Comic-Con: 'Incredible Hulk' writer VS. Edward Norton; Avengers NEWS.


On Norton and the Hulk script, which Penn ultimately received sole credit for (he had been concocting the storyline for 16 years): "Yes, [the fallout] prevented me from collaborating with him [during production]. I don't really know the guy, he has his own process and he chose to do it the way he wanted to do it. That said, I kept in touch with the people making the movie — but he, you know, has his own particular way of working and...it was unusual. I really don't know, I wasn't there, I was off making another movie, so it wasn't a situation where I was banging on the door saying, 'Let me come to the set.' But that was disappointing, I won't deny it. I wasn't happy with him coming to Comic-Con saying that he wrote the script. I can't tell you that made me go back and watch Fight Club."


On The Avengers: "Right now, we're [he and Marvel Entertainment] planning a bigger Avengers movie that will tie all of the movies together, and it's going to bring in a lot of the comic book authors. I am writing, but also, I think you guys [looking at Fergus] are going to be writing with us too, right? [Fergus looks back blankly.] Maybe you don't know that yet, but you are."

sry2say warner brothers is really shortsighted and only focus on batman and superman. it's a goddamn shame that there hasn't even been a WONDER WOMAN movie yet. the truth is, i will see an ant-man movie before i see a green lantern movie. let that simmer a little.
[info]missedith17 26th-Jul-2008 04:02 am (UTC)
While I enjoy Batman (not Superman so much) there really is a huge DC Universe just ripe for development. I hate that they only focus on those two. I guess I'd rather have no movie then have a crap movie. I'm sure most of the characters would transition over nicely if they got the proper TLC though.
[info]alleigh 26th-Jul-2008 05:00 am (UTC)
Last I heard they wanted Wonder Woman as Donna and not Diana. So I hope if they ever do make it they actually stop fucking with who the character is. *cough* Catwoman. Yuck.

[info]j3551c44 26th-Jul-2008 04:10 am (UTC)
agreed
[info]luxis_lil 26th-Jul-2008 04:13 am (UTC)
WORD.
[info]moodyquesadilla 26th-Jul-2008 05:18 am (UTC)
Lies and slander.

The only DC person I like is Batman...all the others, meh.
[info]cut_piece 26th-Jul-2008 05:24 am (UTC)
Yea right Marvel wins for sure, the DC comic to film franchises are so mismanaged. Vertigo beats both of them by a mile, though.
[info]harmoner 26th-Jul-2008 12:23 pm (UTC)
Agreed Booster Gold, Nightwing would be great movies
[info]bagelofdeath 26th-Jul-2008 03:48 am (UTC)
I love Edward Norton's acting (and face) but I'm sure he's a gigantic douche.
[info]arianocturne 26th-Jul-2008 04:38 am (UTC)
I have to agree.
[info]bwvalentine 26th-Jul-2008 03:50 am (UTC)
/sigh

stop being an ass, edward norton. we want to love you, but you're such a douche.
[info]flightsabove 26th-Jul-2008 03:52 am (UTC)
ikr? I want to hate him but I just can't.
[info]thesealwife 26th-Jul-2008 04:01 am (UTC)

[info]lovefifteen 26th-Jul-2008 02:04 pm (UTC)
ia. i used to love him but the more i learned about him, the more i realized he was a tool.
[info]getalonghumming 26th-Jul-2008 03:51 am (UTC)
kinda OT but edward norton has a globe in the hall of nations n the kennedy center. and everyone freaked out about it walking past the ones that like bill clinton and other ppl signed.
[info]lexy_ 26th-Jul-2008 03:55 am (UTC)
Edward Norton is a douche
[info]bloodlolli 26th-Jul-2008 03:56 am (UTC)
Does anyone know where I can read Fight Club online?
[info]bwvalentine 26th-Jul-2008 03:57 am (UTC)
you can't spare $13 to go buy it at a bookstore?

it's worth it, trust me.
[info]bloodlolli 26th-Jul-2008 03:58 am (UTC)
I have it on my Amazon list, but I am really bored right now.
[info]epouvante 26th-Jul-2008 03:59 am (UTC)

i'm really happy marvel decided to make their own studio. not only will there be an increase in the quality of the movies, but also in the breadth of heroes covered. GOOD MOVE.
[info]cut_piece 26th-Jul-2008 05:26 am (UTC)
i agree, it was really smart
and really exciting
