nice set photo. Wicked camera set up.

Nice find Freshman. This is why I respect you :up:

Don't know if this has already been posted, but this is an actual set pic from Thor. if only we could see what the camera is facing


reminds me of the four Avatar set pictures of James Cameron behind the camera before even knew what he was looking at..lol.. I hate when the studios don't reveal a bit more...I mean they've shot all their promotional shots before they started filming...the end of the month is too long of a wait

[Whiskey Tango]

Somebody zoom in on their eyes I think I can see Venom!

[Vartha]

Nice! to bad I can't get a reflection off the lense!

Well, we know Branagh's excited about it, whatever it is. :hehe:

Nice find. :up:

That's not excitement on his face, Corp.

It's strain.

If you gotta go, you gotta go. :hehe:

[TheCorpulent1]

nice set photo. Wicked camera set up.
For real. I don't know what any of that stuff is. :ninja:

[SpiderByte]

It appears there are two cameras. I see red stripes on one and blue on the other.

3D perhaps?

[TheCorpulent1]

Wouldn't surprise me. I imagine by the time Thor releases in 2011, pretty much every major blockbuster will have a 3D version available. We're already seeing it with stuff like Clash of the Titans now. Before this year, it was usually only animated films that had 3D versions.

[Ace of Knaves]

If they do go 3D i hope they actually do it properly. And not just do a rush job conversion with crap results like COTT.

Woooww Nice Job SB :up:

Thor in 3D :awesome::awesome::awesome::awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

Man, now I'm even more excited and it's still a whole year away. :csad:

[Ace of Knaves]

This wait will be painful.

[SpiderByte]

My ADHD-granted ability to notice random details actually lead to some logical conclusions on this forum!

YAY!

And has anyone else noticed that the day the set pics will be released is almost EXACTLY one year before the release? It comes out in the 4th of 2011 in May, and set pics are released on the 5th of May in 2010.

Not to mention that IM2 comes out two days after the set pic release.

[Ace of Knaves]

They are releasing set pics in May? What, actually of the cast?!?!?!!?!?!?

[SpiderByte]

I just checked the novelization. It's Southwest, not southeast.

[Webhead2006]

well i noticed the camera set up, since i been on a few film shoots, and seen a few different camera types and set ups. Plus i went to school for tv/film production. And camera work is the area i want to get into. So i like seeing how things are set up and what type of cameras they are using on films/tv shows.

[SpiderByte]

So is it 3D for sure, then?

[ImWithTeamConan]

Hopefully it's good 3D and not Clash of the Titans 3D. But the fact that they're already planning the movie to be 3D in the shooting stage (and not trying to add it post-production) make me believe it'll be good 3D.

[SpiderByte]

Or, heaven forbid, a 'Sharkboy and Lavagirl' 3D.

Seriously. I had my glasses off for the whole movie because it made absolutely no real difference.

[kedrell]

If they do go 3D i hope they actually do it properly. And not just do a rush job conversion with crap results like COTT.


The 3-D wasn't what made that movie bad. Take it from me, I saw it in 2-D(I refuse to watch ANY movie in 3-D, it's useless and yes this goes for Avatar as well) and even though that was the way it was originally intendedto be seen, it still sucked.

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't really notice 3D anymore, to be honest. I watched How to Train your Dragon in 3D but really didn't feel anymore "sucked into the film" or whatever than I do for the 2D movies I've watched. And that was actually just a good movie, 2D or 3D.

[Ace of Knaves]

Well it's come to light that pretty much all of the character development scenes and God scenes were cut from the film. Also Perseus' motivation was changed.

It appears Fox ain't the only ones who screw around with films.

But why do you think 3D is useless? If it's done well like in Avatar it can add loads to the film going experience.

[kedrell]

Exactly Corp, so why pay more?

Ace, I didn't get anything special from Avatarother than the best CGI realistic characters yet. 3-D had nothing to do with that. Of course overall I just didn't like that film anyway. That was the first time since Jaws 3-D in the 1980's made me swear off 3-D for good that I plunked down the extra $ for the 3-D experience and for my $ it wasn't worth the extra bit of dough. I feel the exact same way about IMAX, Blue-Ray/High-Def, ect. I don't notice any difference or at least I don't notice enough difference to make it worth paying more. Regular old low-def, non-Imax, 2-D is just fine by me still.

Well, personally, if it's in 3D, I'll usually watch it in 3D just because it's there. It's like $3 more, so it's not a big deal. I don't watch that many movies in theaters anyway.

[Vartha]

So is it 3D for sure, then?


I wouldn't jump the gun that it IS 3D for sure.
The 2nd camera could be a secondary camera with part already filmed for an overlay or even a second camera with a slightly different angle.

not to burst your bubble it looks more like an IMAX camera similar to one Nolan used on the Dark Knight....

