Edward Norton vs. Marvel


It's been known that Edward Norton has been having some issues with the final cut of The Incredible Hulk. Here's the gist. Edward Norton was approached for the role of the Hulk but he turned it down. But Marvel insisted that Norton meet with the director and see the script. Norton made a deal with Marvel saying the he'll do the part if he can have some creative control over the film. Norton wrote some scenes that built on his character and was mostly dialog. Things were fine until the editing of the movie basically cut out most of Norton's stuff. Norton was angry and it can be said that the final cut of the film was not up to Norton's standards.

Apparently about 70 minutes were cut out of the movie, but the good news is that Marvel plans on adding the extra scenes onto the Bluray and DVD releases. Then we can decide whether it was a good, or bad, thing cutting Edward Norton's stuff. For more info on the tussle, go here.
