Hulk Smash Puny Helicopters! That's the caption for the latest image from the "Hulk" movie, published by Entertainment Weekly. The image shows jade jaws ready to hurl a chunk of concrete at a swarm of helicopters that, no doubt, just won't leave Hulk alone.
And here is a sample from the article in which director Ang Lee talks about making the character come to life...
Yet the $100 million-plus production's most hulking obstacle was its completely computer-generated (and thus nonexistent) title character. ''To me, there was never any other way to go. I mean, where are you going to find a 15-foot green actor?'' says producer Gale Anne Hurd (''Terminator 2''), who's been trying to make a Hulk movie for 12 years. (Marvel's bankruptcy and shuffles at Universal slowed development.) So the cast had to use its imagination -- except for the man playing Bruce Banner. ''I got the easy part -- I got to act with human beings,'' says Bana, whom Lee cast after seeing his acclaimed turn as a psycho in the 2000 Australian indie ''Chopper.'' ''The bizarre thing for me was that this movie was basically just a traditional drama.''
Following the five-month shoot, Lee retreated to San Francisco to oversee Industrial Light & Magic's animation of the Hulk, whose size and skin tone fluctuate (depending on how cranky he is) throughout the film. There have been complications; green, for example, ''can make you look like a toy,'' says Lee. ''When this is over, anything green is going to make me want to Hulk out.'
