Norton Took Hulk Role After Lord Of The Rings Success Can't Post

Ed NortonThanks to Ringer Mallory A for sending us this tidbit from IMDB.com today:

Edward Norton has credited blockbuster trilogy The Lord Of The Rings with convincing him to accept his role in big-budget movie The Incredible Hulk. The star, noted for roles in edgier films such as Fight Club and American History X, was hesitant to take on the big screen comic book adaptation. But he insists it was filmmaker Peter Jackson's version of epic fantasy series The Lord of the Rings that helped him make his decision.

I'm not entirely sure [In reply to] Can't Post

how Norton makes a link between LOTR and The Incredible Hulk, except that they're both fantasy. Other than that, the stories are a bit chalk and cheese.

I'm still dubious about seeing Hulk, both because of the disappointment of the last film and the climactic battle between Good Hulk and Bad Hulk - it's the same 'nyeh' approach that weakened Iron Man just a bit.

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.
