LEE PRIEST IS THE HULK!
Incredible news from Lee Priest, who came up to FLEX headquarters today to drop in for an extensive interview that will be featured in our August newsstand issue. While you’ll have to get that mag for his juiciest comments, Priest did tell us that he’s been chosen to be The Incredible Hulk in the movie version of the popular comic book creation, which later was a hit TV show with Lou Ferrigno as everyone’s favorite green monster. So is Priest the new Ferrigno? Yes and no. The movie Hulk will be computer generated, but modeled after Priest’s physique. The Awesome Aussie worked with famed special effects geniuses at Industrial Light and Magic, and provided movements, poses and gestures that were transferred digitally to computers that will later create the animated Hulk. It’s a process not unlike that used for animated films in order to give these manufactured creatures a more realistic motion and physiology. In other words, no green bodypaint for our blonde hero. He prefers hot pink anyway.
