Zak Penn scripting Hulk 2! It's Official!

Wow, I wasn't expecting this. A. W. E. S. O. M. E.

 

hmm... i hope he's good, first really news we've got in 3 years

 

Well, that means we will be getting a Hulk sequel that is a short movie, as Penn doesnt like movies over 2 hrs. Bummer.

 

your s**ting me..really?...

 

No seriously Sava, both the writers of X3 prefer movies under 2 hrs. They both thought X2 was too long. And Simon Kinberg said Batman Begins would have been a better movie with 35 mins shaved off. They both say they have similar minds.

 

well, that just sucks, i dont want a short film, that doesnt exactly mean i want a 3hr one either, some where in the 2hr time should be fine

 

Well, he has had a lot of negative feedback over the run time of X3, so he might make this a little bit longer, we wont know for a while.

 

you know, i think he might also direct this one

 

You know what Sav? i was thinking the exact same thing, he said in his answers on the xverse that he would like to direct a marvel feature in the future and i have a feeling this will be the one as i cannot see anyone they can get.

 

me neither, i havent heard them say anything about the next director, i guess we'll have to wait 6 or so months for that to start

your right, but this is too early, i dont think even Marvel is looking for a director, they'll wait to see that Zak will come up with then, go find someone

 

The more i think about, the more i think i would like Johnathon Mostow to direct this.

 

as a guy who hated... and i mean HATED T3, i dont want this guy anywhere near Hulk 2

 

I think he was in a lose-lose situation with T3 though, anyone who wasnt Cameron could not have done that film better from that script IMO. And Breakdown and U-571 are both good movies as well.

 

He will probably do a big re-write though.

 

No it wont take as long, but i dont want him to rush it as i, and i'm sure all of us, want a great sequel.

 

i agree there, there was no way anyone could replace the great Cameron. I dont really care who's the director now anyway, they need to get the story right first, then the director issue can be sorted out

 

have you read the 1996 script that guy wrote?

 

I didnt even know he wrote a script in 1996.

Even though i'm dissapointed with a lot of aspects of X3 so far, i think Zak may be able to write us a really good sequel if he gets the right time. And Zak, make this one a little longer than X3 please, thanks and good luck.

 

yeah, i want to know if its the one that guy who made the punisher was going to make into a film

 

So we can officially breathe a sigh of relief that Ang Lee won't be back.
