We previously mentioned that Marvel Comics character The Hulk will be getting a new live action TV Series in 2012.Now Director Guillermo del Toro and Producer David Eick are teaming up to create the series. It was announced that ABC were re-making a TV version of the character last month. Toro is attached to direct the pilot episode, while Eick will script it. It is said to focus of on the origin story of a mid-20's Bruce Banner.
Toro said he and Eick has coalesced a respectful but powerful way of retelling the Banner/Hulk story in a fresh way. Eick added: "This is a dream opportunity to join one of my all-time filmmaking heroes... in a faithful but unique retelling of the primal, emotionally-rich tale of one of my all-time favourite comic books." A combination of computer effects, prosthetics and puppetry will be used to create the Hulk.
The series is expected to launch after the 2012 film The Avengers which features Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and his monstrous alter-ego The Hulk is released.
I'm pretty excited to see this happen! Not only do we have The Avengers film to look forward to, we have this also! Marvel is really expanding into better things.
