From the Marvel Universe of the world's most popular Super Heroes comes the $234.6 million worldwide summer hit that fans have been waiting for as THE INCREDIBLE HULK blasts onto DVD and Blu-ray Hi-Def from Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Marvel Studios on October 21, 2008. Filled with unstoppable action, spectacular visual effects, and non-stop thrills, THE INCREDIBLE HULK is directed by Louis Leterrier and features an all-star cast including Academy Award® nominees Edward Norton and Tim Roth, Liv Tyler and Academy Award® winner William Hurt. The visually spectacular, super-charged release will be available in three versions: a three-disc Special Edition DVD available for a limited time only; a two-disc Blu-ray release, offered in collectible 3D lenticular packaging for a limited time only; and a single-disc DVD edition.

Both the Special Edition DVD and Blu-ray releases include over two hours of bonus extras, including an exclusive, never-before-seen alternate opening and a digital copy of the film that is iPod, PC or MAC compatible. The two-disc Blu-ray set, offering the perfect picture and purest digital sound, will also include all-new, interactive features including My Chat, an innovative application that allows viewers to communicate with friends and family while watching the film for a fully immersive, exclusive experience.

The suspense-filled, action-packed story is the epic tale of Dr. Bruce Banner, whose life has been changed forever by a dose of gamma radiation that transforms him when provoked into the terrifying and powerful Hulk. Though pursued by military leaders intent on harnessing his unbelievable strength as a secret weapon, Banner must call upon the hero within himself to battle an equally powerful adversary, The Abomination.

The single-disc edition includes the film and deleted scenes. In addition to these components, both the Special Edition DVD and the Blu-ray Hi-Def release will include the following:

Me I'm looking forward to the alterane opening sequence which the director hinted at having a Captain America reference. Along with the missing 20 or so minutes that Norton wanted. I doubt they will be referenced as such though.
 
Oh, and here I thought this was going to be about the complete series set for the television series... :p

That being said, I'm looking forward to this release even though I wish the extra footage was restored to the film.
 
I'm not terribly enamored of the cover art, but I liked the movie well enough and will probably pick up the 3 disk edition.
 
I think the beginning will be the scene from the novelisation where
Banner tries to kill himself. Will they find Cap's body frozen there too?? :confused:
 
I'm not terribly enamored of the cover art, but I liked the movie well enough and will probably pick up the 3 disk edition.

Yeah, I actually kind of hate the cover art. I wish they'd have gone with the moster image that shows Norton/Banner facing the camera, eyes downcast, with the enormous silhouette of the Hulk standing behind him. Great poster, and it would've made a great DVD cover.

Agreed. That was a great poster and a lovely allusion to the television series. But I guess they had to go with the action shot!

Yeah, that would have been better.

LOL. Well, there are enough custom DVD cover sites around the 'net that I should be able to find one somewhere that makes use of the movie poster...
 
I wouldn't hold your breath on the Captain America reference in the alternative opening. If anything, it'll be a fleeting glimpse and nothing more.
 
A fleeting glimpse of the shield was all that was in Iron Man.
Drove many a fanboy nuts.
I imagine the same is true here.
 
So, no extended cut then? With three discs, you think they would deliver the version Edward Norton and the director preferred.
