Thanks for nothing asshole

I like it when the people in "the know" answer questions for us ignorant peons yearning for the truth.

Now, I may be one of the only 7 or 8 people in the world who liked the 1st Hulk film. Yeah, it had some problems, but Ang Lee tried to make a complex film with many levels. It wasn't just a one-dimensional action film. And maybe that's why it failed. Maybe it was too complex. However, Louis Leterrier, who has directed the Transporter films and Unleashed, has been attached to direct The Incredible Hulk, despite the 1st film's failures. I liked the Transporter. The 2nd one kinda sucked. And, I was completely surprised by Unleashed. It was much better than I expected and I plan to someday add it to my DVD collection.

So, let's get back to my original statement. I like it when the big shots take time to answer questions. Jesse Falcon, a bigwig with ToyBiz, answers questions on Marvel Legends toys every other day on one of the message boards. he doesn't have to, but he takes the time to answer our questions anyway. Superhero Hype got a chance to interview Louis Leterrier about The Incredible Hulk film, and instead of linking you to it, I'll just paste it here:

Q: Can you confirm the method for which the Hulk will be presented?
We're studying every method and we'll pick the best method for every shot. It's important to make the Hulk tactile in this one. As an audience member I love to be confused and not know if it's CGI, animatronic, make-up (loved Davy Jones in Pirates... all CG!!!).

Q: Can you confirm if Dominic Purcell is in talks for a role in your movie, and possibly what role that is.
Let me show you something...

ITW: Hello Louis Leterrier.
LL: Hi.
ITW: I hear you've been asked to direct Indiana Jones 4.
LL: Huh...
ITW: INDY, you're so lucky!!!
LL: Huh, well, I love these films but...
ITW:That's going to be amazing. Good luck"

... and a day later every one says that LL is directing the next Indy.
Listen to Dominic Purcell's interview again.

Q: Will you get Statham a role in this film if not Abomination perhaps someone in the military.
He's Betty...

Q: We know the budget is not over 180 million per the terms of the merril deal but do you have an estimate yet? Zak said it was quite a bit.
It's enough. Listen, I made Transporter 1 for 17M$, Unleashed for 20M$ and Transporter 2 for 22M$ (this one could have used a couple of extra bucks, sorry about some of the vfx's). I'm used to small budgets. This one's very big in Hollywood standards and huge compared to my first films. I'm going to put every penny on screen.

Q: Is Bana officially eliminated from contention or is he still a possibility?
He's not out.

Q: How far are we away from a casting announcement and a release date?
Nothing's set.

Q: Is this a sequel or not? There has been alot of confusion over this. Sometimes yes, and other times no.
It's a hard question to answer. You have to be the judge of that when you see the film.

Q: Is Lou Ferrigno really in the running to voice Hulk? (I hope not)
I've only met Lou once and I was star-struck. Who do you think should do the voice?

Q: Avi & Zak have said they liked the action in the first film (desert battle), do you also share this opinion? And plan to live upto/top it?
There's only one way out of this one and it's up...

Q: Ang sometimes used interesting wipes to go between shots, although you don't need to, will you slip a few in during editing for people like me that loved that?
Too early to say.

Q: Was the distancing from the first movie (even as a sequel) at Comic-Con more of a way of getting attention of those that were dissatisfied with the first film rather than condemnation of the first film itself?
I like the first film. I just think I'm a maggot compared to Ang Lee. I'm not going to try to copy him, it would be an enormous failure. I'm going to do my version of a Hulk film. There's a lot of me in Unleashed. If you liked this film, you'll like our Hulk.

Q: Will you also be checking out Ultimate Fighter matches to get a feel for the influence on Hulk's fighting style in the first film (assuming you aren't familiar with that already)? Or will there be no consistency in this regard? Speaking of consistency, will there be any?
I'll surround myself with the best fight choreographers. It's going to be special.

Q: Has there been any talk of doing an online video blog from behind scenes of the film as many movies are doing these days
I don't know. I'm not very photogenic.

Q: Has there been talk on where this will be filmed (U.S., Canada etc)?
Too early to say.

Q: Are you focused on casting an unknown or well known actor for Abomination? Or are you open to either?
Open to both.

Q: If there is some sense of continuity between films is there a chance will Harper return (even if it's just a cameo)? Are you expecting rewrites for Zak's first treatment?
Zak's turning in the best screenplay I ever read. I'm serious.

Thats it. Like the title of this posting says, thanks for nothing asshole. You didn't answer shit! If you're going to take the time to answer fan's questions, then answer the goddamn questions. What a waste of time. And what was the point of Superhero Hype even listing this as a story?

There's a difference btween holding some info back to maintain some secrecy about the product, but Louis doen't even have any info to give in the first place.

I'll just award him the
Stupid Motherfucker of the Week Award

And I'll leave you with that. I'll be back with you on Monday though, so hold back your tears.
