The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[Carlo Comicus]

Aren't we supposed to get other pics today?

maybe thursday, I hope.

[Raiden]

It sure is

Guess I've been so out of the loop on X-Men that I didn't even know Illyana has came back.

[roach]

Guess I've been so out of the loop on X-Men that I didn't even know Illyana has came back.

yeah but they just killed off Nightcrawler

[obin_gam]

whats this "other pic" i see everyone talking about? have "the power that be" said anything that were getting another one after the one we already have?

[roach]

there is a pic if the Destroyer armor around the net

[DarkSovereignty]

could somebody perhaps pm me that pic of destroyer please? much obliged.

[roach]

go to **************.com

[SpiderByte]

But don't post it here, or you'll be bannified.

[Spider-Vader]

I can't wait until Friday. I get to see what the hammer looks like!

[Vartha]

same here Vader

[Webhead2006]

yea i cant wait to see it in full clearity myself once i go see ironman 2.

[Vartha]

wow a YEAR away offically.......

[XxDelta09xX]

I can't wait until Friday. I get to see what the hammer looks like!

Agreed.:woot:

[Gamma Burst]

wow a YEAR away offically.......

A looong year!:csad:

[Webhead2006]

totally and two yrs to avengers :(:(

[Shivsguy616]

A looong year!:csad:

Actually its a common year...

[Vartha]

totally and two yrs to avengers :(:(
Between Thor and Cap I'm sure the wait won't feel as long.

[SpiderByte]

Not to mention the other dozen or so superhero films in those two years.

[ImWithTeamConan]

Only 16 hours till Mjolnir on the big screen.

[Brian Braddock]

Between Thor and Cap I'm sure the wait won't feel as long.

Yeah, when I was younger, the wait for these films seemed to take an age, but now it feels as if they come along, well, i wouldnt say fast per se but certainly production seems quicker than it used to.

Anywhoo, on a different subject, anyone else's 'Subscribed threads' folder been wiped, or is it just me?

Mine has been wiped clean too. hmmmm

[Brian Braddock]

>phew< I thought it was just me.

Pain in the ass trying to remember all the threads I've recently posted on.

[Webhead2006]

ya its going to be a fun wait for the films next yr and then of course for avengers in two yrs.

[Vartha]

Well for we Thor fans we'll also have Tales of Asgard to look foreword to as well. Even MORE to pass the time for the Avengers wait.

[outsider101487]

Wasn't there supposed to be some concept art and/or new stills on the 5th (yesterday)? I mean, we did get the surprise still the other day -- epic -- but I swear somebody Tweeted something about May 5th being a time when lots of pics would be released...

[TheCorpulent1]

>phew< I thought it was just me.

Just think of how much fun it is to try and resubscribe to all the threads you're responsible for moderating. ;)

I hate myself for ever falling victim to the sultry allure of the User CP subscription list. :csad:

I hate myself for ever falling victim to the sultry allure of the User CP subscription list. :csad:I used mine all the time. Now I can only think of half the threads I had. :( Guess with all the hero movies coming up, I'll just have to subscribe to some new ones. :p

[Webhead2006]

that was just a rumor that wasnt confirmed. now it would have been nice if we did get something. but i am sure more official stuff will be poping up between now and comic con in july and beyond.

[Compi716]

Just more proof that the "insiders" te folks at **************.com are BS. They should never be trusted with stuff like this. They also claimed that the same "insider" said that that guy in the prison in IM2 was Thor.

[Webhead2006]

well yea cbm hasnt had the best track record. But certain members of their board like marvel freshmen and poni who also post here has been able to score some real good stuff too like poni's stuff with green lantern set photos.

[Brian Braddock]

Ouch. I can imagine that to be a bit of a bi*ch, Corp.

It is kinda sad. I kinda feel lost without a record of my thread subscription [god, just admitting that is sad]. :doh:

Even now, I find myself going there without so much as a second thought; it's like 2nd nature.

:hehe:

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm trying to go back to forum browsing so I don't get screwed if the subscriptions are deleted again. But I just caught myself clicking "User CP" instead of the link to the forum page. It's like a drug, man!

[SpiderByte]

It was an update that caused it, right? The one for the rating of comments on the main page? That screws up the comments anyway?

[Aesop Rocks]

this is me posting in this thread to re-subscribe.

[SpiderByte]

I just realized:

How is it that we can post set pictures in the Green Lantern thread, but not in the Thor thread? The only reason Destroyer pics were really banned was probably because of the anti-bootleg attitude towards Thor information brought about by the rapid succession of the bootleg after-credit scene and the set pic.

Set pics can be posted for other films, but not Thor?

[TheCorpulent1]

It's only set pics of a particularly spoilery nature. Are the GL set pics just mundane stuff? I mean, if someone posted a leaked picture of Hector Hammond in full makeup and everything, that should be reported and taken down. Regardless, I don't personally know what goes on in the GL forums. I don't really go there because I'm not particularly excited for the movie.

