She-Hulk

She-Hulk is a 1997 TV movie starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Sue Price, Gregory Hines and Kate MacGregor Stewart. The movie is a retelling of the origin of Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk, with new elements thrown in. The TV movie was directed by Dub Goras and written by Goras, Lyle McCormick, Elliot Strange and David S. Goyer.

The movie was never aired, but a work print surfaced many years after.

Plot
The story centers on Jennifer Walters, a lawyer who gets shot by a member of a gang she helped take down, the Untraceables. She is saved by her cousin Bruce Banner (aka, The Incredible Hulk) through an emergency blood transfusion. As a result, Jennifer Walters had been granted the ability to turn into the She-Hulk and must use her newfound ability to take down Timm Kane, the leader of the Untraceables who had mutated new recruits to take down the new sensational hero.

The show has an intentionally campy vibe to go with the spirit of the older comics, as well as a similar style to Xena: Warrior Princess.

Production
Goras pitched the idea of a She-Hulk TV series in the hopes of broadening Marvel's demographics outside of the comics. Goras had been a fan of She-Hulk and felt he could get away with making a campy movie centered on the character. The changes to the story weren't done at the behest of the network. Goras wanted to try something different with the character while keeping with the spirit of the comics.
