A new trailer for The Incredible Hulk has just arrived online, and I'm definitely diggin' it. This is the trailer currently playing before Speed Racer, and, is it just me, or is that a little tease of the classic TV show's music there at the end. Have we heard any of that yet? Maybe I missed it in another trailer, but I first noticed it just now -- and, man, did it take me back.* This new preview gives us a whole lotta Hulk and no Abomination -- just Hulk running and smashing things, like those two cars he's holding up at the end. (Does insurance cover a monster destroying your automobile?)

The Incredible Hulk stars Edward Norton, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt and Tim Blake Nelson. The film marks Marvel's second self-financed flick, following the very successful Iron Man, and it was directed by Louis Leterrier (The Transporter, The Transporter 2). So now that you've gotten a good look at three trailers and tons of images from the film, whaddya think? Worth a shot? As good or better than Iron Man? Check our our pretty massive Incredible Hulk gallery, and sound off below ...

*The music is also featured at the end of the second trailer; thanks to Peter for pointing that out.

From National CineMedia comes this brand new in-theater promotional video for this summer's The Incredible Hulk. The clip above is sort of a behind-the-scenes look at what inspired the film (featuring interviews with producer Kevin Feige and director Louis Leterrier), as well as clips from a few scenes we haven't yet seen. Granted, a majority of what they show was already released in that first trailer, but there's definitely some new stuff thrown in.

Most of the people I've run into as of late are iffy on this film, but only because of the smaller marketing push. Personally, I really want to love it. In their last podcast, James and Scott spoke about Iron Man and the amazing cast that comes with that comic book flick. Well, Incredible Hulk isn't much different. You have Edward Norton, Tim Roth (who, honestly, will probably make a sick villain), William Hurt, Tim Blake Nelson, Liv Tyler ... and, heck, Robert Downey Jr. will also make an appearance as Tony Stark. I dunno, it's hard for me to NOT anticipate this film with that cast. I really hope it rocks.

The Incredible Hulk arrives in theaters on June 13.

It's here and it is early, courtesy of MTV! Go watch it, now!

What do you think of the trailer, after this incredibly long wait?

I don't think it's particularly inspiring myself. It doesn't look like Edward Norton really added anything special -- and I was expecting more out of someone with his caliber. Maybe there was just too much hype and expectation. (Or maybe it's just the trailer!)

The action looks solid though. Who doesn't love to see two giant monsters fighting each other on the streets of New York? And I definitely dig the chase element. It's fun to imagine the Hulk hiding fearfully in alleys and dingy apartments, afraid of being caught.

And this supporting cast is certainly excellent. No one makes a better bad guy than Tim Roth. But couldn't they at least have given Liv Tyler one line of dialog? And not made her wear glasses to look like a Smart Sexy Science Girl?

The Incredible Hulk stomps across the globe on June 13.

I had almost completely forgotten about Liv Tyler's horror flick The Strangers, until the new trailer popped up on the net (there's a larger version on the official site). Last August, an R-rated trailer was released, but by then, the initial release date had been scrapped with only the vague promise that the film would be in theaters some time in '08. The movie is now scheduled to hit theaters this May, so it will be almost one full year late to the party.

The Strangers centers on a young couple who are inexplicably targeted by masked psycho-killers for a night of terror. It looks like it's going to be your usual fight to the death as the couple try to make it out alive. The Strangers was written and directed by Bryan Bertino, a first time writer and director. Joining Tyler is Scott Speedman (Underworld) as Liv's better half, and Gemma Ward as one of the masked maniacs.

After watching the trailer, I think that it still manages to deliver some chills, and it doesn't give away too much. It's funny if you think about the fact that no sooner did the film manage to avoid comparisons to last year's Vacancy, audiences will probably be comparing it to Funny Games. It does look awfully similar. I guess we'll find out if The Strangers was worth the wait when the film finally hits theaters on May 30th.

