If you recall last summer having Toronto streets blocked off to accommodate big movie trucks, trailers and their film crews, it was due to the filming for The Incredible Hulk. Shooting began in the summer and took place for about 4 months around the city in such places like on Ossington Street, University of Toronto where tanks and soldiers marched along College Street to invade the Koffler Centre and Knox College's courtyard that saw soldiers firing live ammunition. Yonge Street was closed, from College to Dundas, for 3 days to film what was said to be the final fight scene between The Abomination and The Hulk. Yonge street was dressed to look like New York City's Harlem with the remodeling of The Cannon Theatre to look like the Apollo but, as you'll see in the trailer below, there's no way a Torontonian will miss or not recognize these beasts running by Zanzibar!
This version of The Incredible Hulk, produced by Marvel Studios and directed by Louis Leterrie, stars Edward Norton as Dr. Bruce Banner, a.k.a The Hulk, Liv Tyler as Banner’s longtime love interest, scientist Betty Ross, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky, a KGB agent who becomes The Abomination and Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Starks aka Iron Man which is schedule for its own release on May 2nd, 2008.
The Incredible Hulk opens in theatres June 13.
