Director of The “Incredible Hulk” Speaks

    Empire Magazine recently had an interview with director Louis Leterrier about The Incredible Hulk teaser trailer. A lot of questions were raised about the CGI used in the teaser. Let’s be honest, it did not look fantastic. The director says that the CGI was not yet done. In fact, he says the reason the teaser took so long to come out was because none of the shots are complete. But Leterrier felt the shots used in the teaser were good enough to show, and it would show what direction they were taking.

The director then goes on to say that despite how the movie is portrayed in the teaser, the Hulk is in the movie very often. “You’ll see Bruce Banner transform in minute three (Laughs). Minute three! That’s what’s good about it and it was really important when I was accepting the movie. We’re not treating it as an origin movie but: Bruce Banner stepping into his chair and the gamma bomb and everything. He’s the Hulk already, with the Hulk within him, and you get to understand how he came to be in this situation,” says Louis Leterrier.

Considering the film has not come out yet, Leterrier talks about a lot of details in the story. He talks about how Bruce Banner uses Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and akido to avoid getting angry in fights. Bruce also uses yoga to keep himself calm and to keep the “Monster” inside. You can check out the full interview here! What do you guys think?

Houndog Will Be Released July 18

    Empire Film Group Inc. owns the distribution rights in this controversial independent film. Houndog, starring Dakota Fanning, has been given a release date ( July 18 ) and will be opening in more than 500 theaters. Empire expects the film to bring in around 15 million dollars in box office revenues.

There was a Houndog promo reel that was shown at the Sundance Film Festival last year that got a lot of controversial attention. The character played by Dakota Fanning is sexually assaulted in one of the scenes. This made some people feel uncomfortable and outraged. From what we hear, the scene does not show the assault, but it is implied.

Dean Hamilton-Bornstein, CEO of Empire Film Group says, “We believe that ‘Hounddog’ will be one of the top, independent films at theaters this summer.” “It is a powerful, coming-of-age drama that deals with serious issues that should resonate with audiences. Dakota Fanning delivers an Oscar-worthy performance and we expect to see a lot of media attention.” The writer and director, Deborah Kampmeier, says, “I think we all wish that no children were ever assaulted. But it’s not helpful to the victims for our society to ignore the subject and pretend that it’s not real. ‘Hounddog’ takes this dark moment through an emotional recovery brought about through friends, family and music, to a message of hope.” Sounds like an interesting movie. We’ll keep you posted on anymore news concerning Houndog.

Speed Racer Theatrical Trailer Is Right On Track

    Fasten your seat belts baby! The theatrical trailer for Speed Racer is out and about, and looks great! The movie is very stylized and colorful, so if that does not bother you, then you’ll probably like the trailer. This film seems like it is going to be very entertaining because of the style and camera work we have seen in the trailers. This will probably be especially cool in the IMAX version. Some people do not like the way the Wachowski brothers vision of the film looks but we really will not be able to tell until the movie is released. Just keep an open mind until May 9, 2008. Check out the trailer for yourself down below or you can check it out on Yahoo in HD.
