So Unprofessional!
What a diva!
There's nothing worse than a celebrity who won't promote his own work, even though they're contractually obligated to.
Just look at Mushy Fartone!
This time around, though, it's Edward Norton who's being the diva.
Norton, Courtney Love and Salma Hayek's ex, has decided he will hardly be doing any publicity for the new Hulk movie, according to reports.
He not only stars in the movie but according also helped to write and tweak the screenplay - something he DEMANDED.
Well, after a fall-out with Marvel and Universal, he's declined to do much publicity.
Thankfully, Liv Tyler is doing her part to promote the film.
As for the next two sequels of the movie, turns out Norton might not be in them.
He apparently didn't sign for the following films, most likely in an attempt to to get more money. Tyler and director Louis Leterrier have both signed up for the entire trilogy.
And in case you haven't heard, Robert Downer Jr is making a surprise appearance in the Hulk as Tony Stark (Iron Man).
Could this mean a crossover by each character in the upcoming Hulk and Iron Man movies?
As for Norton, do your job, and help promote the film!

Perez, you fucking moron. There is no confirmation of a trilogy yet - stop jumping the gun on your news stories, especially since this film's numbers haven't even been tallied yet.
Yes, there's a chance from what I hear, but no confirmation of anything further as of yet.
Brilliant!!
Well I guess when you got going on, you can be a diva. He is an excellent performer!
I've already seen laods of press for this with Ed. In otehr news- I WANT HIM! hhahah! XXX
we laff at him in the biz.
thinks he is the bee's knees and cant
even keep his ladybug happi….
fug diva ya.
he is very hot
Why don't you do *your* job and research a little before getting all judgemental?
I hate to point out the (painfully) obvious, but Stark's appearance in Hulk is part of the set up for an Ultimate Avengers film, not a random crossover. The producers have admitted that they are making the Avenger's characters films 1-by-1 then they'll make the ensemble pic of all time. Movies on Captain America and Thor are already in production…Antman or The Wasp on the way? Dunno…
Edward Norton is an acting GOD something that Perez doesn't know jack shit about, just like everything else he writes. EN doesn't do many interviews because he doesn't want idiots like Perez misconstruing what he says or writing about his personal life. More actors should take his lead and keep their mouths shut and act. The ones that don't just need the publicity or they have no talent like his good friend Paris Hilton, gag me!
why do we care about this movie? didn't a hulk movie just come out a year or two ago? did anyone go see it?
uh, did anyone see the TV Guide piece last night? Sure looked like Norton was promoting it there!
Yeah - hate to say I told you so to all the people who thought dropping Eric Bana was a good idea. He was the best looking super hero actor out there. Now, what do we have….Edward Norton playing Edward Norton. The same voice, the same mannerisms. Smarmy!
Hopefully, they can bring Bana back…Maybe then we can forget about this EPIC FAIL!
Perez, it's disgusting when You draw white crap on People's faces. Save it for Yours!
Perez, it's disgusting when You draw white crap on People's faces. Save it for Yours!!
One hot man!
A diva is a woman. Edward is a divo. (He earned the right to be. Great actor.)
People, stop believing everything you read. This is why he shuns the press. Keep up the good work, Edward, you're awesome.
Crossover??? AVENGERS!! DUH!!!
And they better pick a hot guy to play Thor. Thor is rockin hot and a god and the son of Oden.
I wanna see a big hot strong guy rocken that hammer. Like a bleached out Dwayne Johnson.
He more than likely "demanded" to make changes to the script because I bet the first draft was a total piece of crap! Didn't you SEE the first Hulk movie?! It was a giant turd.
I LOVE EDWARD NORTON!!!!!!!!!!!! SO SEXY!!!!!!! WHAT A GREAT ACTOR!!!!! WHY SHOULD HE PROMOTE HIS MOVIE WHEN THE COMMERCIAL IS ON EVERY 5 SECONDS????? WHO NEEDS TO PROMOTE IT? EVEN IF HE DOESN'T THAT'S HIS CHOICE!! GET OVER URSELF, PEREZ!! U always have second-class information after TMZ beat you to it!!!!!!!!!
for fuck sake perez, dont u know anything? ed norton doesnt do promo for any of his films, he just doesnt do it. its not the hulk, its just the promo he hates. cut the guy some slack, hes great in the movie, and i just hope he signs for the next 2. oh, and as for downey's appearnce at the end, dont u know anything? the avengers movie is out in 2011, thats why hes in it.
As Wohoo said there was ALWAYS supposed to be a tie in, that's how Marvel works Perez! He may also appear in The Avengers: Captain America since there will be an Avengers movie in 2 years. I thought you were supposed to be up to date on Movie stuff!
