The Incredible Hulk
Now that we have all seen the first trailer for The Incredible Hulk, director Louis Leterrier has popped up to discuss what it was that we saw.
The Incredible Hulk Trailer
The good people at Empire have posted 11 screenshots from The Incredible Hulk trailer with description/discussions from Louis Leterrier.
[On Tim Roth's Character]
Tim Roth is Emil Blonsky, who becomes Abomination. He’s an ace, but he’s an ace that is kind of over the hill. I really wanted to work with Tim Roth; he’s an amazing actor and he’s extraordinary on the screen. When I met Tim I was like, “God!” He was so good and had so much energy that I said, “Blomsky must be Tim Roth.” I had to push — Marvel, Edward, everybody was hesitant to get Tim, but he really added a new dimension to the character. He is the opposite of Bruce Banner — he’s a fighter, he’s a machine, he’s a very effective, cool-as-a-cucumber soldier that is over the hill – 38, 39 years old – has finished his life as a soldier, should be a Colonel by now and has never accepted that failure. He loves being a fighter, loves being on the field.
The slideshow is pretty dang informative; maybe even more so than the trailer.
The Incredible Hulk opens to theaters on June 13th.
