I’m not sure why, but all the news coming from the movie studios today involves announcing major release dates. Universal secured a big batch of 2012+ dates for their projects, including The Bourne Legacy, Snow White and the Huntsman, 47 Ronin, Ouija and The Dark Tower, but that’s not the only news. 20th Century Fox set a June 22nd, 2012 release for the upcoming Timur Bekmambetov directed adaptation Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Yes this is that awesome revised classic written by Seth Grahame-Smith (also of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies) that the guy of Wanted and Night Watch is directing. Sounds great to me!

While talking to Digital Spy during a U.K. press tour for The Kids Are All Right, Ruffalo—who’s already the third actor to play Banner in the movies, but is the first who will play the Hulk himself in the anticipated film and the subsequent Hulk movies through the magic of motion capture—has revealed that he’s been looking at different interpretations of the character, including that of Bill Bixby.
