Hot Discussion: Incredible Hulk TV Series

After seeing the Bill Bixby Hulk episodes on DVD, I've formed a new appreciation for the genre! Bixby was a great actor. But, even if he was still alive now, he'd be 75 years old! Not really fit for the show.

But I still think, if the ESSENSE of the old series is captured accurately and if the episodes are studied carefully, the HEART of these old episodes can be recaputred and become a bigger hit than the original in the 70's!

One thing we'd have to guard against is allowing all kinds of stupid "hipster clich¨¦s"to infect the series. That happens when directors and producers take their eye off the ball (which is the heart of the storey line), and lose focus of essence of the original 70's series. Also, when was his name changed from "David" to "Bruce"?

Now, granted, the hulk in the 70's seems rather tame, so I think more rage, carnage, and chaos is due.

Here are some casting ideas:
Dr. David Banner: Eric McCormack or Michael C. Hall (darkened hair, & thinner, science type), in case Ed Norton doesn't want to do a series.
Jack McGee: Some thin, persistent, wiry, pesky-reporter type
The Hulk: Any male weight lifter, wrestler, or body builder who can carry the role, maybe Tripple-X?

One question I'd have is how would Dr. David Banner be able to change his name so often (ex: David, Brown, David Barton, David B[whatever]...), and stay so unreachable to avoid McGee, etc. for so long in a 2010-2014 (or however long) live action TV series? There are a lot of gadgets we have now that weren't around 30 years ago: the internet, cell phones, aptops, blu-tooth, i-pods &mp3 players, smart phones, GPS, TSA Security check points, etc.

I loved the series as a kid, but don't know that it would work today. My biggest concern would be the story line from week to week. The old series became just that, old... when I watched it as an adult. Every week he would be in the wrong place at the right time and change into the Hulk twice. They would need to mix things up a little from one episode to the next. I would prefer a series where maybe he is not on the run all the time. They could never develop any story line because he had to leave town to avoid McGee, so take McGee out of the picture. As far as casting, Nathan Jones would make a perfect tv live action Hulk. He is around 6'9" and huge. He would be much more imposing than even Ferrigno was.

Hulk TV show is one of my all time favorites. I enjoyed it a lot. Hulk character is incredible. I felt sad to know that Bixby is no more....

Michael C. Hall would be an excellent choice, but I'd doubt that he'd want to immediately play another character with a "duality" complex.
