From comicbookresources.com:

Superhero Hype has a press release from Universal Pictures noting that “The first teaser trailer for hotly anticipated summer superhero epic ‘The Incredible Hulk’ will have its exclusive broadcast debut in a simultaneous ‘roadblock’ on seven networks on Wednesday, March 12. This first opportunity to see material from the motion picture will be aired at approximately 9:56 p.m. EDT/6:56 p.m. PDT on MTV, MTVU, MTV2, VH1, Spike TV, Nick at Nite and CMT. Following the on-air premiere, the trailer will be immediately posted on MTV.com for an exclusive period. The trailer will begin showing in theaters across the country on Friday, March 14, with prints of Rogue Pictures’ ‘Doomsday.’”

Starring Edward Norton as Bruce Banner, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross (I prefer Jennifer Connolly), Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky (expect him to steal the show) and William Hurt as General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, this film has been a virtual ghost in comparison to compatriot super hero flicks The Dark Knight and Iron Man.

As I’ve said before, I’m in that 5 person camp of tightly knit individuals who like the Ang Lee Hulk film. I firmly believe that one day it will receive the respect it deserves rather than being derided as ‘that terrible Hulk movie.’ Rather than a navel-gazing desert-set affair, this newer version of old jade jaws promises to be a wall-to-wall slam bang monster fighting affair.

Directed by Louis Leterrier (Transporter) and written by Zak Penn (X2), this movie should deliver to the popcorn munchers around the world who yearn to see The Hulk fight it out with fellow monster The Abomination in the heart of New York City.

We all get our first glimpse this Friday.

Oh, and go see Doomsday.
