Edward Norton on His Version of The Incredible Hulk

Edward Norton stars in The Incredible Hulk, hitting theaters this June.

And the talented actor wants to make one thing clear: this version is nothing like the past film, starring Eric Bana, about the green, angry super hero.

“First off it’s utterly unrelated to that film,” Norton said in this month’s Total Film magazine, as relayed by The Sun. “This is in no way a response to it or picking up from it.”

The actor compared his version of The Incredible Hulk to the way Chris Nolan redid the Batman franchise with Batman Begins.

“I think like Chris Nolan and those guys did with Batman, we just said: ‘We’re going to start completely with our own version of this myth or saga,’” Norton said.

So, will there be multiple an Incredible Hulk 2 or 3?

“To me the whole thing was to envision it in multiple parts We left a lot out on purpose. It’s definitely intended as chapter one.”

Lou Ferrigno Praises The Incredible Hulk, Edward Norton

Lou Ferrigno is okay with the fact that the iconic super hero he portrayed in the late 1970s has been remade into a movie. Twice.

Lou FerrignoIn fact, he has nothing but praise for the latest incantation.

“I was in the movie. I just finished filming,” Ferrigno told MTV. “It’s a spectacular ovie. Very impressive.”

Ever since 1977, when he began playing the character in a famous television series, Ferrigno has had a lot of time to ruminate on The Incredible Hulk.

And he says the new movie’s star, Edward Norton, shares a similar obsession.

“We talked about it. I believe he rewrote the script because he’s very involved with the character,” Ferrigno said. “He’s not just doing another movie, he wanted to be involved with the character. I think that’s going to bring it to the next level.”

Ferrigno went on to give Norton and the production his highest seal of approval, saying the work they were doing on the film will “be like the TV series.”

“[Ed actually] reminds me a lot of Bill Bixby,” Ferrigno said, referencing the actor who played Banner in the series. “He has a similar physique, similar personality. Ed is a very fine actor and it adds tremendous credibility for him to be involved with the movie.”
