Upon reading my sources about this up and coming movie, it appears they want this movie to more representative of the character(s) in the comic book with some instances of it being similar to the TV show which, as what Liv Tyler thought, represented the “”humanity and what (Banner) is going through”.
Upon further reading, this film looks like it’s going to follow around the same tonality as the T.V. series. There’s even two photos comparing Ed Norton and Bill Bixby sitting in the similar machine/equipment.
I would probably enjoy this film, for one, I was an avid fan of the T.V. series, and didn’t read the Hulk Comic, so I will have more a familiarity with the movie if this is the case. ( I wonder if at the end of the movie they’ll show Bruce Banner walking down the road with his travel bag slung over his shoulder with the sad piano music playing in the background? LOL. That would simply make me nostalgic (actually that part of the TV Series was my favorite….the end.)Film makers have stated that Ed Norton was mostly chosen due to the fact that he reminded them of Dr. Bruce Banner. And Lou Ferrigno said Edward Norton looked similar to Bruce Banner in physique and personality.
Liv Tyler also liked the script because of the love story in the movie and she too was a fan of the TV series. She enjoyed being involved in the physical aspects of the movie. It was fun for her.
Then you have the enemy played by , portraying the character “Emil Blonsky”. Typical villain, (sounds like some people I know) blaming Bruce Banner for his situation, and not himself. Apparently this guy exposes HIMSELF to gamma radiation, but problem is… once he’s “changed,” he cannot change back to human form.