[SpiderByte]

Spoilery, like in, say, Abin Sur's ship? Because we have that.

[TheCorpulent1]

Probably. But again, I'm not the mod for the GL section.

[Changeling]

Abin Sur's ship isnt really spoilery. No one knew that the Destroyer would be in Thor, we all knew his ship would be in GL.

[Webhead2006]

yea i think its a bit different for gl, we havent really got any spoiler scenes just some props and location shots.

[squeekness]

this is me posting in this thread to re-subscribe.
There is a subscribe feature under "thread tools", lol. :p

[Webhead2006]

i dont even bother with subscribing to threads.

[Brian Braddock]

Dont you automatically get subscribed to a thread once you make a post in it though?

[CanaryFan]

yes you do but not everybody uses their subscription list.

[Brian Braddock]

I have to;

I have a crap memory. :csad:

[squeekness]

Dont you automatically get subscribed to a thread once you make a post in it though?Yup, but you can do it without posting and so avoid the look of a spammer. :p

I have to;

I have a crap memory. :csad:Me, too. :( I use it all the time. Esepcially with the lag, it can be more direct than going through all the forums.

[The Infernal]

I'm guessing it's a slow 'Thor news' day. :oldrazz:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Well for we Thor fans we'll also have Tales of Asgard to look foreword to as well. Even MORE to pass the time for the Avengers wait. :up:

[Rocker22]

Isn't there suppose to be new pictures today or something?

[Vartha]

I'm guessing it's a slow 'Thor news' day. :oldrazz:
heh IM2 opened and IT ROCKED!!!

[Vartha]

Isn't there suppose to be new pictures today or something?
Was SUPPOSED to be the 5th, but we're assuming who ever said it MEANT the week of the 5th.

[Webhead2006]

actually we didnt get that news from official sources and it was a rumor, though i know we all wanted to see more.

[ImWithTeamConan]

I assumed that first Thor pic was what they were talking about when they said there were releasing something this week.

[Vartha]

That's what I think too.
IF we do get more I bet it will be after this weekend. At least they can do is show a an offical shot of Mjolnir. It looked pretty danged cool.

[The Infernal]

heh IM2 opened and IT ROCKED!!!

Yeah, I know. Saw it last week. It is great. Even saw Mjolner.

Slight spoiler.

Thought it was funny when Coulson stated he would happily taze Tony's ass and watch 'Supernanny'. Lol

[Vartha]

heh yup. ALOT of fun stuff it IM2.
LOVED what Tony did with,

Caps shield, hahaha, using it to balence out the pipes for his machine.

[louiebling$]

heh yup. ALOT of fun stuff it IM2.
LOVED what Tony did with,

Caps shield, hahaha, using it to balence out the pipes for his machine.

I'm going tonight I can't wait to see that scene :awesomeh

[Webhead2006]

yea when ever we do get more images i cant wait to see what it is.

[squeekness]

heh yup. ALOT of fun stuff it IM2.
LOVED what Tony did with,

Caps shield, hahaha, using it to balence out the pipes for his machine.
That was hysterical. Our whole audience was laughing at it. :p

[SpiderByte]

My excitement for Thor has tripled in the past week. This is gonna be great!

[The Infernal]

Yeah, I lol'd at that myself. I wouldn't mind seeing an agent Coulson cameo in Thor. That would be nice.

[SpiderByte]

The actor said he's doing Thor in an interview.

[The Infernal]

Sweet. Thanks.

[ImWithTeamConan]

So...I guess in Thor we'll see Coulson chilling at Tony's pad then getting the call away (which is why he missed out on Tony leaving the house and when he came back he was like..."I was busy". Probably getting briefed about Thor at that point.

[Carlo Comicus]

I have found this two minutes ago, from a svedish site:

http://www.expressen.se/noje/film/1.1980017/stellan-skarsgard-avslojar-det-kan-bli-en-mamma-mia-2

Stellan Skarsgård är nyss hemkommen från öknen i Santa Fe och inspelningen av Marvel-klassikern ”Thor”, där han spelar mot Natalie Portman.
- Det var svinkallt, men kul. Natalie är så otroligt bra. Och smart. Synd att hon är vegan bara, det är så osexigt,

translation:

Stellan Skarsgard have just returned from the desert in Santa Fe and the recording of the Marvel classic "Thor", where he played against Natalie Portman.
- It was freezing cold, but fun. Natalie is so incredibly good. And smart. Too bad she's only vegan,

[Vartha]

Cool! Thanks Carlo!

[Anubis Raptor]

I wonder what that desert scene is all about?

[TheCorpulent1]

Skarsgard plays a professor, right? Maybe he's interested in the hammer, so he heads out to take a look at it.

[Anubis Raptor]

Hmmm. That idea sounds cool. Maybe he tries to conduct a series of experiments on Thor and the hammer:woot:

[ddddeeee]

He and Jane go to the desert to examine cosmic rays in the desert and run Thor over. I'm guessing he has no memories and they 'adopt' him.

