Louis Leterrier Talks Hulk

I really appreciate what Leterrier said here. He seems to have respect for Ang's film but addresses it's shortcomings in a very constructive way.

 

wow, didn't realize they'd include the Leader.

 

That's nice of Leterrier to be respectful of Ang's film, and supporters. Good interview.

 

Interesting interview. I wonder how they changed the script from the one circulated.

Regarding what he states about Ang Lee, it is as if it was written in a script because he attempts to distance himself from it while attaching validity to the project. The guy could make a good politician.

 

probaley setting him up for possible sequels which is always works better than a villian just appearing from knowhere

 

So is it a sequel or a re-boot?

 

I like that Louis wants to give him some vulnerability. That was a huge turn off for me in the first movie. Sure he's nearly unstoppable but you need at least some sense of vulnerability.

 

No it's called class, something far more film-makers and professionals should have.

 

I totally agree! That was always my major grind with the first movie. Hulk was not challenged enough. Even in Spiderman 1 he had Green Goblin as a villain and I believe that was one of the things that made the film a success. When it come to superhero films you must have a supervillain to challenge them. If all you have is humans with guns the film will be boring. And it would be difficult to have a nail biting climax IMO.

 

Well written. We need to believe in our hero and how can you be a hero with no danger involved.

 

At this point, i don't think even the film makers know.

And the why the hell did Letterier refer to General Ross as elements of the Ang Lee film he was keeping, as if Ross is exclusively a part that Ang came up with? :huh; Ross is part of the Hulk universe period, just like Commissioner Gorden is in Batman, and J Jonah is in Spiderman.......

 

On the whole sequel vs reboot...
I think TIH will simply be a new cast, direction, and feel for the Hulk..but it won't contradict anything in the first film.
So in essence if you want to consider it a sequel, it won't outright vilolate that idea, and if not, you have that option too.

That works.

And I believe thats the kind of direction Burton took with BR. Where he didnt go the route of making a direct sequel, but rather take the franchise into a different, and new direction. Where the viewer really did not have to see the previous film to enjoy it. Although with Hulk, I'm sure the change in direction will be even more apparent.

 

Yeah, that really works!

 

Ha ha, i was only kidding.

But yeah, i agree with your points, Ross has been a factor in the Hulk comics for decade's before it was in the movie, and if LL is as big a fan as he claims, he should know this.

 

I think he was honest.
