Universal Interactive, a studio of Vivendi Universal Games, announced further details today regarding its upcoming video game titles based on Universal Pictures' "The Hulk." Based upon one of Marvel Comics' most memorable and popular superhero series, this film is scheduled for release on June 20, 2003.

"The Hulk is one of the most physically powerful and emotionally compelling superhero characters ever created, and his transition to the world of interactive entertainment will extend all the power of this movie event and create a uniquely exciting game experience," said Jim Wilson, President of Universal Interactive. "UI's upcoming titles will provide Hulk fans and action-adventure gamers with all the thrilling action and adventure they have come to expect from this hugely popular character."

Universal Interactive has scheduled the release of games based on "The Hulk" for the Nintendo GameCube, the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and the Xbox video game system from Microsoft to coincide with the film's theatrical release. UI also will release a Game Boy Advance title inspired by the classic Marvel Comics series The Incredible Hulk in second quarter 2003. Additional titles may be announced in the future.

Acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee's concept for his film adaptation of the classic Marvel Comics series, "The Hulk," combines all the elements of a blockbuster visual effects-intensive superhero movie with the brooding romance and tragedy of Universal's classic horror films. In depicting "The Hulk" as both a superhero and a monster, a wish fulfillment and a nightmare, Lee and his team have stayed true to the early subversive spirit of the character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, while completely updating "The Hulk" and projecting it into the dangers and aspirations of contemporary times.
