The Hulk Invades Rio de Janeiro
Bob
Nadkarni, owner of The Maze Inn had been awaiting the arrival of a special
guest...a green guest:
the Hulk! For a few weeks in November, the narrow alleys
of the hillside shantytown community Tavares Bastos were invaded by Edward
Norton, William Hurt and the rest of the cast and crew making the new version
of the film The Incredible Hulk. Parts of the movie, which is to be released in
the U.S. in June 2008, were filmed in the B&B, including a dramatic jump
(by a stuntman for Norton) out of The Maze’s panoramic picture window. Members
of the cast also stayed in Bob’s art-filled pousada.
towards the construction of a health
clinic in the neighborhood, and to donate computer to the local school.
