Film news: 'Hulk' trailer, Singer's return, Marvel pics, Dark Knight
Comicbook movie news is coming at a rapid pace. Here's what's up:
* The long-awaited trailer for "The Incredible Hulk" is set to debut Wednesday at 9:56 p.m. on the following Universal family networks: MTV, MTVU, MTV2, VH1, Spike TV, Nick at Nite and CMT. It will be posted to MTV's movie site immediately after, and will be shown in theaters this weekend, most notably before "Doomsday." Meanwhile, Nikki Finke at her Deadline Hollywood Daily blog reports that star Edward Norton and Marvel are squabbling over the final cut of the film.
* The U.K.'s Empire Online has news on a number of fronts, including "Superman Returns." The site chatted with director Bryan Singer, who says work has resumed on the pic. The director, however, did not say if the rumor reported at IESB that "Transformers" and "Star Trek" scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman might write the script.
* Empire also checks in with director Edgar Wright, who says fans can expect to see both Hank Pym and Scott Lang in his "Ant-Man" film. The script is currently being polished. Meanwhile, Matthew Vaughn talks about his plans for Marvel's "Thor":
“We’re in a holding pattern at the moment,” he said. “It’s up to Marvel, they have to decide if they want to make the movie and then we take it from there.”
* Interest in "The Dark Knight" is heating up, and will only increase as the pic approaches due to the death of star Heath Ledger. The New York Times talks to director Christopher Nolan. The viral campaign for the film moves on to Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent. The actor tells Wizard he will be seen as the villainous Two-Face in the film.
* Producer Richard Saperstein has picked up the rights to Clifford Meth's comicbook "Snaked," published by IDW.
