Director Leterrier Talks Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier (Transporter, Unleashed) talked with fans about the return of the jolly green giant to the big screen.

Regarding how the Hulk will be rendered: "We're studying every method and we'll pick the best method for every shot," the director said. "It's important to make the Hulk tactile in this one. As an audience member I love to be confused and not know if it's CGI, animatronic, make-up (loved Davy Jones in Pirates... all CG!!!)."

Leterrier added this about the budget: "It's enough. Listen, I made Transporter 1 for 17M$, Unleashed for 20M$ and Transporter 2 for 22M$ (this one could have used a couple of extra bucks, sorry about some of the vfx's). I'm used to small budgets. This one's very big in Hollywood standards and huge compared to my first films. I'm going to put every penny on screen."

Plus, Eric Bana is still a possibility to return as Bruce Banner even though Dominic Purcell (Prison Break) has been talked about for the role.

"I like the first film," Leterrier said. "I just think I'm a maggot compared to [first film original director] Ang Lee. I'm not going to try to copy him, it would be an enormous failure. I'm going to do my version of a Hulk film. There's a lot of me in Unleashed. If you liked this film, you'll like our Hulk."

Regarding the action: "There's only one way out of this one and it's up...," he said.

He said he's "open to both" a name actor or an unknown to play Abomination.

Regarding Zak Penn's script: "Zak's turning in the best screenplay I ever read. I'm serious."