Ed Norton looks TERRIBLE in the trailers for the film anyway….hopefully they can get Eric Bana back. He was much better…
Ed can just go back to a….hmm…..uh….what is he famous for again?
www.jeff-bunnell.com
ed norton is better then marvel anyday
their lucky to have him come close to his film and can suck it if he doesnt want to pimp their films
Actually there is going to be an "Avengers" movie in which Ed Noton was suppossed to play the Hulk and Robert Downey JR. was suppossed to play Ironman. Samuel L. Jackson was suppossed to be Nick Fury. There was a secret scene after the credits of "Ironman" in which Sam Jackson takes on this role for the first time. He asked Ironman if he thought that he was the only superhero. Now that Norton is being a diva, who knows if that's going to happen…
goh besareshoon een kesafathayeh amagh! engaree keh az dahat amadan!
Bring back Eric Bana!
who actually sees film based on listening to an actor promote his or her film?
most people already want to see the film prior to tuning into tv spots where actors are promoting. plus he did the skit on jimmy kimmel.
and i've seen a hulk ad at least 15 times a day without fail.
he's a great actor, there is no denying that. i watch his films b.c he is talented and can actually act.
people get way into actors personal lives and it's not necessary …he's an actor he's not some guy trying to be our best friend.
edward norton is an underrated actor. He should've won an oscar for american history x.
oh come on!!! he's one of the best actors of this era. stop creating useless drama just b/c ur a useless "journalist" if u even wanna call urself that. prick.
dear fucky was it…if perez isnt even a journalist, and you call him a "celebretard" why is it that you are looking at his page in the first place let alone posting on it..hmm go back to your unimportant life and don't hate on perez
this movie is horrible.
watch his movie
"american history X" its much better
oh shut up perez! if he'll make a trilogy, his movies will be like any shit movies like xman 3, spiderman3 haryypotter. etc. Hes not like any actors who'd sign for future crappy/sell out movies.
they're actually setting it it up for the avengers movie coming out in a few years… marvel is making they're movies like their comics… crossovers and new teams merge as the story lines progress… same characters new adventures basically.
I liked you, Perez, until this low blow to Mr. Norton.
Re: Alann –
And, Ed Norton is extraordinarily sexy!
Re: brand –
I laugh at how unintelligent you seem.
I think Norton is incredibly smart. And I agree he's undervalued as an actor; what works against him is his being a true actor. He never fails to choose an interesting, well-written movie and create an engaging, believable, well-wrought character. He stays about as far away from the paps and the press as possible. The only reason he is famous is because he is smart, talented, and successful. He's focused on his art and not on being famous or exploiting his fame. That's very rare in the entertainment industry these days. I admire him for that about as much I appreciate and enjoy his films. (EVEN Death to Smoochy, which I suspect was widely panned because it's a SMART comedy, and not a lot of people, in this country at least, "do" smart.
I was actually kind of worried and shocked when I found out Norton was doing "The Hulk". I'm uneducated as far as the comic goes, but from the little I saw of the last Hulk movie, I didn't see how another could possibly be worth making. I worried this would be a bad career move on Norton's part. After being told by friends who are hardcore fans of the comic how excited they were for the upcoming film, I figured they must have heard good things. After reading Perez's post, I'm betting this is actually a pretty good movie. I wouldn't be surprised if Norton was a fan of the comics and that's why he wanted to do the movie. Demanding to help write and tweak the screenplay shows that this is a project that was important to him.
And the comic fans would be pretty pissed off by another disappointment, so this movie has to be good if the studio is planning two sequels. I'd be willing to bet that Norton was committed to finally doing the comic books justice. And I don't doubt that he will. As far as not doing press, Norton doesn't need to. His work stands for itself, and most people, even if they aren't particularly brilliant, trust him to not disappoint. And if the studio (money hungry) and Norton (an artist with standards) had enough "creative differences" to make it in the press, I doubt I'd blame Norton for not doing the next two movies. IF that's whats happened. Staying true to your work is more important than money, especially if money isn't a problem. I skimmed through the comments and I really don't think Perez has a chance in Hell of making people believe that Norton is a "diva", or to make fans doubt his character.
He did his part in promoting his film.
He's done plenty of promoting via appearances, interviews, and so on.
I think he's done his part.
He got screwed in the writing credits. I'd be angry if I were him too.
I don't think he's been out of line at all.
He's very talented.
they're building up for a justice league movie!
Re: Maz –
bahahhahaha Justice League is DC comics
The Avengers is 2011, with Iron man2 and Captain America before the premier of The Avengers (maybe hulk). After that Thor will have his own movie (now im skeptical on that)
regardless, they already decided that if hulk wasn't going to be in it, he could appear as apart of it (CGI only anyone?). Nick Fury was already introduced and doesn't need a movie and same with black widow (even though she was not apart of the normal Avengers team, that would be Antman)
The reason my main man RDJ shows up is the same reason Samuel Jackson shows up in Iron Man: Marvel is planning an epic Avengers movie, combining all the smaller superhero movies into one huge amazing blockbuster. and the Hulk has got nothing on Ironman.
Leave him alone, get a life and stop acting like 'The Insider's Pat O Brien'. Who thinks he knows-it-alll and knows nothing. Man! a 16 year old is much mature than u r.
Ed Norton's acting rocks and your words mean NOTHING infront of him.
fuck perez fuckin chi chi man
boom bye bye inna batty bwoy head!!!!!