[TheCorpulent1]

Aren't IMAX films usually 3D as well?

[kedrell]

I thought the IMAX cameras were a lot bigger.

[Vartha]

Aren't IMAX films usually 3D as well?
Not always. some are just plan HUGE screens. LotR wasn't filmed in 3D but it did appear on many Imax Screens.
Heck there was sometheaters that ran all THREE LotR EXTENDED films back to back!

[Christopher_M]

I thought the IMAX cameras were a lot bigger.

I believe they've made them smaller but still extremely heavy equipment ...look on the Thor set pic the dolly is super enforced those camers are very heavy...

it's just as valid to say they're doing it in the IMAX format, 3D or not... fully shot IMAX 3D Thor film would be awesome...

http://i42.tinypic.com/2rhvd3q.jpg

[Vartha]

True, being able to see Asgard on that kind of screen would kick butt!

[TheCorpulent1]

Good lord, I hope they scheduled intermissions or at least bathroom breaks.

[Vartha]

Good lord, I hope they scheduled intermissions or at least bathroom breaks.
lol YES they did. I don't recall extactly where they did that, but I would assume where you had to go from one disc to the next on the Etended cuts is where they had intermissions.

[kedrell]

If Ihad to choose between IMAX of 3-D for Thor, I'd pick IMAX.

[BigSams50]

^ Def. IMAX

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd pick 3D on the off-chance that Thor throws Mjolnir straight at the camera. How badass would that be? I'd totally try to duck in my seat. :D

[Aesop Rocks]

I'd try to grab it. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

And that is why you would die if you ever really met Thor.

Shut up, he's totally real. :argh:

[Son of Coul]

I saw Avatar in IMAX 3D with my family and just regular 3D with a friend and the regular 3D was definitely better. IMAX seems cool going there but it just seems to blow up the image to the point of mild blurriness, regardless of whether the movie was shot in IMAX or not. In regular 3D everything was crisper and the 3D itself looked better, but that might've been because my expectations were lowered after being disappointed by it initially after its hype of "revolutionizing 3D" when it turned out to be the same old ****.

I do enjoy the 3D now, but I don't know why some internet film nerds have to get all pissy about it like there isn't an option.

[Aesop Rocks]

And that is why you would die if you ever really met Thor.

Shut up, he's totally real. :argh:

Oh I know he is! He was Captain Kirk's dad in Star Trek and goes by the Earth name "Chris Hemsworth". :grin:

(my God, what a perfect casting).

[SpiderByte]

So it's either IMAX or 3D. Or IMAX 3D.

It's awesome that we're getting this news, (or speculating it), but it kinda sucks that this is the only sure thing we have so far. The costume description is hard to judge without an actual image. Remember New Goblin?

Although I still think it'll be awesome.

For some there isn't an option. I had to watch Alice and Clash in 3D because there was no 2D screens.and I don't like paying extra for a feature I find distracting.

I know how you feel..my local theater which has decent priced 2D tickets at $9.99...they recently upped the 3D showings so now if the film is in 3D they don't offer 2D showings...it's beyond annoying...I had to drive 45mins out of my way to find a theater playing the 2D Clash of The Titans...I just think unless the project needs to be in 3D theres no point to using the format...I still think it works best with kids/horror flicks...I'm not sure how things popping out of the screen helps a superhero film when you're trying to get serious/realistic world view of the material....it's really for fantasy films only....

[Crimson King]

3-D is rampant because it makes the studios more money, not because it makes films better. I hope Thor is offered in standard 2-D. 3-D is such a lame gimmick.

[SpiderByte]

IMAX could be considered a bit of a gimic. I mean, as far as I can tell, it's just a bigger screen.

[Crimson King]

IMAX could be considered a bit of a gimic. I mean, as far as I can tell, it's just a bigger screen.

I can stomach it better than 3-D. The forest fight scene in TF2 was way better in IMAX than on the small screen. There's something about seeing a life-size Optimus kick Starscream in the face. That being said, I don't think it would work for a film like Captain America or Iron Man.

Thor, on the other hand, could make good use of it. Ymir in IMAX? YES, PLEASE.

[SpiderByte]

One thing I really want, is that when Thor uses the hammer, the enscription on it glows.

[superkong 500]

I read the early script and I liked it a lot but i hope some things got changed like
Thor barely fighting anyone in the final battle, he just shows up and Mijorlnil
just flies around and destroys everyone's weapon and he then just throws it to a couple of gianst and that;s it. I hope he actually transforms into the thunder god and then fights the leader of the fairies, and a real fight not just thor killing him in one stroke. I also hope he fights the destroyer once he gets the hammer back.[/SPOILER]

Wait if the price was what you're concerned with, why would you waste the gas driving 45min away to watch the movie in 2D? Wouldn't the gas price just cancel it out, if not cost more?

