THR reports (via SciFi Wire) that Liv Tyler will star opposite Edward Norton in Marvel Studios' The Incredible Hulk, signing on to play Betty Ross, the longtime love interest of Dr. Bruce Banner/the Hulk.
Louis Leterrier is directing the movie, which is being produced by Avi Arad, Gale Anne Hurd and Kevin Feige. Ross, a classic Hulk character from the comic book's beginning in 1962, is Banner's fellow scientist and an ally in his quest to rid him of his lurking monster deep inside. The movie will unfold with Ross estranged from Banner (Norton), but with the pursuit of the Hulk heating up and Banner on the run trying to cure his condition, Ross finds herself swept back into his life.
Jennifer Connelly played the character in the 2003 movie Hulk, directed by Ang Lee. Filming on the new Hulk is slated to begin in the summer in Toronto. Universal Pictures is distributing.

Variety reports Peter Jackson will make his next movie at DreamWorks. Committing at least $65 million, DreamWorks in association with Film 4 has won the bidding for Jackson's bigscreen adaptation of Alice Sebold's best-selling 2002 book
The Lovely Bones.
Jackson is set to begin lensing in October in Pennsylvania and New Zealand from a script he co-wrote with Lord of the Rings collaborators Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh. Paramount, which owns DreamWorks, will distribute "Bones" worldwide, with Jackson promising to deliver the film by the fourth quarter 2008.
Bones is closer in tone to Jackson's 1994 "Heavenly Creatures than the epic Ring series or King Kong. Sebold's book tells the story of a 14-year-old who has been raped and killed, and now watches over her family and killer.
"When you read an emotionally magical story that cries out to be turned into a major motion picture, you hope its winding path can find its way to the door of your own company," DreamWorks' Steven Spielberg said.

Sin City, 300 and technically the latest Batman origin flick is a takeoff of all the Dark Knight Returns stuff he did, a Sin City 2 is already in the works and now we'll get
Ronin. In the story, a ronin, or disgraced samurai warrior, bears the shame of allowing his master to be assassinated by a shape-shifting demon in 13th century Japan. When the master's sword is unearthed in mid-21st century New York, the ronin and the demon are brought to life and battle gangs of mutants and thugs to try to take possession of the mythical sword. The graphic novel was published by DC Comics.
