SPOILERS BEGIN
Story details are as follows:
Character roll call: Bruce Banner, Blonsky (crazed soldier turned Abomination), General Ross, Betty Ross, Dr. Samson (Bettys live-in boyfriend), Dr. Sterns (a cellular biologist trying to help Bruce) and Major Kathleen Kat Sparr (Rosss right-hand woman).
In the opening sequence, we find a man (unknown to the reader but its presumably Bruce Banner) walking in snow, surrounded by snow. He slouches to his knees, gun in his hand, attempting suicide. The trigger is pulled but a flash of green stops the bullet flat and it falls to the ground.
Fast forward 5 years. Banner is in Brazil working at a bottling plant staying under the radar in hiding. Living a quite, invisible, life Banner is searching for exotic flowers that he believes will help destroy the gamma radiation in his blood to end the struggle hes lived with for the past 5 years. He tries desperately to always remain calm through the use of mediation and a pulse monitor.
Banner has a funny little run in with some Brazilian heavies who are harassing a lady co-worker. Due to Banners poor handle on the Portuguese language his threats arent threats at all, they are actually funny lines that cause the heavies to pull a WTF? Luckily Bruce stays calm enough to make it through.
While working, Bruce is cut and a drop of his blood falls into one of the bottles that gets shipped out for sale. A woman in Minnesota drinks the juice and almost dies. The gamma is detected in her blood and this alerts the military, General Ross in particular and Cabot. They organize a team, headed up by Blonsky, to find where the drink was bottled and to apprehend a white man in the area.
The team finds Banner in bed, but he is smarter and quicker than they think and he leads them on a chase around town. Coincidentally the same heavies who had a run-in with Banner earlier are out drinking and join in the chase to beat Banners ass. It doesnt take long for the Hulk to rear his ugly greenish grey head and basically crush everything and everyone (literally) in his path. He escapes to smash another day. Banner heads back to the States to find help through Dr. Sterns, striving to put right what once went wrong, within himself and with Betty.
Upon arriving in the States, Banner heads to his old stomping grounds, back to where it all began, to get his data and find Dr. Sterns. Instead, he finds Betty. He quickly leaves out the back door of a restaurant when she sees him, but she chases after him until he agrees to come over to her house to talk.
After talking with Betty and her live-in boyfriend Samson, Betty is driving Bruce to the bus station, on the way he wants to stop back at the university. Big mistake, the military and General Ross finds him and a big battle ensues. Betty is injured (Hulk saves her) and they finds themselves on the run together.
In the meantime, Blonsky was crushed by Hulk, but due to the super soldier wacky sauce hes been shooting up he heals and is stronger than ever. Ross shoots him up a little more to make sure hes strong enough for another round with Hulk.
They head to New York to find Dr. Sterns. He has developed an anti-dote of sorts for Bruce that works to bring him back to normal during a flare up. Unfortunately, Ross and his men catch up with them and Bruce and Betty are taken into custody. Blonsky has his own ulterior motives and makes Sterns shoot him up with the super gamma serum hes developed from Bruces blood. This turns him into Abomination and he begins to destroy the city.
The only one who can stop him is Bruce Ross agrees. Monster on Monster action ensues!

2008 PREVIEW: THE INCREDIBLE HULK MOVIE
Director Louis Leterrier gets mean and green with Ed Norton, the Abomination and tons of fanboy Easter eggs
By Danny Spiegel
Posted December 27, 2007 5:00 PM
Dont make director Louis Leterrier angry. You wont like him when hes angry.
Although, to be honest, we have no idea what hes like when hes angry, because when we spoke with him recently about helming The Incredible Hulkhitting theaters June 13he was perfectly nice and charming (the French accent also helped). Since this is a total relaunch for the character, we thought we might irritate him slightly with questions about Ang Lees 2003 film about the green goliath, but, really, everything was fine.
I just came back from Brazil, says Leterrier, so Im a little frazzled by the whole shooting experience. Its a big movie. We got everything we wanted and more. We didnt cheap out.
Leterrier, best known for the action-packed Transporter films, is truly excited about his new Bruce Banner (Edward Norton, who also co-wrote the screenplay), Betty Ross (Liv Tyler), General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), and of course his new villain, Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), the Abomination-to-be.
WIZARD: Next years The Incredible Hulk, with Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, is a total relaunch for the franchise, but are there any elements from the 2003 film?
LETERRIER: No, not at all, but that being said, I have huge respect for Ang Lee and his movies, so I didnt want to offend people that loved the first movie. We dont go against anything that the first one established, but its brand new, a fresh start.
Will we see any of the Hulks origin retold here?
LETERRIER: No, but youll understand through memories and flashbacks.
Whats the story of this film?
LETERRIER: Its the story of a more weathered and savvy Bruce Banner [and] his drive is to find a cure. [And] its a manhunt. General Ross is the villain, but the AbominationEmil Blonskywas who Marvel wanted to put in this chapter of our new saga because hes an enemy that can actually threaten the Hulk. I didnt feel in Ang Lees Hulk, for example, that there was any threat. He was invincible. So with Abomination theres a monster that can actually kill him when hes in the Hulk form.
How are you handling the Abominations origin?
LETERRIER: Emil Blonsky, when he first came about, was very much a Cold War-painted Russian spy. We couldnt do this. We created a plot having Emil Blonsky as a soldier realizing that he was at the end of his career, physically, and meeting the Hulk and seeing the power that Bruce Banner had and deciding to ask if he could go one-on-one against him because he had nowhere to go. Thats why we decided to cast Tim Roth, because hes got that vicious, smart way about him.
Does Emil subject himself to gamma exposure, or is Emil a guinea pig?