[Webhead2006]

personally for me i have no issues with 3d films. Now yes it counts if it was shot in 3d verse done in post. Its nicer when its shot in 3d and thats the plan and all that. But if its done as an after thought that isnt the way to go. But hopefully the tech for both will get better and better over the next few yrs. Since 3d does seem to be the get go for now. As for ticket prices sure it sucks with higher prices. i mentioned this before i am glad i live in a modest size city so prices are fair amound. Afternoon showing of 2d films are like 5-7 dollars, and evening 2d prices are like 9 dollars, and then 3d feature films are like 12.75. so in all not that bad of price.

[Christopher_M]

Wait if the price was what you're concerned with, why would you waste the gas driving 45min away to watch the movie in 2D? Wouldn't the gas price just cancel it out, if not cost more?

the price is the isn't factor but it doesn't help..just pointed out how much regular tickets are in my area...I mean the other theater I went to cost $12 still in 2D....the price isn't too much my problem..it's that I as the consumer don't always have the opition in my local theater to choose 2D...I love my local theater and they're just being greedy they have 6-7 daily showings for each 3D feature...there are three 3D films playing right now you'd think they would have at lest one 2D showing of the features...

sometimes for people they just can't watch 3D...I get headaches like I did with avatar...why force this new format on people who can't enjoy it and make them to move on to another theater?

by the way have they even tested the long term of effects of this on our eyes? because this is more hardcore than the regular red and blue glasses...I'm just worried children who this is being marketed to are going to get eye problems in the long run...

[Vartha]

Well the same tech is being used in the newer tv's too for home use. I guess we'll see won't we?

[SpiderByte]

I just saw How To Train Your Dragon in 3D.

It's epic win.

Thor would be great in 3D.

Any ideas?

[FaT_tONle]

So is the movie being converted for everything they shot in 2-D? I don't think they are going to re-shoot everything in 3-D, and I don't want part 3-D part conversion. At least they will have ample time to film Avengers in 3-D for the entirety.

[Webhead2006]

well if it was to be 3d still cool, but yea totally fine if its 2d. Also yea interesting stuff with their camera/rigging stuff.

[Vartha]

gotta admit, a NICE 3D shot of Mjolnir coming at you would be cool.

[Vartha]

double post

[hugekent]

I don't get the appeal of 3D at all and I'd be more than happy with a regular shot of Asgard as well as Mjolnir. I think it's going to be very hard for it not to look amazing.

[Crimson King]

Some good quotes from the articles:

We suppose it's possible that Branagh's using a different set-up to shoot 3D, but we'd be very, very surprised; just because he's shooting two cameras side-by-side, it doesn't mean it's for a 3D effect, and the cameras are too far apart for that to be the case.

From the Hopkins interview...
Recently, you disputed a report about trouble on the Thor set. There were allegations made that you and the lead actor Chris Hemsworth weren’t getting along. Would you like to clear that up?

I would love to clear it up, and the studio’s clearing it up. The rumors are scurrilous and total rubbish; I’ve been having a great time on [Thor], and they’re just all wonderful actors. I do want to talk about this, because I’ve talked to my lawyer about it and I think the studio is doing some investigation into it, but that’s what newspapers do. It’s the business of journalism to lie — sometimes, not always. They distort and make mischief. I’ve been around the block many times, so I get used to it.

From the Sante Fe New Mexican...
Speaking of Thor (AAA, anyone?), the big-budget nature of the film is obvious by the number of yellow signs directing crews all over town. From a town built near Galisteo, to a site behind the Franklin Miles Park, shooting has been fast and furious for the Kenneth Branagh-directed blockbuster. One site that might be familiar to locals is a bar interior shot recently at the favorite Santa Fe nightspot, Cheeks — a scene that took 13.5 hours to capture to Branagh's satisfaction. According to an insider, "despite the fact that they had to do a million takes, everyone seemed pretty non-irritable. Very focused, perfectionistic, stressed but not flipping out."

From the Elba interview...
IESB: Will the costumes have a traditional look?

Idris: I can’t say too much about it. It’s traditional, in the sense of what the comic book has. They're being very cognizant about that and trying to make that authentic. At the same time, it’s a movie, so you can embellish it a little bit more.

[Crimson King]

Man, the Thor forum has gotten super-quiet. Marvel should remedy this with some costume reveals.

[Whiskey Tango]

I think it's in part because the lag has gotten really bad. I've barely been able to get past my control panel for three days. There's a thread in the tech forum where a bunch of people have been having great difficulty accessing the forums lately.

Tonight or tomorrow I might be able get back in long enough to see if this post went through.

