“THE HULK” IS IN TROUBLE

It seems pretty remarkable that "The Incredible Hulk" opens in just 12 weeks, yet no one has seen any good footage or pictures or even a real damn poster. The movie cost 150 million dollars, yet Universal doesn't seem to be promoting it at all. Why would that be? Maybe because the movie has real problems right now, mostly Ed Norton, who once again is thinking he's way more talented than he really is. The fantastic website Deadline Hollywood says:

Norton and Marvel are clashing over how to cut the pic. Insiders say Norton was "promised tremendous involvement and access" after Marvel invited him into the core team to rewrite Zak Penn's script. Says one insider, "There's a lot of posturing going on between Edward's camp and Marvel over how you edit the final version." Sources also tell me that, starting last night and continuing at least throughout today, the actor will be holed up with Marvel Studios chairman David Maisel, Marvel Studios president of production Kevin Feige, and director Louis Leterrier to try to "reach an amicable resolution" to this $150+ million film feud.

Ed Norton is an idiot. I think. He mumbles almost always and I can never understand anything the fuck he says so maybe he's really fantastic and I just don't know it. The only time he's coherent or believable is when he's yelling or has some showy actor-y crutch and that shit is easy. The Ed Norton school of acting is just, "ooh, look at me, I'm blind, I'm looking 6 inches to the left of you, because I'm blind. Where's that cup? I don't know, I'm blind, let me feel around for it." Or, "duh, I'm a retard. See, my fork has a cork on the end and my polo shirt is buttoned all the way up. And the third button is in the hole for the second button, making it askew. Because retards don't understand buttons." This guy is a jackass. Everyone knows Zak Penn wrote this script yet Norton says he did. Just because he changed it doesn't mean he wrote it. I could draw big tits on the Mona Lisa, that doesn't mean I can say I painted the Mona Lisa. I just made that shit hot.
