• WHAT? — “The Incredible Hulk” (2008) a new Hulk movie not connected to the 2003 film.
• WHO? – Betty Ross, the estranged love of Dr. Bruce Banner. She is strong-willed, intelligent, and loving. She was played by Jennifer Connelly in “Hulk” and Liv Tyler (in all four of the above photos) in “The Incredible Hulk”.
• WHY? – The role is an emotional one, as Betty is constantly burdened by the issues Dr. Banner has in being the Hulk. She is at times no nonsense, as she is a Doctor herself. The combination of both the emotional and strong sides add up to a well-balanced character that Melina could sink her teeth into.
• PLOT? – The explosive, action-packed adventure in one of the all-time most popular superhero sagas unfolds with a cure in reach for the world’s most primal force of fury: THE INCREDIBLE HULK. We find scientist Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) living in shadows, scouring the planet for an antidote. But the warmongers who dream of abusing his powers won’t leave him alone, nor will his need to be with the only woman he has ever loved, Betty Ross (Liv Tyler). Upon returning to civilization, our brilliant doctor is ruthlessly pursued by The Abomination (Tim Roth) — a nightmarish beast of pure adrenaline and aggression whose powers match The Hulk’s own. A fight of comic-book proportions ensues as Banner must call upon the hero within to rescue New York City from total destruction. And on June 13, 2008, one scientist must make an agonizing final choice — accept a peaceful life as Bruce Banner or the creature he could permanently become: THE INCREDIBLE HULK.

quotes

(From the 2003 “Hulk” film)

• Bruce Banner: “You found me!”
Betty Ross: “You weren’t that hard to find.”
Bruce Banner: “…Yes, I was.”

• Betty Ross: “All you’ve given Bruce is fear. Fear of life.”
Bruce’s Father: “Fear. Perhaps, Miss Ross. And loneliness, too. Yes. I feel them both. But I have lived completely once. I was so much in love. And she so much wanted a baby. My baby. I could tell from the moment she conceived that it wasn’t a son I had given her, but something else. A monster, maybe. I should have put a stop to it right then, but I was curious, and that was my downfall. And as I watched this tiny life unfold, I began to imagine the horror of it, and my curiosity was replaced with compassion. But they took away my chance to cure him. Your father threw me out. I remember that day so well. Every moment. Every sensation. Walking into the house. The feeling of the handle of the knife in my hand. I knew I was doing a father’s work, fulfilling a father’s mercy… but then she surprised me. It was as if she and the knife merged. You cannot imagine the unbearable finality of it. And in that one moment, I took everything that was dear to me and transformed it into nothing more than a memory.”

• “Bruce, you were going to die. And I was standing there, helpless, knowing you were going to die!”