Thanks for the interview snippets though. :)

[Crimson King]

Yeah, the response time is pretty bad. I think the responses are actually being snail-mailed.

[Vartha]

Well most of know May 5th is the date we're SUPPOSED to see pics. Could be why it's so slow in here.

I hope that's the date, but I have my doubts. The source is kinda sketchy.

[echostation]

I was hearing August at earliest is when we'd be seeing stuff?

[Aesop Rocks]

Nope, April and May. :yay:

I guess pics are delayed due to Iron Man madness. Hopefully we will get something when Iron Man is already out. Hey at least SpiderByte gave us like 3 days of hype with his 3D theory :hehe:

[Webhead2006]

we will probably have pictures within the next month.

[Aesop Rocks]

I thought it was "between now and May 5th"?

Don't worry, you're right !

Before the may 5th, we will have some concept art of the movie.

So good :yay:

[Vartha]

Pffft, even if the costumes are a perfect translation from comics to film they will get ripped to pieces for being "too lazy" by some people :whatever:
the porblem with matching any one of the costumes brings up other problems. Like many of us preffer the Modern Thor costume over either the Ultimate Thor or Classic Thor and on and on.
Heck I think the ONLY costume that can't get messed up too much is Hulks. :D lol then there's size on him. Ang's Hulk and TV Hulk. lol

[MikeFrost]

Don't know if we'll see Thor himself or just a mention of him tho.

[SpiderByte]

I can't think of a way Fury would know of his existence BEFORE he lands on Earth, wouldn't he? It would just be considered a myth.

Cap is most likely, IMO. I can't wait to see it!

Only...20 more days to go, methinks. How long for Russia?

[Aesop Rocks]

Fury probably learns of his existence when he sees a dude flying around his ****, pissin' him off.

FURY: COULSON!
Coulson: Yes sir?
FURY: Why the HELL is there a viking flying around outside?
Coulson: I..I'll go see sir.

[Vartha]

heh I'd go for that.

You love it!

[Aesop Rocks]

I can grow used to it. :o

[lixdexia]

man...i miss how bad that was.

[LightningFlash]

That's some great CG...

[TheCorpulent1]

Hopefully if they do include the Helicarrier in the Avengers' movie, it'll actually look more like the Helicarrier and less like a battleship mounted on a pod with four turbines. Of course, they could always leave it out and have SHIELD be based out of the Triskelion like in The Ultimates. Which would suck.

[S.A.A.D.]

I don't think the Helicarrier should be in the Avenger's movie,it could possibly muck up the action inserted into the movie,budget.

[Compi716]

I don't think the Helicarrier should be in the Avenger's movie,it could possibly muck up the action inserted into the movie,budget.OR it could lead to MORE action, 'cause the villainous armies will blow it out of the sky, like in Ultimates 2 (which would be visually incredible).

I don't think the Helicarrier should be in the Avenger's movie,it could possibly muck up the action inserted into the movie,budget. it wouldn't take up any more of the budget than any other base would. and even if they cg it it's a pretty stationary model.

On second thought,I don't think it would be a problem in terms of toning down the action. Like you said,a model could be used.

[Webhead2006]

heard about the thor/cap after credits scene for ironman 2. yea i doubt we will actually see cap or thor himself in it. it will probably be just a mention of them i would guess.

[LightningFlash]

Edit: Double post.

[LightningFlash]

I wouldn't be surprised with Fury acknowledging a "war on Asgard", only to add fuel to what will undoubtedly make Loki a future villain for the Avengers(as I see Fury helping out Thor, and then the other way around when Loki returns for the Avengers film)

And I want freaking Hawkeye in the Thor film as well. I was hoping he'd be in Iron Man 2, but I was wrong :(

And for Captain America, S.H.I.E.L.D. could still be in its stages of defrosting good ol' Steve and we could see Chris Evans inside a block of ice with his torn up suit.

Perhaps Fury hands Cap's shield over to Stark and asks him to make a "better one" with the new metal he created.

[ImWithTeamConan]

If Iron Man 2 has a Thor cameo at the end, perhaps Thor will have a Captain America cameo at the end (or an Ant-Man).

[kedrell]

I think I'd prefer them to think Cap's dead while they are thawing him out, like in the cartoon.

[SpiderByte]

Indeed. I saw a clip of the Ultimate Avengers movie, when Cap wakes up, he instantly starts beating the crap out of the scientists and soldiers. They thought he was dead, but he got straight up after a 60 + year nap and beat the everloving ***** out of everyone.

[Aesop Rocks]

I'd much, MUCH rather have it be the 616 approach where he's waking up screaming in terror for Bucky to get go.

