Tim Roth Fights The HulkBy Josh Tyler: 2007-05-09 15:43:38
If there was one single thing which they got horribly wrong with the Eric Bana version of the Hulk, it’s the bad guy. The villain was truly awful, and the way the movie ended with him simply blowing up was even worse. If Marvel’s new version, The Incredible Hulk, is to have any hope of bettering the other movie then they need a great bad guy for Hulk to face off against.
Well they’re off to a great start. Variety says they’ve hired Tim Roth to play the film’s villain, an oversized adversary called Abomination. Apparently they’re planning some sort of Spider-Man/Venom dynamic with the film, and Roth is actually playing Abomination’s alter ego Emil Blonsky. With a name like that, you almost have to be an angry bad guy. Blonsky is a KGB agent who intentionally exposes himself to the same gamma rays that made Bruce Banner Hulk out, only he takes in more of them. That makes him a bigger, hulkier version of what poor Banner turns into, except Blonsky is unable to turn back into his human form. He blames Banner for his troubles and goes after him. I'm having a hard time getting excited about this whole Hulk/anti-hulk storyline, but Tim Roth is playing the bad guy and almost nobody is better at being bad than Tim. Unfortunately he may not be in the movie very much if Abomination is unable to turn back into puny Blonsky between smashing things. Hopefully Roth will also do the voice of Abomination. It’d be a shame to have a Tim Roth baddie in your movie but only use him as a glorified cameo.
