Edward Norton Cast as Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk!

---

Recently the Illusionist, and best known for "Fight Club", Ed Norton will be the new Bruce Banner

The movie kicks off shooting this summer in Toronto, being directed by Louis Leterrier and distributed by Universal Pictures. Leterrier has directed such other action movies as Transporter and Unleashed.

Norton homes that his attempt will go over better than Ang Lee’s previously directed Hulk movies which did not fair nearly as well as Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four or Ghost Rider.

The synopsis: Bruce Banner is on the run in this movie, trying to avoid capture long enough for him to cure the big, green, machine.

"Edward Norton is a rare talent and one of the most versatile actors in the business," Marvel Studios production president Kevin Feige said in a statement. "His ability to transform into a particular role makes him the ideal choice to take on the character of Bruce Banner and the Hulk. Edward is perfectly suited to bring one of the most popular and important Marvel icons to the big screen in a new and exciting way."

Zak Penn wrote the script; he has helped created two X-Men films and the Fantastic Four script for Marvel. The movie is being produced by Avi Arad, Gale Anne Hurd and Marvel's Feige. Jim Van Wyck, David Maisel, Ari Arad and Stan Lee are executive producing.

Look for it on June 13, 2008!!!