[Webhead2006]

i could see maybe thor being seen, but if i recall ironman two was wrapped and in the can prior to chris getting signed as steve. So i doubt he would be seen, its more likely just going to be a mention of him/shield discoving his body or something.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd much, MUCH rather have it be the 616 approach where he's waking up screaming in terror for Bucky to get go.
:up:

[Raiden]

OR it could lead to MORE action, 'cause the villainous armies will blow it out of the sky, like in Ultimates 2 (which would be visually incredible).

I think having Helicarrier get blown out of the sky would be something extremely amazing visual-wise, and makes the movie much bigger on an epic proportion. Also, if the villains can destroy the Helicarrier, it may actually merit the collective firepower of Iron Man, Thor, and Capt. America.

[Ace of Knaves]

When will we see the Helicarrier?

[Aesop Rocks]

The Avengers, probably.

[Ace of Knaves]

That's too damn long! :argh:

[TheCorpulent1]

It's kind of a big special effects package to insert into another movie.

[Son of Coul]

Yeah, like Avengers 2. That'd be perfect to demonstrate the enemy's power and make the team hit their lowest.

[Ace of Knaves]

It's kind of a big special effects package to insert into another movie.

I think it'd be cool to see it right at the very end of IM2.

Stark finally decides to join SHIELD and he's like.

"Where is your base of operations then?"

Fury gives him a knowing glance, looks up to the sky, the clouds part and there she is in all her glory.

[Aesop Rocks]

Oh my sweet Jesus. *faints*

[TheCorpulent1]

Stark: Oh, that is so cool! :hehe:

[Aesop Rocks]

I'd love to see it hovering over Manhattan. Stark and Fury are on the roof of a high rise looking at it.
STARK: What are those black dots moving around it?
FURY: Those? F-22 Raptors.
STARK: I don't have good experience with those...

[ImWithTeamConan]

I wouldn't mind waiting for the Helicarrier till Avengers 2.

[Son of Coul]

To be clear, I think Helicarrier should be in Avengers 1, then its destruction can come in the sequel.

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't personally think the Helicarrier is necessary for the Avengers at all. But since we're probably never gonna get a proper SHIELD movie and the movies seem to be going the Ultimates route and making the Avengers a field-team for SHIELD, I'd much rather see the Helicarrier over the Triskelion. Maybe even more than Avengers Mansion since, as fond as my memories for it in the comics are, it's still just a big house, as opposed to a flying battleship.

[Son of Coul]

'zackly. Don't really care about Avengers Mansion. Kind of pointless to have a big mansion for less than ten team members sitting and talking. The helicarrier would be an awesome spectacle and it's this big busy battleship and **** with all these folks working and planning and charting destinations and tracking things. It'd be very cool to have.

[SpiderByte]

That...is....

hold on, I'm looking for the words to describe it.

*looks in dictionary*.

"****ing Awesome." That seems to fit.

****ING AWESOME!

[Vartha]

heh I can see Hulk trashing the Helicarrier. The visual in my head is vivid. :D

[Aesop Rocks]

Actually, if anything. I see the Banner jumping off the Helicarrier.

STARK: What the hell are you doing?! You'll die!
BANNER: Nah, this just makes everything funner -smirks and jumps off, turning into the Hulk as he falls-

[kedrell]

I'd like BOTh the Helicarrier and the Triskelion the way they did it in that UA cartoon. The carrier can get large amounts of Shield troops/agents anywhere in the world w/n a few hours but their home base is just north of Manhattan at the Triskelion. Avenger's mansion(Tony's New York home) can appear in the 2nd Avengers film when they go solo apart from Shield.

[kedrell]

I think it'd be cool to see it right at the very end of IM2.

Stark finally decides to join SHIELD and he's like.

"Where is your base of operations then?"

What would sell that scene is Tony's reaction. IMO, he shouldn't say something cliche'd like "Aww, that's cool!" or anything like that but simply start chuckling to himself in a low tone while giving Fury a "No, you guys didn't!" look.

[Son of Coul]

Yeah I think it'd be real good to have the Avengers peel off from SHIELD by the end, if not at some point in the middle, to establish them as an independent team rather than a bunch of government agents. Maybe have a moment like the end of the first comic where they're like "hey we really aren't so bad together!" "we should do this more often", etc. (obviously not the exact dialogue, just the feeling of the scene and characters).

[Ace of Knaves]

I'd prefer Stark Tower for Tony's New York base personally. Wouldn't mind the mansion though.

But a massive sky scraper would just be sweeeet.

[Ace of Knaves]

Or "Heh, and you said I was narcissistic?"

But yea just a look like the one you said would work great too i think. Tony would be thinking "you mutha****a" lol

[SpiderByte]

I'd like to see Thor do something like turn Jarvis on on his own, or have the lights turn on whenever he walks into a room.

[Aesop Rocks]

Wait. What?

[Ace of Knaves]

You mean like power surges or pranks?