[Anubis Raptor]

This sounds pretty damn cool if you ask me:yay:

Wait a minute, how true is this?

[louiebling$]

Yes name your source

[ddddeeee]

This sounds pretty damn cool if you ask me:yay:

Wait a minute, how true is this?

It came with a bunch of spoilers a few months ago. Most of which have been proven accurate. It was the first to claim Skarsgard was a professor for example.

[Spider-Vader]

That was hysterical. Our whole audience was laughing at it. :p

I was the only one laughed at in my theater. Though, I was like "Coulson, why are you letting him disrespect Cap like that!?" :hehe:

[SpiderByte]

Note how he said "Do you know what this is?"

Not to mention the star almost broke off.

Also, Coulson probably knew that Stark was creating the Vibranium to save his life, since Fury gave it to him. So why not help out?

[TheCorpulent1]

That had better have just been some replica. Cap's shield ain't no weak piece of trash like that thing. :argh:

[ddddeeee]

yup i loved it, it's that kinda humor that will make the avengers one kick ass movie!

[TheCorpulent1]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwX1PPRCyZY
Cool. Reading comics is definitely a good idea for getting into a character whose movie you're directing. Glad Branagh did his homework.

[Webhead2006]

yup its good when we got directors/producers/writers who understand who and what these characters are. So they can display them in the proper manner.

[Anubis Raptor]

Nice post ddddeeee.

[Figs]

Ugh. Just noticed on the front page that Marvel wants to make Thor, Captain American and Avengers in 3D.

Sucks for Thor because at this stage in the game they said they're going to have to convert it rather than film it in 3D. Hopefully it's not as bad as Clash of the Titans.

[SpiderByte]

They never said Thor would be in 3D. It's too late, remember?

[marcvader]

I thought it said they may do it in post.

[SpiderByte]

It's only set pics of a particularly spoilery nature. Are the GL set pics just mundane stuff? I mean, if someone posted a leaked picture of Hector Hammond in full makeup and everything, that should be reported and taken down. Regardless, I don't personally know what goes on in the GL forums. I don't really go there because I'm not particularly excited for the movie.

Funnily enough, it did. Today.

Say that more Thor pics will come out. Please.

SAY IT!

[Figs]

They never said Thor would be in 3D. It's too late, remember?

They just updated with the news today and said it would be done in post just like marcvader also said.

[SpiderByte]

So I guess my 3D theory was accurate in a completely different way.

[TheCorpulent1]

Funnily enough, it did. Today.

Say that more Thor pics will come out. Please.

SAY IT!
The pics are on the front page of the Hype, meaning the site's overlords have approved it. The Hemsworth pic is the only Thor pic that's gotten similar approval so far. :oldrazz:

[NickNitro]

Ive posted this and am posting it again because Im VERY confused.

Why is it that we can not post any bootleg images anymore especially on the Thor forums and on the SHH main page they have Set pics of Conan and Sarsgaard as Hammond in Green Lantern.

We cant even post pics of Mjolnir and its been released to the public in IM2....

Please help me understand.

[SpiderByte]

Spy pics > Bootleg.

[bossman550]

We want change!!

[Ash Talon]

I read the article and don't see anything about them confirming 3D for any Marvel movie. They said somewhere in the future. IF they wanted to release Thor in 3D, they'd have to convert it in post. I doubt they'll go that route, since the conversions don't seem to be very popular.

I don't think Cap or Avengers will be in 3D. Cap starts shooting at the end of this month. I think that decision would have been made by now and leaked.

Avengers could be done in 3D, but I think that film is already going to be crazy to make. Why tack on the headache of making it in 3D? I think it'll be enough to juggle the story and numerous characters.

Stick to the story and characters, Marvel. Leave the gimmicks for others.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd love to see Avengers in 3D. That's still 2 years off, so they have plenty of time to plan it out and do it right. Thor and even Captain America might not be worth it, especially if they'd have to shoehorn it into Thor.

[SpiderByte]

I just realized.
I don't know if anyones said this before, but remember those icebergs way back when?

I just realized.

They're for the FROST GIANTS.

[MikeFrost]

Are you serious, captain obvious?

[Webhead2006]

YEa i too saw the news article on main page and a few others about marvel studios thinking of doing 3d releases. Now kevin feige didnt say they were going to do it. Just they are looking into it. And if they did do it captain america and avengers would be shot in 3d since both are not filming yet. But since thor is wrapping up shortly it would have to be converted into post. Now i do hope they dont get into the whole 3d bandwagon and all that. I like it and all. But if it doesnt get done right it can look like crap. So hopefully if they do it they will take the time to do it right. But we shouldnt get to bent out over it yet. Since we dont know if it will happen or not yet.

