Edward Norton brings Hulk back to big screen

Ok, question for ‘ya: If the endeared word for Spider-man is “Spidey” then what do we call the even more huggable Hulk?

Hulk man? Hulkey? Hulk baby?Well, the answer is simple, we call him “Ed” since Edward Norton has been tapped to play the role of scientist turned super hero Bruce Banner, alias The Incredible Hulk, according to a Marvel Entertainment announcement on April 16."His (Norton) ability to transform into a particular role makes him the ideal choice to take on the character of Bruce Banner-The Hulk," said Kevin Feige, president of production at Marvel Studios.Norton, with two Academy Award nominations for acting under his belt (‘American History X,’ ‘Primal Fear’) will take his turn at playing the gentle (when he is not angry) green giant – a role last played by Eric Bana in Ang Lee’s rendition of the Marvel comic back in 2003. Lee’s version of ‘The Hulk’ only took in $245 million internationally for Universal – a modest take for a blockbuster.New movie to be titled ‘The Incredible Hulk’ will be directed by Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2,’ ‘Danny the Dog’) and is expected to be at a multiplex near you, summer 2008.