... is not online yet, but a description of what appears to be the first trailer has popped up over at AICN. A scooper attended the Toy Fair in Germany where movies like Iron Man, Star Trek XI and The Incredible Hulk were being promoted. The new Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series was on hand too, and it was announced that the first three episodes would screen theatrically in Europe this September, which pretty much means we'll get the same thing here in the states. As far as the first footage for The Incredible Hulk goes, the scooper felt that what they were watching was, indeed, the first trailer (which we hope will debut sometime in the next week or so). Here's the description (and beware of spoilers below) ...

"The scene opens with Edward Norton meditating. We see images of a lab, experiments, Banner escaping from the (Russian?) military (led by William Hurt and Tim Roth), running in the streets, kissing Liv Tyler, guns, shooting, more running... The 'trailer' ends with Abomination walking towards Hulk. Remember the end of Rocky III? Apollo Creed wants to hit Rocky in their friendly duel? That's exactly the way the trailer ends. Abomination wants to hit Hulk. Hulk wants to hit Abomination, but before it actually happens the trailer is over. Abomination looks like a Hulk with the Voldemort face from the first Harry Potter movie. A really mean motha. He sure is a great opponent. I thought the shown footage was awesome. It promises much more action than the Ang Lee movie, a great love story and an even greater fight."

Personally, I'm surprised they'd show Abomination right off the bat in the first trailer; then again, they probably want to show fans how this film will differ from the previous one immediately and build hype. Fine with me. So long as the CGI comic book creatures look cool, I'm all for it. The Incredible Hulk arrives in theaters on June 13.

So far, we've only seen two pictures and a few different variations of the same teaser poster for this summer's highly-anticipated The Incredible Hulk. Word had it a trailer was supposed to debut during the Superbowl, but that never happened. And with all eyes turning to Indiana Jones next week, who knows when we'll finally get to see a bit more of the Hulk re-do, starring Edward Norton, Tim Roth, Liv Tyler and William Hurt. Well, good news is that, like what happened with Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last week, a flyer featuring toys from the upcoming Hulk movie has made its way online. It's not the real deal, but this flyer does finally give us a look at what the filmmakers have planned for Hulk's arch-nemesis Abomination.

Superhero Hype grabbed a photo of the flyer (which we've included after the jump for possible spoiler reasons), and I must say Abomination looks very cool. We haven't been given much to get excited about (with the exception of knowing that Robert Downey Jr. will make a cameo as Tony Stark at some point), and so seeing the toy version of Abomination will have to do for now. The flyer also features an image of the toy Hulk, which looks, well, like the Hulk we all know and love. So head on after the jump to get a taste of what we're in store for come June 13, and as soon as more is revealed we'll be sure to bring it to you.

My post-Christmas stomach is in very bad shape ...

Some new artwork from this summer's The Incredible Hulk has arrived online, and while it's still only artwork (in fact, all we've seen so far of this film has been artwork), it's definitely a piece that should whet your appetite for destruction. Arriving in theaters on June 13, this version of the Hulk stars Edward Norton as the emotionally-conflicted Bruce Banner, who's on the run hiding from authorities, as well as his own demons. Tim Roth will play Hulk's nemesis Emil Blonsky, while Liv Tyler (Betty Ross), William Hurt (Gen. Ross) and Tim Blake Nelson (Samuel Sterns) also star. Check out the new artwork to the right, via Coming Soon.

That TV movie/series launch/contemporary re-boot of Knight Rider now has a very very brief 15-second teaser trailer online for all of you to geek out over. While there's not much except the uncovering of the new, updated car, we do get to hear a brief snippet of that classic Knight Rider music, followed by some other, flashy TV music. Ah, and Will Arnett as the voice of KITT -- does it seriously get any better than that? From the official Knight Rider press release: "The movie stars Justin Bruening ("Cold Case," "All My Children"), Deanna Russo ("NCIS," "The Young and the Restless"), Sydney Tamiia Poitier ("Veronica Mars," "Grindhouse") and Bruce Davison ("Breach," "Close to Home"). In addition, David Hasselhoff (NBC's "America's Got Talent") - who starred in the popular lead role as Michael Knight for four seasons during the original series - returns as the same character in a special guest-star appearance. Will Arnett (NBC's "30 Rock," "Blades of Glory") will provide the voice of KITT." Don't you love how Hasselhoff's credit is from America's Got Talent, as if no one would remember the dude's awesome turn in TV's Baywatch. (Check out the teaser after the jump.)

