The Incredible Hulk: Connections with Comic Book and Tv Show

[SpaghettiHULK]

Well, now it's clear that this movie will be a "mixture" of the CB and the TV Show(and, maybe, the first movie that is still an "incarnation" of The Hulk).
But, in your opinion, wich those elements will be?
For example: Leonard Samson(that is a character from the CB) will be in it.
Samuel Sterns too.
I think Jack McGee will be in it. Not Rick Jones.
The theme by Joe Harnell will come up in some way...

then?

I don't think Jones will be a go until this whole thing comes around again in 10-15 years with another origin story(a faithful one this time, dammit!).

Where'd you hear about McGee? I'd prefer not to have him but I won't let it ruin my day if they stick him in there.

 

[Golgo-13]

So who would you guys prefer, McGee? Or Rick?

I think the fact that everyone knows who the Hulk is and that Banner is a publicly know fugutive in TIH,takes away from the McGee angle of the tv series.

 

[The Joker_1000]

Both, actually. I wouldn't mind having both in the film but you never know, Rick Jones could get thrown into the mix.

 

[Judson Caspian]

I think Jack McGee will be in it. Not Rick Jones.

I think it's the other way around.

The things I want from the TV show
1. That lonely and tragic aspect of Banner in the show.
2. The unique theme music.
3. The freakin' eyes and music when Banner's about to hulk out.
4. The cool and atmospheric mood of the show.

Comics:
1. A cool CGI adaptation of the Hulk himself!
2. Characters from the books like Rick Jones!
3. Mind-blowing epic action from the comics!

Banner should be as humanitarian as Bill Bixby was in the TV-show. I liked his take very much because of that. This is where Eric Bana failed.

Rick is a a primary character in the comic, just like Betty. If a cast for him isn't came out yet...

on the other hand, Jack McGee can be a smaller part(in some episode he was just marginal). I know that The Hulk in the movie will not be a "Sasquatch" being like in the TV Show... but there's a lot of fugitives around the world, McGee can be an aggressive reporter from an important Newspaper(just not a scandalistic magazine).

agreed. That is what made Bixby's Banner so empathetic and heroic. He is one of the greatest scientific minds in the world, has the ability and desire to help people..but he has to be careful about it as well because his dark siide could bust out if he becomes caught up in whatever confilict it might be. Very conflicted and deep character and luckily they are playing this up in the movie.

this is the primary reason because I can't see him working on an atomic bomb in 2007.
