@ thegroggman and anbody else interested.

Just installed the hulk pc game and its amazing. I think personally i'll not play it until i seen the movie. it has some scenes related to the film itself.

Included are some moive trailers which everybody will have seen and also a making of "off the game" itself....but overall i'm impressed. Certain parts of the game are locked until certain elements have been achieved.

In the intro to the game you see what i think you have called the "hulk dogs" and another foe who appears to be hulk's enemy....anyway i don't want to say anymore and sorry if i have said too much, but get the game....you'll like it if you like the hulk

max install is 1.9 gig

[crazy_billy_bats]

do u know what the CPU requirements are ?

those pics look cool groggers, a lot more human than i expected with that one.

still sceptical on the destruction of objects by Hulk, as he is CGI...

i really hope they pull it off man

[CanYouDigItSucka]

I'm not 100% sure of game spec's although it does ask if you have a whole load of components before installing.....

the game requirements appear to be:-

Windows 98 onwards
192MB ram
P3-700mhz
3D hardware accelerator
and 1gig hdd (min install) 1.9 (full-install)

ps. my spec is XP2200+ 450gig hdd and 1gig ram....and it runs perfectly.......

This is just too lay too rest who the actor in the punisher posts earlier was.
The original poster was correct its Thomas Jane from the movies Thursday and The Velocity of Gary. Thursday kicked a$$ anyway, for those of you who have seen it----->You see the way that bitches head exploded.

LOL...wow...that Punisher post was from a long time ago bro...but thx for clearing that up And onto the new stuff...first up some short pre-reviews from moviehole:

our full "Hulk" review won't be up until the week of release unfortunately , but wanted to still let you know "the good news"...

It's a 5 out of 5 movie, according to our reviewer, Paul.

"Forget anything you've read, this Hulk is simply sensational. An intelligent, original masterwork, directed with imagination and visual eloquence by Ang Lee. This is a film that contains sequences that go beyond the special effects arena, yet at the same time is a film that remains deeply human."

And Superherohype said this:

Our own contributor, Chuck The Movieguy, saw it as well and says the movie is brilliant. The Hulk looks fantastic and is incredibly realistic and detailed. He says it's a great, emtional story. The only drawback is the Hulk Poodle. A full review will come closer to the release date.

So far Ive only read one bad review and this was by a guy who turned out to not even have gone to the screening...so...Next up is a E! video with an interview with the entire cast. Good stuff. Heres the link. Thats all for now

[thegroggman]

Over at SHH they have posted partial interviews with both Ang Lee and Eric Bana. First up is Ang:

SHH's Chuck The Movieguy interviewed Ang Lee this past weekend about The Hulk. Ang spoke about how he acted out the motions for the Jolly Green Giant.

"I was desperate to show them what it should be. Usually animators do that without direction, basically. They doing creatures, not a human, you’re supposed to identify as human after. Usually they watch me also photograph them themselves doing “Arrrrr!” But that won’t work for me. I have to show them what is meant to be there. By the time they start animating it, the film is already cut, the backgrounds, the rhythm, how things will work out in my head. Eventually the best way, the quickest way is me showing them how to do it. So facially they captured quickly with video references, but then they, the Hulk physics. They still need some realistic reference to begin with. And there’s attitude too, the body performance, body language. So eventually I put on a suit and started to do all the Hulk shots. I was in a ?????? doing everything. I do the father, and the water, and I have to indicated what I mean by doing that, and it really helped them visualize what they’re supposed to do. At one point I thought I was going to be the dogs, but, we haven’t gone there."

Lee also spoke about the multi-screen comic page shots in the film:

"From the very beginning, before I wrote the script, I started testing it with my editor and we always work together. I didn’t carry it out as much as I wanted, so the team’s been telling me that at this point, people my not get used to it if it’s in a very dramatic context, it might take you out, could be distracting. So after a while, I didn’t go as far as I wanted to, but we did do a lot. I don’t want to call it split screen. It’s more like multi-image, choreographed multi-panels imitating comic book. When you open up, there’s a a structure, an art design to it. You pick and choose your own ways. The movie is ongoing. It has a linear structure of its own, so I have to choreograph it, unlike the comic book, for your cinematic eyes."

He also spoke about the multiple views of the same character:

"Usually you have to cut around it, and that’s artificial. This is just as artificial. I think it’s different, it’s very fresh. It’s like Picasso, although I suspect he tried to imitate movies. But now we imitate him. As a cinema person, it’s all very interesting to me."

Then good ol' Bruce:

Chuck The Movieguy got a chance to talks with Eric Bana. Eric spoke about meeting Lou Ferrigno on the set of the film:

"It was a big thrill because I was always a big fan of his, not only from the Hulk but as a bodybuilder. You know, him and Arnie, pumping iron were a big part of my youth. So I did what everyone else does when they meet Lou for the first time, you say, “You mind if I touch your arm?” Get a good handful. That was a big thrill to meet him, absolutely. There’s actually a scene in the film that was cut. Him and I have dialogue together. It might turn up on the DVD."

Bana also spoke about his favorite scenes in the film:

"There was probably two or three, I really like the scene in the hangar between Nick and myself towards the end where we’re both sitting on those chairs in that darkened environment. I also like the scene between me and Jennifer in the log cabin after I have been Hulk the night before with the dog fight, and we’re playing with the notion, she comes up with this idea that emotional damage has no limits and if its manifests itself physically than there are no physical limits. The idea that the Hulk could just keep on going and going and going was actually a scene that Ang had re-written at 3 o’clock that morning. We got a knock on our doors saying the scene has been re-written, here it is. Learn it and we’re gonna start shooting it in a few hours. That’s probably one of my favorites."

Eric also spoke about playing his role in the Hulk video game:

"Yeah, it’s kinda weird. I mean I love playing Play Station myself, to sit there and do a voice for an upcoming video game was kind of fun. I had a good time."

He also addressed the issue of pleasing Hulk comic geeks (like us):

"I’m interested to see what they think of the film now that I’m actually finished with it, but I didn’t partake for a second of any of that while I was making the movie. I got a lot of confidence from Ang who was very, very good at ignoring the outside world while we were making this film. I never once even asked anybody what was going on out there. Because you can’t, you end up servicing the wrong God so to speak. You end up chasing your tail and you won’t end up making a product like this if you’re trying to chase your tail following what people think or expect and they haven’t even read the script. So I’m blissfully ignorant of all those kind of discussions, but I’m very respectful of the fans wishes and I’m sure they’ll be pleased. I can’t wait to see their reaction. Quite frankly, they have every right to deserve a great movie and a great interpretation."

Interesting stuff. Im really digging how much Ang Lee is into this film, I mean...hes basically done everything. Usually when a director shows so much dedication it pays off big...guess we'll find out here in 15 days B)

[thegroggman]

Hey folks, the Press Kit for HULK was released recently and I have some behind the scenes pics from that. Pretty boring stuff, but HULK film pics...are HULK film pics. So first off Ill start with Jennifer Connely's pics:





Later today Ill post the pics of Eric Bana, Nick Nolte, and Ang Lee ...till then, later m8s B)

[nightsky]

I didn't look through this entire post, but did any one finish or try d/l the Hulk yet? If ya did wut quality is it cause I still have a long way to go. It's around 1.9 gb

[thegroggman]

Hmmm...well you should always take time to read the post. But there is no cam or telesyncs out for HULK. What you are downloading is most likely the game, for it is the only thing HULK related that you can download off of IRC, Bittorrent, or p2p.
