Marvel is getting ready to release Planet Hulk on DVD and Blu-ray on February 2. From these clips it appears that they are sticking pretty close to the original story in the comics. Greg Pak is even listed as a writer for this movie.
In case you missed the comics, Earth's heroes (the Illuminati) decided that the only way to keep us all safe from the destructive force of the Hulk was to send him to another planet. They could've tried to find a cure but building an interstellar spaceship was easier. The ship goes off course and Hulk lands on a gladiator-type planet ( Sakaar). The fun soon begins afterwards.
A couple of clips have made their way online. The first is an exclusive clip that MTV scored showing Hulk when he first arrives on Sakaar.
EDIT: It seems this video is not working here. If not, you should be able to see it on MTV Splash Page's site.
The second clip was posted by Marvel and shows Hulk in the arena fighting for his life.

Are you looking forward to watching this? If you've seen the recent Hulk Vs. features, you have an idea what to expect. I am a little surprised that they decided to adapt this storyline. Us comic book readers know it was a great arc and really brought consistent greatness back to the Hulk. It doesn't seem like something that (crazy) non-comic book readers might fully get into. Let's hope I'm wrong with that. But what I'm really hoping for is that this will lead into a World War Hulk movie (or movies).