The former i could deal with. The latter? GTFO! lol

[SpiderByte]

Power surges, I was thinking. As in he eminates so much energy it's transferred into the environment around him.

Even better, he could remotely activate Tony's armor on his own, if Tony needed to suit up but didn't have the Mark VI briefcase with him (No, it's not a typo. The Mark VI also turns into a briefcase) .

Or, even better, Jarvis could do that.

[kedrell]

I like the idea of Thor aiding Iron Man by giving him a boost of some sort if his power has been too depleted. Kinda like jumping a car with cables.

[Aesop Rocks]

I'd love to see Thor and Iron Man's egos clash and Thor just busts him with the hammer.

[lixdexia]

or even better than that...jarvis could have been a human:csad:

[kedrell]

I'd really like it if AI Jarvis in the LA mansion of actually based on Tony's real butler Edwin Jarvis who during IM1 & 2 was off at the NY mansion. Played by Paul Bettany of course.

[TheCorpulent1]

or even better than that...jarvis could have been a human:csad:
He could've easily just named the program after his dear old butler. :oldrazz:

[Ace of Knaves]

I thought it stood for something? Just A Rather Very Intelligent System.

[SpiderByte]

Exactly.

[kedrell]

^That was only mentioned in the novelization. They never said it in the film.

Stark: Oh, that is so cool! ..... I want it. How much?
Fury: *Deadpan stare*
Stark: Hey, can I drive it?
Fury: *deadpan stare*
Stark: Well I'm not joining unless I can


Amended.

[SpiderByte]

Since it's in the novelization, it's pretty safe to say it's in the film, because if it wasn't in the film, why would they put it in the novelization?

[kedrell]

I was refering to the 1st film's novelization. I won't read IM2's until after I see the movie. And lots of stuff from the 1st novel was changed when we got the film. It happens with all the improv and spontinaity(sp?) that Favs & RDJ are known for.

[Ace of Knaves]

Novelisations sometimes just make stuff up anyway.

I mean, in TDKs Novel right at the start where Joker is on the street he walks up to a little old lady and gives her a 100.

[LightningFlash]

^^ Ahh, that Joker fellow.

Such a nice, stand-up guy.

[NEXUS 6]

Cool cool. Or using his hammer like a defibrillator to repower the armor would be awesome. :awesome:

[SpiderByte]

Didn't he use that in Ultimate Avengers?

[Aesop Rocks]

Yep.

[kirbyfan]

Guys this may have been discussed already, but I have a question.

In the Hulk movie during the scene where the Hulk takes Betty to the cave, there's a thunderstorm going on and right after the Hulk throws a boulder at the sky, you see something fall from the sky, is that supposed to be Thor being cast down from Asgard?

I put my DVD player on slo-mo and you can very clearly see that something comes down from the sky, anyone know what it is?

[Aesop Rocks]

Nope, if you watch it closely, it's the same rock Hulk throws.

[TheCorpulent1]

As they say, what goes up must fuel fan speculation for years to come. ;)

[Aesop Rocks]

Hahaha, I can just imagine the :awesome: face you're going to have when you see those set pictures, Corp.

[TheCorpulent1]

It'll either be a very happy or very sad day for me, depending on what the pics look like. I'm leaning way more toward happy at this point, though.

[Vartha]

Cool cool. Or using his hammer like a defibrillator to repower the armor would be awesome. :awesome:
Well Thor used lightning to restart Hugun's heart after being shot by the Wreaking Crew in volume 2.

I'd have to look again But didn't Hulk throw a rock at that moment?

[Brian Braddock]

A rock is just another term for a boulder, surely Varth.

[Vartha]

I'd have to look again But didn't Hulk throw a rock at that moment?
All I see is raindrops being lit up by the lightning. I really don't think Thor was falling from the Sky. Heck I didn't see the boulder fall that he threw.
It would be a nice tie in though.

[Vartha]

A rock is just another term for a boulder, surely Varth.
heh yeah I know, at least it's not sucking the ocean floor hahaha

[Aesop Rocks]

I did. I watched at all sorts of ways to Sunday. It's the rock he threw.

[Vartha]

I just watched it on my Laptop double checking.
The storm itself could be a nice tie in though even if we don't see Thor falling.

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah it's not not without a continuity error.

Thor falls in New Mexico, in the desert.

cant wait to get photos and all that when ever they do pop up.

[Aesop Rocks]

Well, between now and May 5th. :awesome:

[SpiderByte]

Which is....

Holy crap, it's twelve days away.

[Vartha]

lol I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL LAST THAT LONG! LOL

[bunk]

This was the first shot released for Iron Man, right? What would the Thor equivalent be?

