Taiwan-born director Ang Lee, perhaps best known for his Oscar-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, is taking a big risk with the splashy summer flick Hulk.
Hulk, which debuts on Friday, is about the comic book character whose altered DNA has made him 15-feet tall, green, muscle bound and extremely angry.
Lee shelled out a reported US$150 million on the movie, spent nearly a year away from home to help animators create the computerized Hulk and put his reputation as an Oscar-caliber director on the line.
