June 5, 2003 — From Comics2Film's coverage of the Hulk junket, producer Avi Arad discusses Ang Lee:
Q: The idea of Ang Lee directing the hulk. What was your first reaction?
Avi Arad (AA): Wow!
That was my first...well, when Gale and I had this very short list of directors, we knew that to do the Hulk, we couldn't use a shooter. It needed to be a character-based director.
At the very, very top [of the list] was Ang, especially after "Crouching Tiger" because "Crouching Tiger" showed us, more than "The Ice Storm," showed us that he can do a great character piece and outlandish, out of this world action. The action in "Crouching Tiger" didn't make any sense: walking on twigs. Flying on water and all this biblical stuff. We knew that this movie would have to be a really complicated mix of high drama and out of this world action.
