I work for a production company and this is what I will share with you. Some of it you may know and some you might not. It will answer questions with any doubt. Okay, at the time of the release of Hulk in 2003, producer Avi Arad had already discussed the intent for making a sequel, with a script written originally by James Schamus featuring the Leader and the Abomination as the villains. On January 18, 2006 Arad confirmed that Marvel would be making the film, with Universal distributing. At Comic-Con 2006, director Louis Leterrier and screenwriter Zak Penn, were announced to be making the The Incredible Hulk movie. It will follow up Ang Lee's Hulk, but the film will be re-interpreted to be closer to the comic book, being more similar to the TV series or Bruce Jones' run on the comic. Leterrier liked (ugh!) the original film but that felt that trying to copy Lee's style would be an enormous disaster (good thing). Leterrier said that he plans to show Bruce Banner's struggle with the monster within him and also said that the Hulk would be more strongly portrayed as a hero than in the previous film, with producer Kevin Feige adding that the film would explore, "that element of wish fulfillment, of overcoming an injustice or a bully and tapping into a strength that you didn't quite realize you had in yourself." Arad also said the film would be "a lot more of a love story between Bruce Banner and Betty Ross." Leterrier chose the Abomination as a villain, describing him as an "anti-Hulk", though the character will only be known by his alter-ego Emil Blonsky, as Penn felt the name "Abomination" was too silly. Ideas about the Leader are for Hulk 3. In February 2007, Leterrier was scouted shooting locations in Toronto and Vancouver, choosing Toronto later in the month because the other soundstages/studios were not big enough. Filming is set to begin in June 2007 and will last until October 24. The budget, will be about $120 million. Leterrier said he plans to use make-up (Legendary Stan Winston and concept art by Aaron Sims) and animatronics in combination with CGI (computer generated imagery) that had solely been used to portray the Hulk in the previous film. Rhythm and Hues are providing the CGI, due to being well known for their character animation. Industrial Light and Magic who created the Hulk in the 2003 film are not being used. Stylistically, the filmmakers chose a different shade of green from the previous film and decided to not make him as large (9-10 feet only). Any questions?
