Well, I nominate Patterson! Didn't I read somewhere that you resemble the Hulk avatar you use on COW? BTW, do you have a pic of you in your jacket? I'd like to see what a 52" chested Indy jacket looks like...

Heard on tv yesterday that Edward Norton is gonna play Bruce Banner/Hulk

[pitfallharry]

I just saw that last night as well. I liked Bana in Hulk but in my mind I thought he looked a little to "buff" to play Bruce Banner. Banner in the books is kind of a nerd and he's thin. I think Norton is a terrific actor and physically fits this role better.

I've also heard that the FX department that worked on The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe has totally redesigned the look of the Hulk for this new film. I'm really excited about this one. Marvel is actually financing this film a long with a bunch of others now because they want more creative control of their characters on the big screen.

I'm still hoping this is a restart though. They keep mentioning it's a sequel but I'd like them to go back to the original origin of character and have him caught in some kind of explosion. The previous movie's origin was to convoluted and for some people it was hard to follow.

Norton is a good actor and I'm sure he can pull off the physically wimpy Banner role. He is an excellent choice to depict inner turmoil and rage. For the Hulk, I wish they would just use a real muscle man in makeup instead of a CGI cartoon. They could even use the effects to make the Hulk actor appear 10 feet tall. They could do that through the computer but also by having him rampage on slightly scaled down sets as in LOTR. They did a really great job with Mr. Hyde in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by using a guy in a suit and mostly old fashioned techiques. I just dread another cartoony Hulk.

[Tyrloch]

I still say they should use Patterson, where is he, by the way? I haven't seen him on the board since the thing with Platon...I'd really like to see a guy with a 52" chest that didn't have a 62" belly to go with it...