[NickNitro]

I would be VERY dissapointed if they made Thor 3D in post. Post 3D is a HUGE hack and basically spits on the technology of live action 3D cameras. I honestly would not want to see any of these movies in 3D, I feel sometimes it takes away from the movie especially live action films (and especially when its done in post cough cough Clash couh cough).

Really the only 3D movies ill go see are ones that are CG. Saw How to Train Your Dragon in 3D and loved it.

Thats my take on 3D.

If these do come out in 3D Ill go see them in 2D....this fad needs to stop and quick. Some companies I feel now are using 3D as a crutch more then an added bonus. "Oh man we know our movie is going to suck but ITS IN 3D! COME SEE IT!"

[R_Hythlodeus]

If these do come out in 3D Ill go see them in 2D....this fad needs to stop and quick.
QFT!
My thoughts exactly

[Raiden]

Thor should not be converted to 3D, and ruin the movie like it did for COTT. I also hope they won't make Capt. America 3D either, but if they want to do it for Avengers I won't be opposed to it. However, with all those actors, F/X, and CGI in the movie, it will be even more expensive if they want to shoot it in 3D, and I'm not sure if Whedon is up to the task.

[TheCorpulent1]

I like the idea of Avengers in 3D. It's the culmination of everything--the heroes come together and are totally awesome and it's all in 3D to boot!

[Brian Braddock]

Imagine what they could do with Jarvis and >gasp< Vision in 3D (!).

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh man, I so hope they put the Vision in Avengers. He's the heart and soul of the team. He's more integral than Cap, Thor, and Iron Man to me. I would love to see them give him a liquid metal look for the film.

[Agent 194]

It's not Thor news but I think he would have painted him well..

Really!?

I don't see how since those three are the original and founding members of the team. The team wouldn't exactly exist if it weren't for those guys.

[TheCorpulent1]

Cap's not a founding member; Thor, Iron Man, Hank Pym, the Wasp, and the Hulk are the Avengers' founders.

Anyway, I'm not talking about the team's existence. I mean the Vision is more of an integral part to the family that the team evolved into. Long after most of the founders had left, the Vision stuck around in virtually every incarnation of the Avengers and provided stability. Plus, I personally think he's a great character.

[Vartha]

Cap appeared later. For that matter it was the Avengers who FOUND Cap in ice.

[NickNitro]

Speaking of Hulk as an Avenger, everyone saw the monitors in the background of IM2 showing the campus scene of TIH correct? Is this safe to assume he WILL be involved in the Avengers movie. Cant really see him not in it. I think he brings a FANTASTIC dynamic to the Avengers team.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Oh man, I so hope they put the Vision in Avengers. He's the heart and soul of the team. He's more integral than Cap, Thor, and Iron Man to me. I would love to see them give him a liquid metal look for the film.

Vision would be cool but I wouldn't expect him in the first Avengers film, hopefully a sequel though. I can't believe they have a meaningless Avenger like Black Widow scheduled to appear before the Pym's, Wanda, Pietro, Hawkeye or Vision!

[marcvader]

Even though Cap didn't join till #4 I still consider him a founder as well as the face of the Avengers. Anyways, I'd love to see Vision in a sequel.

[Webhead2006]

yea i rather they not do it post conversion for thor since we are close to finishing of production. I rather have it held off to avengers where it would be prime to do, cause it gives them the rest of this yr to look into the 3d processes and different types of cameras and seeing how things can go, and do tests and all that. To see if they want to do it and all that. Where as thor would be messed up doing it in post, and it doesnt really fit with captain america and being in the 1940s and all that. Plus joe johnston on cap has stated he wants to shot on 2d hd cameras and not 3d in the past. And i am sure with production starts in less then a month and a half they already have equipment locked and ready to go with. And going into it this close to production for cap could damper its filming. But at least feige only said they were looking into it and not officially saying marvel studios films will be 3d like wb has stated for their upcoming film slates for next few yrs.

[Chewy]

So Feore should have no trouble with his fantasy role in Thor, the Marvel Comics movie extravaganza directed by Kenneth Branagh.

The frustrating thing, however, is he can't even tell us whether he's a good guy or bad in the much-anticipated superhero flick set for release next spring.

"Marvel hasn't allowed me to say anything," says the respected 51-year-old Stratford, Ont., thespian of stage and screen.

"I can tell you makeup took me five hours every day, and that made for a very long day," he adds as a teaser. "But Branagh is a genius at scheduling, so it worked out fine for me."

And what about the Thor story? His gag order extends to plot lines and previews, too. "It was a lot of fun to do," he finally says. "And I imagine it's going to be huge."SOURCE (http://www.montrealgazette.com/entertainment/Colm+Feore+range+knows+bounds/3014598/story.html)

So he's definitely not playing a human character

[Webhead2006]

hmmm i wonder who colm is going to be.

[R_Hythlodeus]

Cap appeared later. For that matter it was the Avengers who FOUND Cap in ice.
correction: the sub-mariner found cap in the ice.

[SpiderByte]

While fighting the Avengers, I believe.

