Rhythm & Hues Studios will be the lead visual effects house on The Incredible Hulk from Marvel Studios and Universal Pictures.

Louis Leterrier will direct from a script by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Zak Penn; Lee also will serve as an executive producer. This project will give the Hulk a new look, adds The Hollywood Reporter; the Ang Lee-directed 2003 Hulk featured a CG character and lead visual effects from Industrial Light + Magic (ILM).

Pointing to the company's history with creating animals, Rhythm & Hues film division president Lee Berger sees The Incredible Hulk as a great next project; it's scheduled to start production in June in Toronto.