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4229/ironmanz.jpg

[Aesop Rocks]

Thor with the hammer. :awesome:

[Darkness Falls]

personally i'm hoping for an epic shot of thor with the hammer :D

[Webhead2006]

yea me too

[ImWithTeamConan]

An equivalent would be Hemsworth shirtless looking a little roughed up and holding the hammer. We don't get the costume just like we didn't get the armor in that pic.

[DocHoliday]

I was hoping that one of these magazines would have a Marvel movie issue tie in with Iron Man 2. No luck heh? Looks like it's comic con then.

[TheCorpulent1]

I have a feeling our first pic might be Thor after just being cast down to Earth. Just a pic of Hemsworth, probably naked or close to it, struggling to get up in the middle of a smoldering field or something like that. It's an authentic scene from the movie without giving away any big details like the costume or the hammer.

[Aesop Rocks]

You just want Thor nekked. :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

Possibly.

[TheCorpulent1]

Possibly. :o

[Aesop Rocks]

Oh you

[marvelboy10]

I'm Ok with the corpulent !!!!!

I think we will see a picture of thor dressed like a mortal (or like sigurd jarlson :D) on earth.

[Webhead2006]

i rather first shot be of thor in costume or at least holding the hammer.

[TheCorpulent1]

We all would, but I think Marvel's marketers will try to stretch out the big reveals. A scene from the movie showing nothing important first, then maybe a shot of the hammer, then a teaser, then a shot of Thor in full costume, etc. Remember, we may have been following the film for months already, but there's still a whole year before the film is released, over which Marvel has to slowly build anticipation for the normal folks.

[Aesop Rocks]

The biggest reveal is obviously fully suited Thor. I don't think we'll see that, or the hammer until the movie or damn near close it it's release.

I really hope we get spoiled though. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

I think we'll see the hammer in the first teaser. Or I'm hoping.

[TikkiEXX]

whens the San Diego Comic Con? id expect to see something there.

[TheCorpulent1]

July. I imagine we'll see something for Thor then as well. Iron Man 2 will have already been in theaters for 2 months, Kick-Ass for 3, and Thor is the next big Marvel movie.

[Aesop Rocks]

Hopefully!

[Sawyer]

I really can't imagine us not getting something from the movie at SDCC.

[Aesop Rocks]

Well a teaser trailer is almost a given.

[The Squirrel]

I hope that we could at least get like a Teaser Teaser trailer for Iron Man 2. Something like the early HULK teaser.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm expecting a reference to Thor, at least, in Iron Man 2. Probably not anything visual, unfortunately, since I think IM 2 has been done for a while now.

[Aesop Rocks]

[Vartha]

Now you can't get more spoiler safe than that Aesop lol

[Webhead2006]

yea i cant wait to see what photos, teasers, and marketing stuff for thor, and same for cap too.

[Avengers-Report]

Aesop, how do you know this??

[Spider-Vader]

Well, if the rumor's right. In the after-credit scene Cap & him will be referenced, if not make an appearance. :wow:

[Avengers-Report]

Making an appearance would be nice =)

BTW, I just got tickets to Comic-Con, and it will be my first ever. I heard they might be making a Thor reference?!?!

[Whiskey Tango]

Aesop, how do you know this??

Listen to me. You won't want to believe what I have to say, but I assure you, it's true.

Aesop is actually Tom Cruise.

He knows virtually everything that happens in Hollywood, and by extension...the world. He's an expert in hand-to-hand combat, firearms, and spycraft. He leads a regime of so called "artists" who control 97% of the worlds financial resources. He holds billions of lives in the palm of his hand, and he laughs about this very fact every morning over breakfast, which consists of two slices of blackened toast, one over-easy egg and a small glass of oj. And he's short. Really, really short.

Right now, he's on the phone, ordering a black-ops death squad to find me and silence me. And they will succeed, because he only hires the best. I can hear them outside my door as I write this. I recognize the sound of their gun-rattle. Also, they're really fast, because he was just on the phone with them and yet here they are at my door right now!

I'm giving this info to you, AirUpThere, because you are the worlds last, best hope against the evil that is Tom "Aesop" Cruise. Good luck. You'll need it. I only wish I could have lived long enough to meet you so that I could tell you about your half-sister. Her name is...

[marcvader]

Dont some of you guys remember that Iron Man 2 reshoots were happening the same week Thor started shooting? I doubt it just occured to Marvel that it would be cool to have Thor be in after credits the last couple of weeks. That would be poor planning.