[Texas]

While fighting the Avengers, I believe.
Actually, Namor threw Cap out into the open water and then the Avengers found him while coming back from another mission :hehe:

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah, if I remember correctly, the found him by complete accident.

[SpiderByte]

Ah.

I can imagine it now:

Namor: "What the hell is this doing here?" *chucks it*

Avengers conveniently walk by.

Iron Man: "Hey look, an Iceberg! Let's take it with us!"

[ImWithTeamConan]

Not as big a Thor comic reader as you guys so, who do you think Feore's playing?

[Chewy]

I would say either Malekith or Ymir

[SpiderByte]

The Iron Man HUD in 3D......

[MultiPurposePon]

Not as big a Thor comic reader as you guys so, who do you think Feore's playing?

My best guess has always been a Frost Giant; either Ymir or Laufey, Loki's father.

But an idea just came to me this afternoon that makes more and more sense each time I think about it. Bear with me for a moment...

What if Colm Feore was playing Baron Von Strucker?

http://seat42f.com/images/stories/tvshows/24/Season7/colm-feore-24-season-7.jpg
http://www.**************.com/images/users/gallerypictures/11242L.jpg

Here's what I've been mulling over:

1. Feore said make-up took him five hours per day; that's the same amount of time it took Josh Brolin to put his similar Jonah Hex make-up on.

2. Feore is playing a secretive villain that was rumored from the start to be Earthbound, not otherworldly.

3. Sam Jackson revealed today that a S.H.I.E.L.D. movie will follow The Avengers. Strucker is the head of Hydra; S.H.I.E.L.D.'s nemesis.

4. Strucker is not only a villain of Nick Fury's, but Captain America. He even infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. at one point and worked with them for years without them knowing he was a spy (GREAT plot devise IMO)

5. The resemblance between character and actor is pretty good.

6. Though it didn't have any mention of Strucker in the leaked Thor scripts (of which I've read as well), surprise cameos such as this have usually been added in the Marvel films at the last minute.

Though I still think that Feore will most likely portray a Frost Giant, the Von Strucker idea does nothing but grow on me; like a rash.

What do you think?

[Aeltri]

I would say either Malekith or Ymir
I would lean (no pun intended) more toward the former because Feore's features are more like those of an elf than a giant to begin with. If they went with Malekith's typical costume they only had to worry about his hands, neck, face...and wig. To give you a better idea, it took SFX makeup artists an average of 8 hours (5 for the face and 3 for the body) to transform Luke Goss into Prince Nuada for Hellboy 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23GO7pneie0

[Chewy]

Another thing to keep in mind about Feore is that he was one of the very first actors cast. First Hemsworth and Hiddleston were cast, then Portman, then Feore and Alexander (then Skarsgard, then Hopkins, etc etc). He isn't going to be a fanwank character used only to set up future films, his casting was a priority and he'll be a major character in this

[Aesop Rocks]

Ah.

I can imagine it now:

Namor: "What the hell is this doing here?" *chucks it*

Avengers conveniently walk by.

Iron Man: "Hey look, an Iceberg! Let's take it with us!"

Stop. Just. Stop.

[Webhead2006]

von stroker could be a good pick but yea if not that probably a frost giant or that ymir character.

[Whiskey Tango]

von stroker

*snerk*

[Vartha]

I would say either Malekith or Ymir

I'm going with Malekith.

[TheCorpulent1]

He has a good look for Malekith. I have absolutely no idea how they'd manage to fit Malekith into the movie with Loki and the Destroyer already on their plate, though...

[NickNitro]

I agree Corp I feel that cramming too many villians into Thor would be a bad idea. Its understandable at times if they add characters to promote or push an upcoming movie but it needs to be done tastefully and not make it feel like its too cluttered.

Im really pushing for this movie to be epic I really am....There are some very talented people in this cast, lets hope my dreams come true :)

[Vartha]

I'd have to say that it would be the "Ancient War" that gets Thor banished.
The 1st draft had Malekith involved too just in a different manner.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

He has a good look for Malekith. I have absolutely no idea how they'd manage to fit Malekith into the movie with Loki and the Destroyer already on their plate, though...

Maybe it's just a small role seting up for a sequel!:awesome:

[louiebling$]

Maybe it's just a small role seting up for a sequel!:awesome:
I was thinking this aswell

[Raiden]

I was thinking this aswell

I hope after The Avengers, we will get 2 more Thor movies. I know it really depends on how well Thor does in the BO, but there's so many epic stories yet to be told and I hope we will get most of them over the course of a trilogy.

[Chewy]

Indeed. We need a sequel that introduces Balder, Amora, and Skurge and then a threequel about Ragnarok :thor:

[TheCorpulent1]

Thor 3 villain = Surtur. That is all.

