Instead of being 100% animated as in the other Hulk films Mark Ruffalo will be hooked up to state-of-the-art motion capture tech like what was used in Avatar, but newer.

Ruffalo describes his version of Hulk as "a loose cannon - he's the teammate none of them are sure they want; it's like throwing a grenade into the middle of the group and hoping it turns out well...."

You're aware motion capture was used in the Hulk movies, correct? There's really no major difference in the way they're going about it. It's just an advancement of previous technology they've utilized.

Those films used key-frame animation, facial dots & strobes to get expressions for the animators to track etc. and limited amounts of motion capture (much in post & not done by the actor) while this will use the Avatar-style performance/facial capture methods for most of the film using Mark Ruffalo - huge difference.

AICN report from the Disney 23 expo's The Avengers panel presentation....

THE AVENGERS (May 4, 2012)

?

Kevin Feige receives a warm welcome from the D23 audience, and further earns their respect by name-dropping noted Imagineer Tony Baxter. Smooth.

Feige wastes no time giving the crowd what they want - if what they wanted was a tense confrontation between Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston). At this point in THE AVENGERS, Loki is being held in a cylindrical containment pod somewhere in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Helicarrier (this cell is strong enough to hold the Hulk, so Loki's goin' nowhere). After demonstrating for Loki what will happen if he acts up (the pod will be ejected, subjecting Loki to a perilous - if not fatal for a god - 30,000-foot drop), Fury lashes into Loki for threatening Earth with war and killing "for fun". Fury is desperate. Loki responds by taunting Fury with the "real power" of the tesseract. Finished with this conversation, Fury walks away and mutters "Let me know if 'real power' wants a magazine or something." It's not a mindblowingly great scene, but it's well-written and directed. So far, so good.

We then get an action-filled montage crosscut with a Stark/Loki confrontation from later in the film. Stark, in his insouciant way, gives Loki a "head count", letting the god know that he's up against two master assassins, a demigod, a living legend "who lives up to the legend", etc. Then comes the above-quoted exchange.

Loki: "I have an army."

Tony Stark: "We have a Hulk."

The audience erupts. Then Feige introduces most of The Avengers (Chris Evans is absent) and Loki. Now the audience is on their feet. Robert Downey Jr. takes the microphone and asks if they'd like to see the footage again. They do. And so with a "See you next year", the footage is replayed and the Walt Disney Studios D23 showcase comes to an end.

I'm sure many of you have been wondering when you are actually going to be able to watch the first full theatrical trailer for Joss Whedon's The Avengers. Well, it seems to have been confirmed that the trailer will show in front of Hugh Jackman's next film Real Steel.

The report comes from a Russian website called Vest and with the help Google Translate here's what they said,

Today at Saint Petersburg's Movie Expo Disney representatives have confirmed, that the first theatrical trailer for The Avengers will be attached to the release of Real Steel (the first week of October). Also, if everything goes according to the plan - then the whole cast will be in Moscow for the live premiere of the movie in May.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
