Acclaimed filmmaker
Ang Lee's concept for his film adaptation of the classic Marvel
Comics series, The Hulk, combines all the elements of a blockbuster
visual effects-intensive superhero movie with the brooding
romance and tragedy of Universal's classic horror films.
In depicting The Hulk as both a superhero
and a monster, a wish fulfillment and a nightmare, Lee and
his team have stayed true to the early subversive spirit of
the character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, while completely
updating The Hulk and projecting it into the dangers and aspirations
of contemporary times.
Eric Bana (Black Hawk Down) stars as scientist
Bruce Banner, whose inner demons transform him in the aftermath
of a catastrophic experiment.
Academy Award® winner Jennifer Connelly
(A Beautiful Mind) portrays Betty Ross, whose scientific genius
unwittingly helps unleash The Hulk; Nick Nolte (The Thin Red
Line) plays Banner's brilliant father, who passes on a tragic
legacy to his son, and Sam Elliott (The Contender) portrays
the commander of a top-secret military research center.
