Universal Pictures and Marvel Comics release the first official poster for the Incredible Hulk movie.
Directed by Louis Leterrier (The Transporter, Transporter 2) and starring Edward Norton (The Illusionist) as Bruce Banner/Hulk, The Incredible Hulk is a “reimagining” of the character, rather than a sequel to Ang Lee’s Hulk (2003). The film also stars Liv Tyler (Reign Over Me), Tim Roth (Dark Water) and William Hurt (Mr. Brooks).
Incredible Hulk synopsis courtesy of Incrediblehulk.marvel.com:
In this new beginning, scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) desperately hunts for a cure to the gamma radiation that poisoned his cells and unleashes the unbridled force of rage within him: The Hulk.
Living in the shadows—cut off from a life he knew and the woman he loves, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler)—Banner struggles to avoid the obsessive pursuit of his nemesis, General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt), and the military machinery that seeks to capture him and brutally exploit his power.
As all three grapple with the secrets that led to The Hulk’s creation, they are confronted with a monstrous new adversary known as The Abomination (Tim Roth), whose destructive strength exceeds even The Hulk’s own.
Incredible Hulk explodes onto screens June 13, 2008.