[Webhead2006]

well the thing is we dont know how much characters will be on screen for like the destroyer, to who ever colm is, and all that compared to loki and the others. Wit hthe right folks/script it can work with multi characters/villains and all that. Plus for all we know certain characters could just have a small role here and maybe a bigger threat in avengers if the whole loki rumor being a threat in avengers happens.

[TheCorpulent1]

I hope they keep the element of Loki being the cause for the Avengers' formation. I always loved that. :up:

[SpiderByte]

Stop. Just. Stop.

What?

[SpiderByte]

Thor 3 villain = Surtur. That is all.

I can beat that.

Thor 3 villain = Perrikus.

[Son of Coul]

subscribin'.

[TheCorpulent1]

I can beat that.

Thor 3 villain = Perrikus.
:facepalm:

[louiebling$]

Doea any one else want to see Beta Ray Bill on the Big screen?

[SpiderByte]

:facepalm:

Aaaaaaand I actually learn who the **** Surtur IS.

Surtur for Thor 3 it is.

[SpiderByte]

Doea any one else want to see Beta Ray Bill on the Big screen?

Well...it would only really work for an animated movie, because it's kind of pointless to replace him in live-action.

Plus, as far as I can tell, he's basically Thunderstrike....but a horse.

[TheCorpulent1]

Beta Ray Bill is vastly superior in every way to Thunderstrike. He's got his own very beautiful, tragic story and, although he shares a lot of traits with Thor, he can be a very interesting character in his own right.
Doea any one else want to see Beta Ray Bill on the Big screen?
I'd love to, but I have no clue how they'd make him work in live-action. It seems like he would either look really goofy or really horrifying.

[SpiderByte]

Yeah. Good character, but very hard to do well.

[Chewy]

Sam Worthington for Beta Ray Bill!

:cwink:

[Maximum Carnage]

Awesome casting of Odin! This movie is gonna be EPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[SpiderByte]

That news is, like.....seven months old.

[Spidey-Quad]

No no no... 2nd and 3rd movie about ...

... MANGOG!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangog

An awesome story that would give solid background on Asgard, The Odin sleep, The Odinsword. not to mention the Recorder (one of my favs) and warriors three. A cosmic epic with a built in cliff-hanger, and in the second part the beauty of the Golden Realm.

Much too soon for Surtur for me.

[Whiskey Tango]

Any time I see the name Malekith, I think of the awesome Casket of Ancient Winters story from Simonson's run. That was the first Thor story I ever read. I'd love it if they adapted that for a later film.

[TheCorpulent1]

I like Mangog as much as the next guy, but 2 movies? I could see him as the big bad for the second movie, like the Enchantress and the Executioner hear about this ancient legend of a race Odin wiped out and discover Mangog and try to use him against Thor. Then the third movie could deal with Surtur and a truly massive war that encompasses all of Asgard.

I think prostetics would work if they shortened the snout a bit.. but honestly Bill is a Really complelling charcter and I think it would be a great thing to see Odin hnd him Storn Breaker :awesome:

Sam Worthington for Beta Ray Bill!

:cwink:

:hehe:

[UnkillableMick]

I really, really want to see a picture of Loki, now.

[Manowar]

He has a good look for Malekith. I have absolutely no idea how they'd manage to fit Malekith into the movie with Loki and the Destroyer already on their plate, though...

Maybe Malekith after getting beatened by Thor in Asgard early in the movie has his revenge by somehow getting control of/possessing The Destroyer Armor (with Loki's help) and having epic battle on Earth..

Thor 3 villain = Surtur. That is all.

And he would be CGI and look like the Balrog fire demon from LoTR :)

Imagine the Ragnarok on the Bigscreen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marcvader]

How early do teaser posters and standees start making it into theaters?

[Aesop Rocks]

A few months before release.

[SpiderByte]

Teaser posters in general, online and such, about, say......7 months. Around the fall, basically.

[TheCorpulent1]

How about teaser trailers? I really want to see something from Thor in actual motion. So far we've just got a couple of pictures and the scene after Iron Man 2's credits, which basically amounts to a still of the hammer.

[SpiderByte]

By that, I'm gonna guess ComiCon. Like last year.

[Aeltri]

I think prostetics would work if they shortened the snout a bit.. but honestly Bill is a Really complelling character and I think it would be a great thing to see Odin hnd him Storn Breaker :awesome:
:hehe:

I'd like to see Bill as well, but they would definitely need to use extensive CG on top of a live actor ala Davy Jones from POTC 2. With his physiology no simple prosthetic would move believably enough.

[TheCorpulent1]

By that, I'm gonna guess ComiCon. Like last year.
Blargh, that's July. :csad:

[Chewy]

There will be a day when Paramount sends a very high res teaser poster of each of the film's principal Asgardians to the various nerd-movie sites on the web, and they'll pop up within a few hours of each other. And what a day it will be :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

Will "glorious" even properly describe it? I guess that depends on how the posters look.

[Figs]

Will "glorious" even properly describe it? I guess that depends on how the posters look.