Finally, we haven't heard much about the Pixar film arriving in between Wall-E (2008) and Toy Story 3 (2010), titled Up. Now, Upcoming Pixar has picked up a note from the film's official wikipedia entry which stated that Up may in fact be a "re-telling, somewhat, of the classic Don Quixote fable." Here's what we have so far by way of a synopsis for Up; let the speculation begin: "Pete Docter and co-director Bob Peterson are preparing this "coming-of-old-age story" about a seventysomething guy who lives in a house that "looks like your grand-parents' house smelled." He befriends a clueless young Wilderness Ranger and gets into lots of alter kocker altercations. Says Pixar: "Our hero travels the globe, fights beasts and villains and eats dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon." (via CinemaBlend)

According to the New York Daily News, Catherine Zeta-Jones will no longer co-star in Nine, the film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, which itself was an adaptation of Fellini's classic film 8 1/2. Zeta-Jones would have played the role of Claudia, "the alluring muse of skirt-chasing director Guido Contini." The reason for the falling out is allegedly -- it's always allegedly with the Daily News -- because director Rob Marshall (the inexplicably Best Picture-winning Chicago) "wouldn't give in to her demand to beef up her role." The script is adapted by Michael Tolkin (The Player), and apparently the creative team wasn't willing to change the story around. A friend of Zeta-Jones told the Daily News "She was never 100% committed to Nine. She had a meeting with Rob. She'd love to work with him again. But she felt she'd done the same sort of role in Chicago. The script wasn't an issue."

Marshall has moved on and is looking for a younger actress to hop in and play Claudia. The list of possibles includes Natalie Portman, Liv Tyler, Keira Knightley, Kate Hudson, and Gwyneth Paltrow. (In what world is Gwyneth Paltrow a reasonable substitute for Zeta-Jones?) The cast of Nine, one of the more attractive bunches of actors in recent memory, features Javier Bardem as Guido, Sophia Loren as Guido's mother, Penelope Cruz as his mistress Carla, and Marion Cotillard as Luisa Contini. Reportedly (another word for "allegedly"), Katie Holmes was "heartbroken" when Marshall turned her down for a role. Who would you guys like to see in the part? We'll keep you posted on how this drama turns out.

Additionally, Variety has announced today that the Weinstein Co. has officially delayed production on Nine due to the script not being ready.

It's taking forever to get more of a taste of one of this summer's biggest flicks, but Superhero Hype was just sent a promotional poster that shows a pretty nifty Hulk in all of his light green/grey glory (click on the image to the right for a slightly larger version). You'll remember that back at ComicCon, another promotional poster was revealed, only it showed the silhouette of Hulk. This one, however, gives us a tiny glimpse at what director Louis Leterrier and crew have in store for our favorite emotionally unstable and conflicted superhero. He's big. He's got muscles. And he looks pissed. Yeah, I don't think I'd want to make him angry.

Due out in theaters on June 13, this updated version of The Incredible Hulk stars Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, Liv Tyler, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Tim Blake Nelson and ... Lou Ferrigno. Yes! Maybe I'm warped, but I'd love a scene in which The Hulk throws Ferrigno through a glass window. Maybe? Possibly? Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to the film; I feel they've probably learned from the mistakes of Ang Lee's version and I expect a pretty kick-ass flick this June. Additionally, a rumor was going around earlier this week that stated the first trailer for The Incredible Hulk would premiere during the Superbowl. Not sure if it will hit the internets beforehand, but either way we shouldn't have to wait too much longer.

Just a few weeks ago, Christopher Campbell gave us the heads up on the brand new poster for Liv Tyler's new horror flick, The Strangers. Now, Shock Till You Drop is hosting an exclusive yellow-band trailer for the film. Written and directed by Bryan Bertino, Strangers stars Scott Speedman and Tyler as a couple terrorized by a murderous trio. The young couple tries to fend off a group of masked murders who inexplicably targeted them at their remote country home. As Scott Weinberg has already pointed out, the similarities to another "couple in peril" horror film are unmistakable.

