Exclusive: Leterrier Talks Hulk Secrets Abomination, 26-minute finale and more!
UPDATED: Now 100% less broken!
By now, you've surely watched the trailer for The Incredible Hulk – if you haven't, go see it here – and you probably have a few questions about what you've seen.
In a huge world exclusive, we spoke to Louis Leterrier, the director of the movie, last night and he guided us through every frame of the teaser. Among other things, he explains to us the new appearance of The Abomination, which differs greatly from the comic book. Here's just a taster of that:
"I really wanted to wrap my head around the original scaley-with-big-ears monster that was in the comic book, but I couldn’t justify it," Leterrier says. "The guy isn’t crossed with a fish; he’s not crossed with a lizard. Just like the Hulk he’s an über-human — his body, everything, grows out...his bones grow thicker and bigger and longer, making him a super-weapon. So he’s got that spine that flares out, which becomes a weapon. He’s got elbows that stick out and become these martial arts, Chinese knives — things that can slash back and forth. He’s got this tongue thing and the heel-spikes… so he’s a killing machine"
He also reveals secrets of the movie's action sequences (26-minute punch-up!), how much Hulk we're going to see (he transforms in minute 3!), and much, much more. Click here to read the interview and have all your Incredible Hulk questions answered.
I am in no doubt that I was one of the few who liked Ang Lee's "The Hulk", not the best film I've ever watched but I still enjoyed it (Albeit the effects were not the best) but I thought the acting was good and it was a little different to what I expected. Anyway the new one looks more like the comics I read back in the day, so I think it will hit the right spot with the fans, I'm glad the jolly Green Giant has been given another shot at the big time, I do hope the quote "you wou...

That interview puts my mind at ease about the film, Leterrier seems to have his head screwed on in terms of the outline of characters and the plot, it does sound better than Ang Lee's creation. And after reading that and watching the trailer back I now am looking forward to this, think the next trailer with finished shots and expanded character profiles will tell the tale of this one. ...

I can't believe the amount of negativity surrounding a 2 minute teaser with unfinished effects shots! Still, people are talking, so must be interested.
I personally can't wait for this. It's going to be a Marvel-ous summer with this, Dark Knight and Iron Man.
None will be worse than Spiderman 3, that's for sure. ... Read More
Man this looks rubbish.... i know the CG isn't finished yet... but it looks like not much has changed from Ang Lee's version (which I thought was awesome). I still can't get over how people can see the casting of Edward Norton as a plus point, I have seen less wooden performances from pinocchio!! Poor show Marvel ... Read More
I can see that there are still a load of twats who can't be bothered reading the interview. Leterrier said that none of the cgi shown in the trailer is finished. Thanks to all you naysayers for stating the bloody obvious. Anyone can say that the effects look shit when the works not complete. ... Read More
The effects look awful at this point and I wouldn't be too sure they're gonna improve that much between now and release date. Unfortunately this looks like just another blockbuster with a load of crappy CGI. I hope I'm wrong because I was really looking forward to this one. ... Read More