As you said, depending on the posters themselves, it might not just be "glorious" but dare I say..."Godly". :awesome:

[Webhead2006]

yea there will probably be footaged screened at comic con(hopefully get leaked out) but the first regular public trailer/teaser probably wont be around to sept-nov range.

[louiebling$]

I'd like to see Bill as well, but they would definitely need to use extensive CG on top of a live actor ala Davy Jones from POTC 2. With his physiology no simple prosthetic would move believably enough.
I didn't even think of that... man total brain fart.. helllo Avatar lol... Damn using that tech would make Bill look entirely real... my god that would be amazing :awesome:
Blargh, that's July. :csad:
Remember that when we got our Iron Man Teaser , actually it was the extended cut of the teaser :awesome:

SuperHeroHype: After the big build-up in "Iron Man 2," are you totally pumped for Thor to hit theaters next year?
Chris Hemsworth: Absolutely! I just finished shooting last Thursday, and saw "Iron Man 2" the other day--which I loved--and saw the tag at the end. I was with a bunch of mates and we all got kind of giddy watching it. I can’t wait! It was such an incredible four months shooting that film, and I think the film’s going to be fantastic.

SHH: We’ve finally seen you in the costume. How did it feel to have the Thor costume on – the very first time, and for four months?
Hemsworth: [Laugh] Yeah, right! Okay, exactly – I put the thing on and said "It’s not very comfortable, but it looks amazing, so it’s all good." And then a couple of weeks in, I thought "It’s getting more and more uncomfortable," and at the end of three, four months it was a pretty difficult thing to wake up and put on every morning. But it’s sells such an image in the picture. It does a lot of the work for you.

SHH: And what was your take on Thor – how did you see him, as you wanted to play him?
Hemsworth: We just kept trying to humanize it all, and keep it very real. Look into all the research about the comic books that we could, but also bring it back to "Who is this guy as a person, and what’s his relationship with people in the individual scenes?" And working with someone like Kenneth Branagh, who has all those bases covered and has so many ideas, it was a hell of a time!

SHH: And lots of hammer training.
Hemsworth: [Laughs] Oh yeah!

[louiebling$]

Yea I just read that :awesome::thor:

[Microchip]

Sweet, Thor's all done! And all we have to show for it is one bootlegged set pic of a certain somebody in a desert... they certainly kept this shoot under wraps.

I guess the clock's ticking for Comic Con now! They should have ample time to do something nice up.

[Rock Sexton]

.... I'm saying NO to the idea of Beta Ray Billy. There's a certain aspect of comic books that gets a little "excessive" and it's all these characters that are sort of alternate versions of other mainstream ones. The changing of the guard concept is a little played out in the regard. War Machine is about as far as I'd ever want to see Marvel take it with'em.

[Vartha]

http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/101160-exclusive-chris-hemsworth-on-thor
NICE now where's more pics?:woot:

[Gamma Burst]

Comic Con can't come soon enough!

[Maximillian]

I really want to see Hiddleston as Loki.

I agree. Add to that the words "alien horse cyborg" and, well ... :whatever:

[NickNitro]

I agree with Maximillion. I cant wait to see Loki. Im actually more excited to see Loki then anyone else.

Hiddleston I believe has the look without any costume or makeup. I think he'll look THE BEST out of all the characters.

COMICON WHY CANT YOU BE NOW! :argh::bh::(

[Chewy]

No Studio loves us that much :( ... Not even Marvel :waa:
Paramount did it with GI Joe, WB did it with Watchmen, even Fox did it with X3 and XOW.

Well... Okay, I can live with that!!! You're right, two movies would be a bit much.

Also I love Beta Ray Bill, but I doubt that we'll get to see him live :(

If no Mangog, my second favorite Thor story is, Thor in Hades stepping up for Hurcules, after nobody from Olypia would! It was like Thor in Moria, going all King Kong on all of Hades!

[Webhead2006]

cant wait for more photos/press come out for the film. also nice to hear the film has wrapped.

[Aesop Rocks]

I can't wait either.

I'm actually completely surprised how locked down they're keeping Thor, when IMO, it's the most important aspect of the Marvel filmverse.

[ImWithTeamConan]

I know. Green Lantern had pics up from their shoot like the first day.

[Rock Sexton]

I agree. Add to that the words "alien horse cyborg" and, well ... :whatever:

Exactly .... LOL. That would get laughed right out of the theater.

[TheCorpulent1]

Well... Okay, I can live with that!!! You're right, two movies would be a bit much.

That was a good story. I wouldn't count on crossovers with other pantheons of gods in the movies, but if they did one, that would be a great story to adapt. :up:

[Webhead2006]

oh totally man the thor film was totally locked down really all we got was a photo of ice sheet, and the leaked out destroyer photo. And we know the first 2 or so months was all studio work. Then the last 2/2 and a half months was location stuff. Must have been the difference being out in the middle of nowhere. Compared to gl shooting in downtown new orleans, and studio space too. But it looks to be alot of location shots in gl being done first.

