Conflict behind the scenes of ‘The Incredible Hulk’
Edward Norton turned down the starring role in Ang Lee’s 2003 Hulk movie but decided to take the lead when it was offered by Marvel this time around. During a promo interview in August he revealed that he had rewritten the entire script which was originally done by Zak Penn (X-Men: The Last Stand). The studio announced that Norton was hired to rewrite and Tim Roth confirmed that Norton worked on the script every day on the set.
Earlier this year we learned that Norton was arguing about the length of the film. Marvel wanted it shorter, Norton wanted it longer. Marvel won however Norton is now refusing to do any interviews to promo the film. Now we’re being told that Zak Penn will receive sole credit for writing the script. This was confirmed with Penn’s reps and the WGA.
The Incredible Hulk hits theaters June 13th.

It’s too bad about this conflict. Edward Norton is an exceptional actor.
