Product Description
The only official book on the making of the new film from the director of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon—a full-color, behind-the-scenes companion to the eagerly awaited blockbuster from Universal Pictures, featuring an all-star cast: Eric Bana, Jennifer Connelly, Sam Elliott, Josh Lucas, and Nick Nolte. Acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee's concept for his film adaptation of the classic Marvel Comics series The Hulk combines all the elements of a blockbuster visual effects-intensive superhero movie with the brooding romance and tragedy of Universal's classic horror films. In depicting The Hulk as both a superhero and a monster, a wish fulfillment and a nightmare, Lee and his team have stayed true to the early subversive spirit of the character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, while completely updating The Hulk and projecting it into the dangers and aspirations of contemporary times. Eric Bana (Black Hawk Down) stars as scientist Bruce Banner, whose inner demons transform him in the aftermath of a catastrophic experiment. Academy Award -winner Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind) portrays Betty Ross, whose scientific genius unwittingly helps unleash The Hulk; Nick Nolte (The Thin Red Line) plays Banner's brilliant father, who passes on a tragic legacy to his son; and Sam Elliott (The Contender) portrays the commander of a top-secret military research center. With more than 120 color images, the Newmarket Pictorial Moviebook includes the motion picture screenplay written by James Schamus, behind-the-scenes photos in bringing the big green superhero to life through visual effects, creature design concept art, and many fascinating articles about the cast and filmmakers.

THIS BOOK IS GOOD November 26, 2003
Hengky Tanoyo (Surabaya, Indonesia)
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
MANY PEOPLE WHO EXPECT THE MOVIE TO BE JUST ANOTHER BIG EMPTY HOLLYWOOD FX-FEST WOULD BE TURNED OFF BY WHAT THEY SAW. YET IT WAS ANG LEE'S DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THE HULK THAT MAKES THE STORY AN INTERESTINGLY UNUSUAL SUPERHERO FILM. THIS BOOK SPOTLIGHT MANY DIFFERENT ASPECTS FROM THE MOVIE FROM FX TO THE CAST AND SCRIPT. WITHOUT BEING TOO LAVISH, IT IS AN ENTERTAINING READ HOWEVER.
