Screenwriter Zak Penn was probably pretty bummed when his "Hulk" screenplay was passed over, but he’s pretty psyched now, what with "The Incredible Hulk" and "The Avengers" on his plate.
From ComicBookMovie.com: ""My draft of the first ‘Hulk’ opened with him already having transformed into the Hulk," explained Penn. "It opened with him at a roadside bar with these guys picking on him and him saying, ‘Don’t make me angry. You won’t like me when I’m angry,’ and then transforming, and then you flash back to reveal how it all happened.
"Part of the way that this ‘Hulk’ came about is that they went back and read my draft. They went back through all of the stuff that they had commissioned and said, ‘This is more of the tone that we wanted.’ So it doesn’t really require us ignoring the first movie, but that said, there’s a lot of stuff in the first movie that I’m not even going to touch on."
