The Bootlegged HULK Is NOT The Real HULK You Will See (MonkeyPeaches Exclusive)

June 9, 2003

Based on evidences we know so far, the pirated version of HULK available on several websites is a work-in-progress, with unfinished CG works, sound effects and music scores. A bootlegged video downloaded from the Internet does not equal to a film intended for viewing inside a movie theater, and a few comments on a mutilated unfinished product does not equal to a review on a product what the makers want us to see and hear. With respect to the filmmakers as well as yourself, PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND/OR WATCH ANY PIRATED COPY OF THE FILM. There is no justification for such activity.

Ang Lee Turns Universal Execs HULK Green? (Moviehole)

May 21, 2003

SFGate.com

According to Moviehole, "a test screening went down about as well as William Shatner's first LP" and "execs at Universal are turning green this week after a not so incredible screening of HULK." Apparently, Ang Lee "has turned in a melodramatic take on the comic book with an emphasis on drama - as in, really long and boring."

 

Drama is something Ang Lee has always been doing and he delivers what he has promised. Universal got the wrong people for the test screening.

 

"I would like to think that the fans, as loud and earnest as they can be, I hope they make up, like, 0.1 percent of the audience," Ang Lee told San Francisco Chronicle, "I wanted to embrace (the comic), but I also wanted to feel free to create my episode of the Hulk. If I got opinions from other places, I would be very distracted."
