all of it. Sometimes you need to just let it lie for 5-7 year stretch. -
How did the first hulk movie merit any kind of sequel/remake!! lee's version was visualy great but i felt the story stumble i never got comfortable watching it. with any luck this movie will have better pace.
