Incredible Hulk 2008 - Scientist Bruce Banner desperately
hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and
unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk. Living in
the shadows--cut off from a life he knew and the woman he loves,
Betty Ross--Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his
nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross, and the military machinery that
seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power. As all three
grapple with the secrets that led to The Hulk's creation, they are
confronted with a monstrous new adversary known as The Abomination,
whose destructive strength exceeds even The Hulk's own. To stop it,
one scientist must make an agonizing final choice: accept a peaceful
life as Bruce Banner or find heroism in the creature he holds
inside--The Incredible Hulk.
Incredible Hulk 2008 Facts
The Hulk, as portrayed in the 2008 film, was
created through a blend of animatronics, make-up and CGI (by Rhythm &
Hues) with motion capture by the title actor Edward Norton. Hulk
(2003)'s VFX were carried out by Industrial Light & Magic, with its
director Ang Lee providing motion-capture.
Although director Louis Leterrier liked Hulk
(2003), he concurred with Marvel Studios that to continue the
franchise it would be better to deviate from Ang Lee's style from the
first film and focus on a more action-filled tone. He also believed
that in keeping with Hulk (2003)'s poetic feel, the VFX were mostly
"a fluorescent-green guy who was simply flying around; he had no
weight and was too smooth-looking," so he wished to make the film's
VFX grittier and darker "and perhaps even a little scarier!"
Edward Norton Quote - "I don't think that in great
literature/films explaining the story's roots means it comes in the
beginning. Audiences know the story, so we're dealing with it
artfully."
Longtime Hulk comic character Doc Samson was added
by Edward Norton to the script.
General Ross mentions that the serum Blonsky uses
to become the Abomination was created during World War II. This is a
reference to Marvel Comics' next film
Captain America (2009) , who was created with the use of a
special serum (very likely the same serum Ross mentions).
Additionally, the person who takes the serum must be treated with a
unique form of radiation; any accidents or deviations from the
procedure can cause horrific side effects to occur... as befalls
Blonsky.
