‘Ant-Man’ Cometh, and More Fallout From ‘Iron Man’’s Golden Weekend
2:25AM Defamer Hollywood | Gosh, Marvel Studios, just take a minute to chew your food, would you? Less than 24 hours after its debut picture Iron Man finished a $100 million opening weekend, studio boss David Maisel was all over town announcing Marvel’s forthcoming slate — through 2011. As we noted yesterday, an Iron Man sequel is naturally to follow on April 30, 2010, while an adaptation of Thor will drop that same summer on June 10. It gets fairly outrageous from there: The First Avenger: Captain America appears May 11, 2011, followed by The Avengers — combining Iron Man, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk and Thor a mere two months later. (The studio says its sitting out 2009 as a result of a development lag left over from the writers strike.) More »
Edward Norton Enters The ‘Denial’ Phase Of Grieving For ‘The Incredible Hulk’
2:10AM Defamer Hollywood | Defamer HQ opens for business this morning with an apology to newly non-difficult Edward Norton, whose squabbles with Marvel and Universal over The Incredible Hulk appear to have been blown out of proportion by a naturally overzealous press. Via Entertainment Weekly, Norton himself went public for the first time this week to shout “Piffle!” at the accounts of acrimony dug up by Nikki Finke and The New York Times (and dutifully passed on by us); lest we risk decontextualization of any of his precious 257 words, we now pass along his full statement and more of our own profuse contrition after the jump: More »
‘Passionate’ Edward Norton Quietly Plots Revenge For Stalled Masterpiece ‘Hulk’
2:15AM Defamer Hollywood | Try as it might, Universal is facing another orgy of resistance to its big-screen efforts on behalf of the Incredible Hulk comic franchise. This time around, five years after Ang Lee’s expensive, cheesy The Hulk flatlined into muscly green oblivion, The Incredible Hulk has studio flacks spinning, onlookers shrugging and temperamental star Edward Norton naturally pouting over the whole drama. Reports NY Timesman Brooks Barnes: More »
9:40AM Seth | And in the debate over which cartoonish, nearly-identical-looking summer blockbuster Hulk is cooler, we’ll have to go with the one that looks less like the colour of Green Giant frozen peas, and more like the colour of Green Giant canned peas. [incrediblehulk.marvel.com] More »

‘The Incredible Hulk’ Trailer Offers Promise Of Giant, Green, Angry Thing
9:25AM Seth | The just-released trailer for The Incredible Hulk shows few signs of the shocking truth–splashed across the pages of The Finkeian Tattler–about the power-play going on behind the scenes. (For the uninitiated: Ed Norton has been offering up his creative point of view, which differs slightly from that of the 1200 other cooks required to make a superhero blockbuster. We know! Entirely shocking!) Based on these two-minutes of footage, it seems the touchy-feely beast of Ang Lee’s version, weighed down with boring daddy-issues and roaming the streets of San Francisco like an HGH-abusing Gumby, has been replaced with something a little more in line with what Hulk fanatics expect from their gamma-ray-enhanced avocado-beasts.