[Chewy]

We received this via email with the following message in regards to the upcoming ‘Thor’ movie -
“This Joe Quesada drawing of Thor is based on a Hasbro toy-line that will be released in conjunction with the movie”
http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i36/luwho12345/ThorMOVIE.jpg?t=1271574100 (http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i36/luwho12345/ThorMOVIE.jpg?t=1271574100)
If this art is based on a Hasbro toy line that will be released at the same time as the ‘Thor’ movie, could this also be how they intend ‘Thor’ to look like?
In our opinion this looks great! What do you think?
SOURCE (http://www.fanboyweb.com/?p=271)

[lixdexia]

i think that'll just be one of the "comic series" figures, as with the last handful of movies they've done a "movie series" and a "comic series" in each set. it's too dead on ages of thunder to be the movies suit, plus non of the confirmed chainmail

[Aesop Rocks]

SOURCE (http://www.fanboyweb.com/?p=271)

I wish they had a better artist.

[TheCorpulent1]

Pretty good costume if that is indeed it. I would've probably made the gloves brown to match the boots and add a little more color, but I'd be happy with it.

[Chewy]

Agreed, plus it lacks Hemsworth's beard. But I figured it was at least worth posting

[Compi716]

Yeah, that Quesada drawing is pretty much a dead-ringer for the Ages of Thunder Thor. There are some minor differences, but it's nearly exact. Probably not the movie costume.

(Though I wouldn't complain if it was).

[Vartha]

That looks pretty cool, tho I don't know about the Buccaneer looking boots.

[Manowar]

I want Thor to have his T Belt.

[Chris Wallace]

I could live with the design but it is badly rendered. Worst foreshortening ever.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Quesada's art. But the costume itself isn't bad at all.

[RetroNaz]

It'll be interesting to see whether or not he rocks a cape in the flick...

[Chewy]

He definitely rocks a cape.

[TheCorpulent1]

Pretty sure a "big red cape" has been confirmed from one of the actors' own mouths.

[RetroNaz]

Oh sweet!

[superkong 500]

I hope that's not the design of the suit. It looks awful. It could be that he uses that costume in Asgard before the hammer is made, and then by the final act on earth when he transforms again he has the more armored copiel inspired look. If not then I'am losing interest in this movie.

But I hightly doubt that's the suit he wears in the film.

[Spider-Vader]

If that's the real costume, then I'll be fine. I think it's based of the Age of Thunder costume or whatever it's called. Besides, modern Thor that'd be my choice for the movie's costume.

[marvel_freshman]

I'd be very happy with that costume, cause it actually looks okay next to Iron Man. I was always worred the chainmail and stuff would make Thor look like an old English Norseman. But that design mimics the Ultimate suit and still looks like an original Thor.

[Webhead2006]

i said this before with the after credits scene i doubt we will actually see thor and/or cap in ironman 2. Sure thor is likely since ironman 2 was doing reshoots in jan/feb at marvel studios space when thor was just starting up and all that. So chris hemsworth could have easily filmed a scene or something. But i think it will just be mentions by fury/shield about thor and that maybe cap's body has been found to tie into captain america next yr and all that. As for evans we got him offcially signed after i believe ironman 2 was completed and in the can so i doubt evans was able to do anything for ironman 2.

[ImWithTeamConan]

Not a fan of Quesada's art, but I like that costume, I think it'll look quite similar if that's the picture for the box.

[Crimson King]

Didn't Hemsworth say that the costume had chainmail? I'm voting for the comic series theory.

[kedrell]

I'm fine with that costume. I'd just replace the gloves with forearm greaves. I mean, why does a guy who's nearly invulnerable need gloves? Is he worried about Mjolnir giving him blisters?

[kirbyfan]

Guys, I was watching the Hulk vs Thor animated movie this weekend, and it occured to me, how could Marvel get their own character wrong?

Here's my thing, no matter what the gamma rays did to Bruce Banner, he's still only a man.

I understand the madder he gets the stronger he gets, but a man can only get so mad? Underneath the gamma rays affects is still just a man.

Now how on earth or off earth, can a man beat a God?

No way could the Hulk beat Thor, if he's the God of Thunder, he could bring down all the lightning in the entire universe and blow the Hulk out of existence! Ok, maybe Thor wouldn't go that far, but my point is he could and there's no way the Hulk could beat him as easily as he did in the animated movie.

Notice in the Planet Hulk movie that the girl on that planet gave Hulk a better fight than The Mighty Thor did when he faught the Hulk?

What's up with that Marvel?

[kedrell]

Hulk in Planet Hulk has been severly de-powered due to going through the wormhole(same thing happened to the Silver Surfer when he went through in the comics, or Beta Ray Bill in the cartoon).

[Vartha]

MY understanding Kirbyfan is we're still coming out of a HULK movie blitz so to speak.
We will being seeing alot more reversed in THOR's favor in the next couple years.

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea that's the thing with comics. A lot of the time the results of fights are determined on popularity.

I think it's safe to say Thor has had a boost in popularity, and it will continue to grow. Therefore, hopefully soon, he gets to show just how he would deal with Hulk.
