CBM, along with several other movie sites, has been sent the following press release and trailer for Liberator, a short movie starring the man known best to comic book fans for his iconic role as the Hulk in the 1970s television series and more recently as the voice of the character in The Incredible Hulk (2008) and The Avengers. Personally, I always enjoyed seeing Ferrigno take on comedic roles in the likes of King of Queens and I Love You Man, but this looks like good fun.
