tHE BIG GREEN MACHINE IS COMMING BACK!!!!!
LOS ANGELES (The Hollywood Reporter) --- Josh Lucas is poised to reteam with his "A Beautiful Mind" co-star Jennifer Connelly in Universal Pictures' big-screen adaptation of the Marvel comic book "The Hulk" for director Ang Lee.
The computer-generated, effects-laden project is targeted for a spring start and a tentpole release June 20, 2003.
"Hulk" centers on research scientist Dr. Bruce Banner (Eric Bana) and his monstrous green-skinned alter ego, the Hulk. There is a love story between Banner and a female colleague, Betty (Connelly), who happens to be the daughter of Gen. Ross (Sam Elliott), a man in charge of the military base where scientific developments occur. Nick Nolte will portray Banner's father, a brilliant scientist who unwittingly passes on a tragic legacy to his son. Lucas will play Talbott, Betty's childhood friend who is now a soldier and rival to Banner.
"Hulk" is being produced by Gale Anne Hurd, Marvel Studios president Avi Arad and Good Machine co-chairman and Lee's producing partner James Schamus.
Lucas, repped by ICM, recently starred in Fox Searchlight's "The Deep End." He next stars in "Sweet Home Alabama" opposite Reese Witherspoon, Victor Nunez's indie feature "Coastlines" and Lions Gate Films' "The Weight of Water."
His credits also include "American Psycho" and "You Can Count on Me."
