HOLLYWOOD - A sequel to The Incredible Hulk is set to hit the big screen in 2008, and it will stay closer to the classic TV series than its comic-book origins.
The movie will reference events which took place in Ang Lee's 2003 movie, but Eric Bana, who played the title character, will not return.
Screenwriter Zak Penn says, "It's definitely not a remake. We're not going to tell the origin story of the Hulk. I think the tone will shift. We all loved the action (in the first one), and I like a lot of the creature stuff and I liked the performances in the movie.
"There's something about the tone of the TV show--there's something about the man on the run with a dark secret, Jekyll-and-Hyde theme that we could do more with. There wasn't much of that in the Hulk movie."
