'Hulk' Series is Still on the Table According to Del Toro

Joseph McCabe at Fear Net got a few but informative words from director Guillermo Del Toro in regards to the Hulk series he and Battlestar Galactica producer David Eick are working on for ABC.

It was learned late last year that the two had pitched an idea to bring a new Hulk series to television. Del Toro said that he and Eick have completed a rewrite on the outline that they submitted to ABC a month ago.

Del Toro says that this is not going to be a standard Hulk program: “Actually, one of the points of this project early on with Marvel, was ‘We're going to do this thing different, and here's how. Are you interested?’ And they were.”

In this age of spectacular special-effects, I have a difficult time picturing a new Hulk series because it would seem too cost-prohibitive for television. That said, I have a feeling that Del Toro and Eick have something an inventive idea to make this project work.

Now let’s get a Runaways series off the ground!
