Cheesy title, I know, but check this (http://us.news2.yimg.com/f/42/31/7m/dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010917/en/film-hulk_1.html) out! Snazzy eh? For those with slow modems, and don't wanna check that out, then, this is what it says:




F/X guru Baker muscles up for ``Hulk''


HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - Veteran f/x artist Rick Baker is about to turn green, agreeing to tackle the makeup f/x efforts for ``The Incredible Hulk'' once his duties on Sony's alien sequel ``Men in Black 2'' are completed.

This summer, Baker's work transformed humans into simians for Fox's ``Planet of the Apes.'' He won his sixth Oscar last year for ``Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.'' Other credits include ``The Nutty Professor,'' ``Mighty Joe Young,'' ``Men in Black'' and ``An American Werewolf in London.''

Tapping Baker dispels rumors that ``Hulk,'' helmed by Ang Lee, will be developed as a computer-animated picture or that the angry green title character will be completely CGI. George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic is lead digital f/x house on the project.

Casting for the picture is still under way. While no release date has yet been set, the Universal actioner is anticipated to storm into theaters in summer 2003.

I expect we'll see lots more of the TV series around release time.

I know it's early, but do we know which version of the Hulk it'll be? I'm guessing it'll be the same from the TV show, which was the "Banner gets mad, 'Hulk Smash!'" type.
