Leterrier, who had expressed interest in directing ''[[Iron Man (2008 film)|Iron Man]]'' for Marvel, was brought onboard and Penn began work on a script that would be much closer to the comics and the [[The Incredible Hulk (1978 TV series)|1978 television series of the same name]]. In April 2007, Norton was hired to portray Banner and to rewrite Penn's screenplay. His script positioned the film as a [[Reboot (fiction)|reboot]] of the series, distancing it from the 2003 film to give the new version its own identity. Norton was ultimately not credited for his writing. Filming took place from July to November 2007, primarily in [[Toronto]], with additional filming in [[New York City]] and [[Rio de Janeiro]]. Over 700 visual effects shots were created in post-production using a combination of [[motion capture]] and [[computer-generated imagery]] to complete the film.
