"This is like, my first big action movie, and this is what I f*cking get. Wow, wow." That's Ed Norton in this Jimmy Kimmel clip from last week — the only real bit of press The Incredible Hulk star participated in (he did do the red carpet at the premiere, with "controlled" press, and the MTV Movie Awards). How come? Because, the story goes, he didn't want to have to get grilled on a little dispute over just how much he re-wrote the Hulk script submitted by Zak Penn (who wrote X-Men 3), and why Norton didn't get a screenwriting credit.

With the movie opening this weekend Norton supposedly ran off to some deserted island and refused to promote the flick, leaving Liv Tyler's lips to do all the heavy lifting.

So what was the end result of Norton refusing to take part in endless pool interviews? Oh, nothing really. Just a $60 million opening weekend box office take.

Watch Norton's Kimmel video, which hopes to rack up as many YouTube views as "I'm F*cking Matt Damon," below.

The Incredible Hulk, which premieres this weekend just a few years after its most recent remake, which went down the box office crapper, is expected to perform quite nicely once all the box office receipts are counted. But don't expect any help from its star, Ed Norton — he's off on a remote island being attended to. And he won't be coming back. At least not until Universal ups his fee.

Barack Obama might not even be the chosen Democratic candidate, and he's quite busy right now with Geraldine Ferraro's remarks about how he's "very lucky to be" a black man, but already Ed Norton and his production outfit Class 5 Films are shopping around a documentary about the senator. The lovable Obama supporter Ari Emanuel, at Endeavor, is in on the deal, and they'd like to make things happen by 2009, thank you. They began shooting footage in 2006, before he announced his presidential run, so expect the film to question his credentials even less than the media have been AS IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
