Answering script questions: DO NOT OPEN UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPOIL THE WHOLE MOVIE

Can anyone who's read the script tell me if there's going to be any comic relief in TIH and, if there is, where it comes from? It's not a major concern, but I tend to worry that this movie will register with people in much the same way as Ang's Hulk did - as being too heavy. And from the trailer, I don't deduce that any of the main actors are particularly skilled at humor or that the script even allows for it. The opening one-on-one conversation between Samson and Banner is as serious as a heart attack. Betty is a mute. The Leader dude seems a little bit whacky... but not funny. And General Ross speaks one line that only heightens the tension. I suppose the one military dude who reacts with "What the hell was that?!" to A-bomb also deserves honorable mention... but then, he's not exactly funny either.

Or am I just in left field for even wanting humor? I guess I'm looking at other successful movies of late and hoping TIH follows their lead. In Transformers, for example, whether you loved it or hated it, the improv acting greatly lent some much-needed comic relief and it really seemed to resonate with people. And in other comic book movies, you have the geeky-ness of Toby Maguire, the nerdiness of Brandon Routh, the charm of Christian Bale, the sarcasm of Robert Downey Jr. and the sharp wit of Ron Perlman to provide balance to the stress of the tasks at hand. Heck, even Hugh Jackman can be funny when a well placed line of humor contrasts with his tough-guy image. But I'm looking over the cast of TIH actors and I just don't see it.

Is Norton or anyone else even capable of making us laugh? Did they go overboard with the degree of seriousness they were going for? They've said they were going for Batman Begins, in terms of an approach, and that they wanted more smash... but from the trailer, I gather that it's ONLY smash and/or seriousness, which, I'm sorry, I don't think the masses will enjoy a whole lot.

From what I've read...yes, there is humor. In the right spots too.
 
I have heard the movie is based on this script which is fine with me.

But i was expecting more than just 3 transformations in the movie.

How many action scenes are there in the movie? I mean hulk action.

Well, if he transforms three times, then it stands to reason that there will be three scenes of Hulk action.
 
Yep, three pretty long scenes featuring the Hulk. I doubt each scene will be less than ten minutes long.
 
So does Hulk say anything in it or what? At least Hulk Smash?

In Norton's first draft, Hulk had [BLACKOUT]one line which was him kinda whispering "Betty"[/BLACKOUT] but this could have changed and [BLACKOUT]he could have more lines[/BLACKOUT] cos LL said that there was a scene in the extended trailers where Hulk is yelling "Betty!" but all he was doing was snarling.

Not too sure on the changes made but if you wanna go by the first draft he just has [BLACKOUT]one line[/BLACKOUT] if you can call it that.

But I think Penn's original draft had Hulk AND Abomination talking quite considerable amounts, it seems that Norton changed these things.

There's quite a large number of hulk scenes in the movie
We have the very beginning of the movie where banner tries to blow his own brains out, the factory fight, the college campus fight, a scene set in a cave with betty and hulk, the final fight as well as various flashes of hulk in flashbacks

I think so. I can't remember entirely from the script but I think he regenerates from heavy damage from the battle at the college campus and a lot against Abomination.

Well, it only took just under a week, but glad someone cared to reply. Thanks and back at'cha.



Thank you also. Can you elaborate more on who makes for the humor? I just can't see Norton being funny.

**SPOILER**
There's a scene where a guard tells Banner, "SIT DOWN" and Banner replies, "Shoot me...let's see what happens."

During Hulk and Abomb's battle there's little quips by civilians like a mom telling her child, "See honey, this is why I tell you never to go past 82nd street."

Betty and Banner are in a cab and Betty gets mad at the cabbie...they get out and Banner tells her, "You know, I think I've got some anger management techniques that could help you."

There's others too but I can't recall them at this point.

Sup JJ, yeah, this movie will have its quips, I just never wanted to be like FF2 where it was so over done with jokes it ruined the movie.
 
*jumps on the begging bandwagon* :bow:

Could I get a copy of this from someone, please?
