HULK MOVIE UPDATE

The Hulk movie will be featured with special lenticular covers on the next issue of TV Guide, which reaches newsstands on Monday.

In the feature story by Shawna Malcom, director Ang Lee said that Hulk shown in the Super Bowl commercial won't be the Hulk moviegoers see in theaters.

"He wasn't finished," said Lee, who estimates that the Hulk will be on screen for 20 to 30 minutes of the final film. "We've added more layers, more translucency. I believe now he gives a good performance."

Star Eric Bana told TV Guide the shoot was difficult.

"There weren't easy days working on the film," Bana said. "It was always very intense. Sometimes I felt like, 'Can't I just get painted green once and run around and act stupid?'"

TRANSFORMERS LIVE-ACTION MOVIE

Hasbro announced on Wednesday that it entered into an agreement with producers Tom DeSanto (X-Men and X2: X-Men United) and Don Murphy (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) for a full-length, live-action Transformers movie.

"Transformers enjoys an amazing fan base worldwide, and we believe that we can create an incredibly fast-paced, exciting movie that will be appealing to anyone who loves action films," Murphy said

"Transformers is one of those rare properties that has been embraced by a generation around the world. Like X-Men, Transformers offers an amazing mythology with all the elements to create a successful ongoing franchise, iconic characters, global themes, and a world that has never been seen before on screen," DeSanto said.

"The property has been successful in every arena it has played in throughout the world - toys, comic books, television - and we now believe it's time to take Transformers to the next level, and into a live action event movie."

"We're thrilled to have entered into an agreement with the very talented and accomplished Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto," said Brian Goldner, president of Hasbro's U.S. toys group. "Transformers is a natural for the big screen, and both Tom and Don have the track record and skill to bring to life a Transformers movie that will be action-packed and flawlessly executed."

BRIEFLY

  • Thomas Jane is training with four Navy SEALs in preparation to play The Punisher.

    "The stuff on the wires and all that crazy dancing that was done so well in Crouching Tiger is beautiful, but it's not very real world," Jane told USA Today. "We're kind of going back to old-fashioned days - serious hand-to-hand combat without all the trickery and dancing."

    "Stylized violence is a way of stepping away from violence and making it palatable. With our movie, we inject a sense of here's what happens when it really goes down."

  • Coming Thursday: Hulk news, DC news -- and much more!!!
