Is There Discontent on the Hulk Movie Set?

[aperio]

Louis Leterrier, director of the upcoming The Incredible Hulk, downplayed to SCI FI Wire reports of a creative rift in the post-production phase between actor/screenwriter Edward Norton (who plays Bruce Banner) and Marvel Studios.

"It's so unsettling, because it's not true," Leterrier said in an interview on April 19 at New York Comic Con. "Listen, when you have problems [on a film], you learn what to do. Everyone comes to an agreement where everyone agrees to say it was one thing or it was another thing. But [this controversy] is not a real thing, so I am saying one thing and [producer] Kevin [Feige] will say another thing, because it's a non-issue."

Entertainment blogger Nikki Finke first reported that Norton and Marvel clashed over the film's tone and direction. Not so, Leterrier said. "Edward is working on the movie, and we are working here," he said. "It's a non-issue. You know what's real is that it gives that woman, Nikki Finke, too much power, and everybody is falling into what she is saying. It's sad and weird." (Finke did not respond to a request for comment from SCI FI Wire.)

Asked if he found it difficult to work with Norton, Leterrier said "No." "For example, I never, ever heard about the [rumored] Edward Norton problems [with director Tony Kaye] on American History X," he said. "That movie was amazing, and in France we just judged the movie. I speak to Edward every day. I can show you my iPhone, which has Edward Norton written all over it. We speak daily. He is very proud of the movie and is very involved. I wish he was here."

Do you know when the expected date is for this movie? I take it, there's no trailer yet? I'm surprised to hear Edward Norton playing the Hulk but he's a good actor so it'll be interesting to see how this movie turns out.

I did not especially care for the first Incredible Hulk film, but it was still one of the better Super Hero films in recent times.

Hopefully this sequel is at least as good, but I am truly hoping that it will be better.

The first one seemed like too much of a special effects fest to me