LETERRIER: He subjects himself. Its gamma-based. Its very important that both monsters are the same thing. Both men are opposite sides of the same coin. Bruce Banner doesnt like this power within, and the other man, Emil Blonsky, wants this power but cannot get it and eventually will meet somebody that can give it to him.
Will the Abomination have those crazy ears like in the comic?
LETERRIER: Yeah, we are keeping the ears. Were making them a little different [though]. Actually, when I was hired, I came to Marvel with my own take, a more modern take, on the monster. There was something reptilian about the original Abomination that didnt make sense. There was no reptile mix in his origin, so I just changed it and made it like the über-human. Its a human that was injected in the wrong places with something, and these places are growing differently. It still has the general shape of the Abomination, but theres something realistic that I wanted to put in it.
Can we be secure, though, that he is still disgustingly ugly?,/B>
LETERRIER: [Laughs] Oh, yeah. Actually, this morning we were doing visual effects, [and] we were like, Ooh, a little bit too ugly, actually. We are taking it back.
Tim Roth is a very committed actor. In that spirit, is he stomping around the set yelling at people?
LETERRIER: [Laughs] No, not at all. Actually, Tim had a blast. It was a nice change because hes used to very serious and hard roles, and for him it was a vacation. Hes the one who wanted to do more of his own stunts and have more fun because he said, I want my kids to see that. He had so much fun.
Will the character of Samuel Sterns be appearing as the Leader, or will he be set up for a possible sequel?
LETERRIER: Hes being set up. Hes the Wizard of Oz of our whole story.
Is he creating Abomination?
LETERRIER: Uh, possibly the Abomination is a creation of many things gone wrong at the same time.
But Sterns doesnt get exposed to gamma rays in this movie?
LETERRIER: No, we set him up for the sequel. But its like [Doc] Samson, same thing. We set him up for the sequel. I didnt want to put too many villains [in the film]. But I wanted Bruce Banner to cross their path to introduce them for future episodes.
In terms of the look and shape of the Hulk, how would you compare the CGI from the 2003 film to yours?
LETERRIER: In the first one, they did a great job [but] there was no weight to him. He was flying around and it was very poetic, but our movie is grittier. When I offered my services to do the job, I said I want everything to be gritty, darker, even a little scarier. Frankenstein, King Kong these monsters are pretty scary. Theyre not smooth-looking, fluorescent-green-looking characters. Theyre pretty dark and, still, within, theres a tenderness and a humanity that you can see through them.
In the first one, the Hulk was sort of an extrapolation of Eric Banas face. Is it the same here with Edward Norton?
LETERRIER: We actually didnt start [from] Edwards face because we started the Hulks design before we got Edward. So once we were comfortable with the overall design, then we added some of Edwards features in it. Like, for example, in our movie, he has a scar on the cheek and his jaw, and he has a little mole on the right side of his mouth. We added that on. Very subtle things. And his haircut, obviously.
I hear that the Hulk in this version has a mullet. Is that right or is that just a bad rumor?
LETERRIER: A mullet? No, no. [Laughs] I make fun of that. I say sometimes that he has a mullet. No, he doesnt have a mullet at all. He has longer hair because Bruce Banner is on the run and he doesnt get his hair cut often. He has very dirty hair, but no mullet at all. You know, its funny that you say that because this morning I was saying, Lengthen the back of the hair but be careful so it doesnt look like a mullet.
Were you a comic fan growing up?
LETERRIER: Yeah, I was, but it was more the French or Belgian comic book school, you know, like Blueberry and Tintin.
What was your first exposure to the Hulk?
LETERRIER: Well, we had those comic books, but my real first exposure was the TV show. Thats why its so close to my heart. Its very human. Its really about the character, the Bill Bixby/David Banner character.
Any favorite episode?
LETERRIER: When hes a bouncer at a disco. Its really funny. [Laughs]
Is there any way you can get that sad walking away music from the end of each episode into the film?
LETERRIER: Actually, yeah. We got the rights so thatll be in the movie. The composer is Joe Harnell. Dah dah dah Let me play it for you. Hold on, Ive got it. Listen. [Plays sad Hulk music] Thats the one! [Laughs]
Thats awesome. Have you ever had the opportunity to talk with Kenneth Johnson, the executive producer of that series?
LETERRIER: No, but, actually, we have a friend in common so I definitely want to meet him. Now I know Lou Ferrigno pretty well. It was so great to meet Lou Ferrigno. Its so weird when you get to meet your childhood heroes. Its, like, Oh my God
So I take it that Lou Ferrigno has a cameo?
LETERRIER: Yeah. Its a fun cameo. Its a little bit meatier than what he had in the first one [as a security guard]. Hes just the nicest guy and he was so excited to come on board. It was funny to see Edward Norton and Lou Ferrigno act together. Its two different techniques: Edward is very thought outand Lou, it was just, like him. I loved it.
Is Stan Lee making a cameo?
LETERRIER: Yeah, but Stan Lee is the busiest man alive. He didnt make the cameo yet but we havent finished shooting. I spoke to him the other day and whenever we do [another] shoot, hell do a cameo there.
So you havent met him in person yet.
Im very shy and very intimidated by Stan Lee. did the [San Diego] Comic-Con panel and he came on the Iron Man panel [separately] but I was backstage and I could see him. I was like, Its Stan LeeIm so excited!
Are there any special Hulk comics that were a particular inspiration for you?
LETERRIER: Hulk: Gray, the Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale one, was a big inspiration for me. Its so graphic and so perfect in its composition. Thats what got me back into the mood of the Hulk. When my agent called me and said, Do you want to remake the Hulk? I went to a comic book store and I picked up Hulk: Gray. Thats what made me hungry to do another Hulk movie. So there will be Hulk: Gray references, but also there will be Bruce Jones, Peter David [references] Its chock-full of references
