Incredible Set Reports and Filming Updates!

Here's the trasnlation of article above:

RIVER - Bruce Banner walks for the streets of the Slum quarter Tavares Bastos, in the Catete, of coat, pointed hood and knapsack in the coasts. Behind of it, men of black color and metal ring in the hand. It will be the Bope pursuing Hulk? Well that he could... The green monster is in the River in search of the cure for its condition, but it will not have calmness with our troop of the elite. according to script, who pursues it is welded of the Army. It was enough to follow the first day of filming of "The Incredible Hulk", in the tuesday (it sees photos), to believe that policemen of the Battalion of Special Police Operations (Bope) go to give the air of the favour in the hollywoodiana superproduction. It has until similar cenográfico car to the armored, known vehicle as Caveirão. If in the fiction the black color men pursue Banner and its alter-ego Hulk, in the reality, the Bope helps military policemen in the protection of the protagonist Edward Norton and the villain Tim Roth (the Abominable one, in the film), beyond all the production team. The battalion of the Bope is located in the heart of the slum quarter of the Catete, leading until major Vargas, known as "syndic" for the inhabitants, to see of close all movement. The persecution will follow more per ten days in other streets of Rio. and Hulk still will give many returns in the black color men. The escape to the furious giant - lived for one dublê American that it will gain color and size in the computer - for the Arcs of the Lapa is marked for the next tuesday. They say that the aberration still will pass for beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, but is known very little on the details of the production. The Universal studio Pictures and the Marvel make absolute secret das filmings no Brazil. Proíbem presence of the press in set or any interview with actors and production. Already the inhabitants of the Tavares Bastos use to advantage the fame moments. They give to interviews the journalists and they count as the film comes modifying its routines. Many houses had gained repaginada, they had gained flagstone and its owners had received between 50 R$ and R$ 200 for the rent of a terrace. About 150 local people man power and figuração had been contracted for. The production still promises to contribute with R$ 10 a thousand for the construction of the rank of health and donation of computers for escolinha. While this, will have that to coexist the confusion of it goes up-and - goes down of cars for the narrow streets and many shouts of "action". Besides running of the black color men, Edward Norton - known for "other American history", "Club of the fight" and "red Dragon" - gives palpites in the scene and guides the director, the Frenchman Louis Leterrier, of only 34 years and "Dog of fight", with Morgan Freeman, in its resume. The actor, who is in the River since last week, also is scriptwriter of the together film with Zak Penn (of "X-Men" and "Elektra"). Beyond Roth and Norton, the actor William Hurt also is in the city. It is the interpreter of general Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross, the man who dedicates its life to capture Hulk. E, by chance, it is father of namoradinha of Bruce Banner, the beautiful Betty Ross, lived in this film for Liv Tyler (of "Gentleman of rings"). A good notice for the fans: this second adaptation of the Incredible Hulk is not the continuation of the 2003 production, directed for covered with star Ang Lee and for Eric Bana and Jennifer Connelly. Of this time, the studios promise to more action and little computation. The long one has estréia foreseen for 13 of June of 2008 in U.S.A. __________________

Sweet pics.

Will we see the Hulk in Rio or just Banner?

We will see Hulk aswell as Banner. Hulk will be causing a lot of destruction in Brazil.

Thanks for the pics. Who's directing Norton or Letterier?:ninja:

I thought that Norton would act like he is directing this movie when he came to the project and wrote the screenplay. I thought that LL would be pushed away cos he is a new director but I doubt it.

Norton and LL are both working hard on this project together. They know who is the actor in this film and who is the director. I'm sure they both are helping each other and working together closely but LL still will have authority.
 
Leterrier has been behind the camera and prior to that working under Luc Besson for quite some time. He knows what he's doing. He's just got a very very on hands actor which is good.
 
I think this is a better translation of that news story from Rio:

<H1>Shooting intensifies in Rio slum - and the locals love it

At some point this week a grimacing, muscle-bound colossus wearing skin-tight purple jeans will charge into a hilltop shantytown in Rio de Janeiro and send locals scattering for cover.

In a city where heavily armed drug gangs engage in frequent turf wars this might not seem so strange. In this case, however, intruder in question will have fluorescent green skin and will go by the name of the Incredible Hulk.

Welcome to Tavares Bastos, a hilltop slum in the south of Rio that has been transformed into a shantytown answer to Hollywood. The filming of the Incredible Hulk, the sequel to Hulk (2003), began here on Tuesday, marking a dramatic turnaround for an area that just seven years ago was controlled by armed drug traffickers.

Life began changing for locals in August 2000 when police special forces invaded an abandoned casino above the favela and turned it into their HQ. Police say the traffickers soon fled.
Today Rio's special forces use the area for training and the community is considered so safe it has become the location of choice for Brazilian film-makers and soap opera producers. On Saturday the Fight Club star Edward Norton visited the shantytown, where he will play the Hulk. According to reports in the local press there was not a security guard in sight.
Before the Incredible Hulk, Tavares Bastos provided the backdrop for a BBC documentary presented by the Beatles' producer, George Martin, and a Snoop Dogg music video.

More recently scenes of Elite Squad, a film about the battle between drug traffickers and police, were filmed here. As well as being an open-air film studio, the slum is developing a tourism industry.

At the forefront of the rejuvenation is Bob Nadkarni, a British expat who owns a sprawling, white-concrete pousada at the heart of the slum and hosts weekly jazz sessions popular with tourists. This week members of the Incredible Hulk's cast stayed there. Brazil's army is also using the favela's back-alleys to prepare its UN stabilisation force in Haiti for urban combat. Some locals grumble about the noise provoked by blank shots or the difficulty they have in parking. But most say the boost to security and the economy far outweighs any disturbance. Cecilia de Jesus Ruas, 70, who was born in Tavares Bastos, has rented her top floor as storage space to the crew. And the delight at having new neighbours is not hers alone. "My grandson couldn't believe it when he found out the Hulk was coming," she said.

^Huh, neat. Some really interesting stuff. I had tried reading the first translation last night, but was feeling a bit sickly trying to make any sense of it and gave up. But this gives me a whole new impression of the movie and sheds insight as to reason for shooting in Rio, insofar as the Hulk himself is concerned. And that is, I'd never really given much thought to the fact that Rio is or has been widely regarded as the gang/drug capital of the world, but what better location to establish the Hulk's legitimacy as a "hero" than a place where drugs/violence have had (or still hold, as is widely the perception among people) such a stronghold? In plainer terms, what better place for the Hulk to smash one of the largest problems that plagues society before setting off for America to eventually smash an even larger problem (i.e., Abomination)?

I mean, it may sound hokey - like, what legitimacy as a tough guy does Hulk really need? - and that just because he's in Rio doesn't mean he eradicates the problem of drugs, gangs, violence, etc. But the symbolism of just him being there and taking out a gang in the process, to me, is enough. It lends to the drama, if that says it better, and beating up a gang anywhere else would probably translate as pretty ordinary.

It's also a bit revealing as to the ongoing efforts to clean up the city's image and that's great to hear, if true. A nice gesture to shoot the movie there and stimulate the economy.