This is Bertino's debut film and was supposedly based on true events -- about that, Bertino has never really gotten around to explaining what those events were. Chris Ullrich had the chance to see some clips from the film at a Rogue Pictures panel at ComicCon last month. By the sounds of what Chris described, it looks like some of that footage has made it into this online trailer. Luckily, Bertino keeps to quick cuts of the action, so there really isn't that much revealed ... although there definitely are a few creepy shots in the bunch.

The Strangers was originally slated to open July 13, but was postponed. So far, we've seen no mention of a new release date -- unless you count the vague promise of 'Coming Soon' on the one-sheet. After all the photo releases lately, it looks like Rogue could be serious about finally releasing the film in early 2008, as reported in Shock Till You Drop's interview with Bertino.

It's good to see an honest, straightforward poster every now and again. This new one-sheet for The Strangers (courtesy of JoBlo.com) lets me know that it's a movie I don't want to see, without me even needing to know what it's about. All I need to understand is that I'll be seeing Liv Tyler beaten to the ground, and I don't particularly want to see yet another woman abused for the sake of entertainment. Of course, for others the poster offers the appeal of all this. Hey, we all win, right? I must point out, however, that some people could mistake Tyler for some kind of horror villain here. If you look at the image a certain way, she looks scary rather than scared. Also, I'm sure Rogue/Focus has gone with this muddied yellow color palette to symbolize the disturbance of Tyler's happiness, but it just looks like she's stuck on flypaper. Plus it makes the white lettering hard to make out. In case you didn't notice, it says "Coming Soon" at the bottom.

The Strangers, which isn't about Liv Tyler coming after you, is apparently inspired by true events (it says it right there on the poster). I don't know what these real events were, but it doesn't matter because we've seen the story countless times in the news and in the movies. The plot simply consists of a young couple -- Tyler and Scott Speedman -- who are terrorized by three people at their remote cabin. And as you can tell from the poster, Tyler gets pretty bloodied up. This is certainly more revealing than the previous Strangers poster we saw from Showest; that one made the movie look like a non-distinct slasher film. The new design also seems consistent with the rest of the pic's marketing, which includes a photo of Tyler similarly crawling forward, though away from one of the masked villains. I think the trailer also features the same motif of Tyler crawling (I haven't seen it, but Chris saw it at ComicCon's Rogue/Focus presentation). The Strangers was originally scheduled for release back on July 13, but it was postponed. Currently it has no known release date.

I probably should've written this post last night, but couldn't find the time to get to it. If I had written it last night, then I would've been able to include Iron Man here as well, however those tricksters over at Paramount have removed the Iron Man ComicCon footage from YouTube and so we're all sh*t out of luck. I did happen to catch the Iron Man stuff before it was taken down, and I have to say it all looked pretty fantastic. I've never been an Iron Man fan, and I was weary about Jon Favreau taking on such an ambitious project, but based on what they showed it looks like Iron Man could be the film to watch out for come next summer. Another film that has lots of people talking is The Incredible Hulk re-launch -- with Edward Norton signed up to play the green monster before he's made angry.

Luckily, the brief snippet of footage from next summer's The Incredible Hulk is still online over at YouTube (as of right this second). I'm not sure if it's just not important enough to take down, or if there's barely enough there to be worried about -- but at least I have something to hand you this morning. Unlike the four plus minutes of Iron Man stuff, this Hulk "concept art" is only about 20 seconds and it features a close-up of the new Hulk, in all his green, angsty glory. Cinematical's Kevin Kelly live-blogged the entire Marvel panel at ComicCon, and so to hear more about what stars Edward Norton and Liv Tyler had to say about their roles, head on over here. Luckily, we were also able to grab some secret footage of the Hulk's transformation which, I'll admit, is a little rough and cartoonish in its current form -- but hey, at least it's something. The Incredible Hulk will smash its way into theaters on June 13, 2008.

The news about upcoming movies and other exciting stuff just keep flying fast and furious here at Comic-Con International in San Diego. During Thursday and Friday, we've tried to bring you as much info as we can and now that its Saturday, there's even more stuff to share. This time around I'm hanging out in gigantic Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center to bring you news and information about the Rogue Studios / Focus features presentation.

