After praising Lee as a genius, Arad observes that "the Hulk movie was a study of anger, and people wanted a popcorn movie." Lee's film focused on the Hulk's origins - Bruce Banner's abusive father, his mutated DNA, the gamma ray accident that gave him the power to transform into a walking steroid attack. It was dark and intense, and Banner didn't even do his Hulk bit until nearly halfway through the film. "Our Hulk," Arad says, "will be a diet Hulk. Lighter. Focusing on the love story, Hulk as hero, and his battle with the villain."

For that villain, Arad has chosen one of his favorite baddies: Abomination, a former Yugoslav spy who has mutated into a 980-pound freak of terrifying strength and unpleasant demeanor. "He's capable of amazing feats," Arad says, eyes gleaming. And if Arad is right and the Hulk sequel or some of Marvel's other self-made films break into blockbuster territory, people will be saying the same thing about him someday.

thats all good, Abomination is the perfect villain for a action packed sequel, diet Hulk i dont mind either. I just hope they forget the "Bruce learning to live with Hulk" thing .... and the man in suit idea too

I like this

"Arad is musing about the Hulk, whom many Hollywood observers now believe has the inside track to be the star of Marvel's debut self-made film. It would be an interesting choice, given that Ang Lee's version was a box office disappointment. But Arad thinks he knows what went wrong, and he has a plan for fixing it."

The debut film. That should mean that they will go to all lenghts to get it right.

Edit: Good find adamcz

Yeah I hope they stay with CG. A new costume/look is no different than recasting an actor. Hopefully they can keep Bana as the leading actor too. I want a true sequel that just happens to emphasize action more.

[Odin's Lapdog]

[Sava]

[Odin's Lapdog]

31213 to be more precise but you get the idea

 

[El Payaso]

And painfully regretting they didn't do it before.

Bruce Banner getting along with his Hulk condition = Anti-Hulk.

that will be the biggest f**kup ever

 

[HoratioRome]

very interesting. This could be good if indeed the problem has been Marvel's lack of creative control.
The problem is that I no longer trust marvel because they've even sold out these characters in the comics.
With the ultimates, and other such changes, it's hard to even recognize these characters anymore.
So if they can't remain faithfull in the comics I'm not sure they will in the movies either.
And the LAST thing I want to see is a gray, girl raping, human eating Hulk on the big screen.

here's hoping they understand the magic starts with LEE/KIRBY.
oh and DITKO

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Arad is still blaming the audience??? he obviously doesn't get it.

he didnt ... he actually admitted that they did things wrong and that he'll fix it.

 

[The Kid]

yay, I hope it's as good as fantastic four. He should get story to direct. That movie was great even though I never saw it nor will.

95% of the time I think I am. I'm no Zev (coolest internet person ever) though so it's not "ha ha, joking." more like "wtf joking" something like screwed up logic... they have a fancy name for that but I forgot it.

Anyway, Let's get ready Batman and Robin eat your heart out. Hulk 2's on the way.

 

[Sava]

are we gonna get Hulk nipples?

 

[El Payaso]

No Hulk's butt close-ups. No Schumacher.

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

Oh yeah now that Ang Lee won an Oscar, the Hulk movie was okay after all.
