Incredible Hulk for Adult Entertainment
Vivid Entertainment, the world's leading adult movie studio, is releasing the cover art for its eagerly awaited upcoming production of The Incredible Hulk: A XXX Porn Parody as part of its SuperXXXHeroes series.
The studio has already started production on the project, which will be a send-up of the iconic television series from the 1970s and 80s that was based on the Marvel comic book character of the same name. The movie will be directed by award-winning B. Skow, known for his best-selling Brand New Faces series.
Vivid said veteran adult actor Lee Stone, will play the Hulk character. Dale Dabone, who played the lead in Batman XXX: A Porn Parody, distributed by Vivid, will co-star in the Hulk parody as the lead character's alter ego, Dr. Bruce Banner.
The SuperXXXHeroes parodies from Vivid spoof some of the world's most popular comic heroes. Vivid Founder/Co-chairman Steven Hirsch notes, "These projects are moving forward rapidly. Axel Braun has already started pre-production on a parody of Superman. Along with The Incredible Hulk we plan to do parodies of The Green Hornet, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Captain America and Thor as part of the new imprint."
Oh Lordy!

Mark Ruffalo is in Final Discussions to be The Hulk
Wow, this something new... Cutie Mark Ruffalo is in final talks to be The Hulk in The Avengers movie.
Deadline has the stuff:
Imagine the Hollywood actor whom you'd least expect to play The Incredible Hulk in The Avengers, and maybe, just maybe, you'd come up with the name of Mark Ruffalo. He's always been an actor's actor and is getting critical raves in Focus Features' The Kids Are All Right which oepned last weekend. But I've learned that he's now in late-stage discussions between Marvel and his brand-new agency United Talent to play this key member of The Avengers ensemble. Like Edward Norton, whom he'd be replacing, Ruffalo would bring real chops to the role. But, unlike Edward Norton, he wouldn't an on-set asshole.

New Rumor: Joaquin Phoenix as the Hulk?
I didn't say, but the CHUD.com did:
Reliable sources tell me that Marvel has already put out an offer, and the actor they've spoken to is Joaquin Phoenix, believe it or not. Phoenix is taking time to mull over the offer and the bigger implications - Marvel may yet resurrect the Hulk franchise - but Marvel hopes to have him in place by Comic Con, which is when they want to announce their new Bruce Banner.We will see if this true or not.
As of right now treat this as a rumor, as I was unable to get solid confirmations or denials (it's the weekend!). Phoenix might very well turn the studio down - I'm hearing that whoever plays Banner will be the lowest man on The Avengers pay totem pole - but this would probably be a good move for the actor. Phoenix needs to come back from the wilderness, where he has firmly planted himself since he made a weird, probably put-on documentary with Casey Affleck.
Over the last year or so Phoenix has seemingly melted down, becoming a terrible rapper, an inveterate drug abuser and a complete train wreck, leading up to his supposed retirement from Hollywood. That may have all been for the documentary (which has been screening for potential buyers), so getting back in the saddle immediately, now that the doc is done and on the market, makes sense for him.
The Ed Norton/ Marvel Drama continues
This past weekend, I posted a piece about Ed Norton not reprising his role as the Hulk in The Avengers movie.
Now, it gets jazzy as Norton's agent weighs in the drama. HitFix has the scoop:
Brian Swardstrom of WME responds with the following:
"This offensive statement from Kevin Feige at Marvel is a purposefully misleading, inappropriate attempt to paint our client in a negative light. Here are the facts: two months ago, Kevin called me and said he wanted Edward to reprise the role of Bruce Banner in The Avengers. He told me it would be his fantasy to bring Edward on stage with the rest of the cast at ComiCon and make it the event of the convention.
When I said that Edward was definitely open to this idea, Kevin was very excited and we agreed that Edward should meet with Joss Whedon to discuss the project. Edward and Joss had a very good meeting (confirmed by Feige to me) at which Edward said he was enthusiastic at the prospect of being a part of the ensemble cast. Marvel subsequently made him a financial offer to be in the film and both sides started negotiating in good faith.
This past Wednesday, after several weeks of civil, uncontentious discussions, but before we had come to terms on a deal, a representative from Marvel called to say they had decided to go in another direction with the part. This seemed to us to be a financial decision but, whatever the case, it is completely their prerogative, and we accepted their decision with no hard feelings.
We know a lot of fans have voiced their public disappointment with this result, but this is no excuse for Feige's mean spirited, accusatory comments. Counter to what Kevin implies here, Edward was looking forward to the opportunity to work with Joss and the other actors in the Avengers cast, many of whom are personal friends of his. Feige's statement is unprofessional, disingenuous and clearly defamatory. Mr. Norton talent, tireless work ethic and professional integrity deserve more respect, and so do Marvel's fans.

New Rumor: No Ed Norton as the Hulk in The Avengers movie
The word is Ed Norton won't be back as the Hulk in The Avengers movie.
HitFix has the scoop:
How much of a reaction do you think there would be if Marvel introduced Joss Whedon as the official director of "The Avengers," something that they've been refusing to confirm ever since the rumors first broke?
And how much of a reaction would there be if he walked out onstage to personally introduce The Avengers?
Imagine that. "Ladies and gentlemen, you all know Tony Stark..." and there's Robert Downey Jr. "Of course, you know Nick Fury..." and there's Samuel L. Jackson. "I'd like to introduce you to two more of our team members, Thor..." and out walks Chris Hemsworth. "... and Captain America..." and then Chris Evans joins everyone else onstage. "... and, of course, the jolly green giant himself, The Hulk!"
And then some guy no one's ever seen walks out. And he is decidedly not Edward Norton.
Does that make sense to anyone else?
Because right now... that's the plan. After all the careful groundwork that Marvel Studios has laid the last few years, and after the way they've built this great cast film after film, they're going to make a colossal misstep at the finish line. According to Marvel sources, the company has decided that they are going to cast "an unknown" to play Bruce Banner and The Hulk in the film.
I remember hearing that Ed didn't want to be Bruce again, however he did meet with Joss and it seemed to go well.
So, what happened?
I guess I will learn more at Comic Con.