Before I get to the meat, I just want to acknowledge the help I received from a few Elite security personnel and two Comic-Con volunteers inside Hall H. Their help was invaluable and I thank them. Why am I saying this? Well, because without them I probably would not have had a great seat for all the festivities and would have had to deal directly with attendees determined to steal my chair the moment they spotted any opening.

These guys and gals (some of which don't even get paid) work very hard so I just want to thank them for doing a great job controlling people I'm sure are very hard to control. Of course, if the Con had a designated area for the press to sit so we could cover the events that might make things easier. But that's another story for another time.

Anyway, on to the important stuff. First up for the Rogue/Focus features panel was a surprise visit from Neil Gaiman and director Henry Selik with a little surprise announcement of a screening of footage from the still-in-production Coraline movie. According to Gaiman, Coraline, his "scary little story for kids of all ages with people who have button eyes who really want to eat people's souls" which is really "something you need in children's fiction" is now a stop-motion masterpiece with script and direction by Selick -- who is best know for films such as The Nightmare Before Christmas.

We're here, literally crammed like a sardine into some of the first few rows at the Marvel Studios panel, and they've hit the ground running by introducing the talent right away. No fancy speeches or anything.

The Incredible Hulk just started shooting, so we unfortunately won't have any footage or pictures coming your way, but they did manage to bring Liv Tyler and Ed Norton down from the set. Woot! The questions are from the moderator, IGN's Eric Moro.

• So where does The Incredible Hulk fit into the movie mythology? "This is a part one, and it's the beginning of a whole new Hulk saga."
• Why another Hulk movie? "Because he's The Incredible Hulk!" Well, that tells me a lot. "We also won't have a Hulk that is three different sizes."
• Edward, you're contributing more than acting to the film, what else are you doing? "Well, you're making me be immodest ... I came into this and I wrote the screenplay. I was a Marvel kid growing up, and I used to subscribe to a lot of the books. Remember when they used to come in plastic with the little piece of scotch tape on the back? This story has almost limitless potential in it to be remade and redone. It's a really classic modern mythology."
  
• Liv, Betty Ross definitely isn't a damsel in distress ... what's your take on the character? "Well, I haven't started shooting yet, so I'm a bit out of the loop, but I used to love the television show and I'd watch it with my mom. In this film, we're searching for a cure for him."

With shooting currently underway, The Incredible Hulk has added another cast member, and another villain. The Hollywood Reporter tells us that Tim Blake Nelson has signed on to play Samuel Sterns (aka The Leader); archenemy of the Hulk (Edward Norton). Nelson is a great character actor; he's appeared in a number of films, my favorite performance of his being Delmar from the Coen Bros. O' Brother, Where Art Thou. In the comics Sterns is a menial worker at a chemical research factory (always a bad sign), when an explosion causes the man to be hit with some ever-so-wonderful gamma radiation. From there, his skin turned green and he became this super-intelligent criminal with a giant oversized brain.

With Tim Roth (what is it with the Tims?) already signed on to play Emil Blonsky (The Abomination), it looks The Incredible Hulk could be heading in the direction of most comic-related films as of late -- mainly in that the flick will include two villains, instead of just one. Either that, or Sterns will not make his transformation until late in the film setting up a sequel. Folks haven't been too keen on the multiple villain angle, but if it's done well I have no problem with multiple baddies. It keeps the pace fast, and the characters constantly on their toes. But in the case of the Hulk, two villains might be two too much. Keep in mind he'll also be running from the United States Army and General "Thunderbolt" Ross (William Hurt), not to mention he'll have to find time to woo Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) in his spare time. Louis Leterrier (The Transporter) will direct Hulk this time, so I imagine we'll be seeing a slew of off-the-wall stunt action. If he tones down a little bit of what he did in Transporter, I think we'll be okay. Oh, and Zak Penn wrote the script. Look for more Hulk stuff this weekend from ComicCon, and the movie is set to arrive in theaters on June 13, 2008.