[TNC9852002]

Wow. These 4 months went by fast...

[Aesop Rocks]

http://**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=18150

The costume looks amazing. How did it look when you first tried it on? What did you think?

Chris Hemsworth: "Oh, it was crazy. I remember the first camera test and putting it on and going, 'Oh my god,' and then everyone who came and looked at it was like, 'Wow, this is a monumental sort of moment.' And standing in it was a very odd experience, you know? But it was beautiful. I mean, Alex Byrne designed the costume and they spent I think almost two years kind of leading up and building that thing and setting it up. It really paid off. The thing is incredible. It's not very comfortable, but…"

How can you move in that?

Chris Hemsworth: "You can't, really. We broke a lot of them. It's pretty restrictive. But it it's such a picture. Anthony Hopkinssaid to me in the camera test, we were both looking at each other's costumes and he said, 'God, there's no acting required here, is there?' And I thought, 'Absolutely.'"

Being cast as Thor, that's a huge weight on your shoulders. There are so many people expecting a lot out of you. How do you handle that?



Chris Hemsworth: "You know, I just finished – I wrapped on last Thursday – and I've been involved in that for eight, nine months, actually longer since I found out about it and the lead up, and the whole time it felt like I was kind of treading water to keep my head above water and not think about it. And then now I'm sort of sinking under, going, 'Wow, what a crazy experience.' But there was such a support group in that film. A lot of the producers have written comic books, written Thor comics. You've got Kenneth Branagh who's just a genius. And then Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard…it's just an exceptional cast."

I was talking to Ray Stevenson and the word he kept saying over and over again was 'epic'. Does that describe what it was like on the set?

Chris Hemsworth: "Yeah, incredibly epic. That's funny. I kept saying epic when I came onto the film and they were all giving me digs about it."

Is there any particular scene that you're really looking forward to fans being able to see?

Chris Hemsworth: "Oh god, I mean the whole thing. The action sequences in this, Andy Armstrong and Vic Armstrong – the geniuses who have been doing stunts in this business for 20 or 30 years – did the stunts on this, and I've never seen anything like what they set up and all the stunt guys what they put together, wire gags but then also real hand-to-hand sort of combat. I mean incredible sets. Bo Welch built these sets and we hardly used any green screen. There were these big recreations of Asgard, this sort of sci-fi, Viking mixture."

So when you walk on a set like that, you actually feel like you're in…

Chris Hemsworth: "Oh, absolutely. The combination of the costumes and the sets it was like literally the work was done for you in a lot of ways, you know? It was sort of about less, less."

And are you ready for The Avengers?

Chris Hemsworth: "Look, I just sat down with the Marvel guys and Joss Whedon recently and talked about it. It starts next January, I think, or February, around that time we start shooting. And I think it's going to be a hell of a ride. When you bring in Iron Man and Captain America and whoever else they wrangle from the Marvel universe, it's going to be a hell of a film."

Are you going to stay in shape in between the films?

Chris Hemsworth: "Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to eat too much pizza and let myself go too much. A couple of weeks and then I'll sweat it off and get back into it."

I have to ask this as being a non-Thor person, am I going to understand the movie?

Chris Hemsworth: "Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I mean none of us were… You know, I didn't grow up reading comic books and neither did Kenneth Branagh. So what we worked on was, yeah, we pay all the respect due to where its origin is, but also create a film about real people, real characters, and relationships between fathers and sons – Odin and Loki and Thor and the turmoil that exists there and what have you. That was what it always came down to. It simplified it. Yes, we have this amazing backdrop and the world of comics, but it was about people."

My camera person would kill me if I didn't ask you – the hammer, what's it like?

Chris Hemsworth: "It's incredible. I tried to steal it but they wouldn't let me. It's a beautiful piece of design, equipment, whatever… What would you call it? Weapon. No, it's incredible. It looks just like what they have in the comics with the engravings from Asgard."

[Crimson King]

^NEAT

Also:
"Look, I just sat down with the Marvel guys and Joss Whedon recently and talked about it."

Is that the first real confirmation from an Avengers actor that Whedon is actually the director? RDJ and the others were all, "IF he's the director, then..."

[SpiderByte]

Looks like.

[Son of Coul]

Out of all the interviews between RDJ, Favreau, Sam Jackson, Chris Evans, Norton, etc. Hemsworth seems to know the most what's up from his interviews. Other than Kevin Feige of course, but Hemsworth is more open about it. I like his interest and enthusiasm, the others are like "Oh yeah, that Avengers movie, that's a thing that's happening at some point I guess"

[TheCorpulent1]

Ha, that does seem like a bit of a slip.

[Son of Coul]

I'm sure he'll get thrown in a van and receive 40 lashes from Kevin soon.

[Aesop Rocks]

They fire him and push Thor back to 2012, re-shoot it. :awesome:

[Son of Coul]

UH OH Thor confirmed the director everyone already knew about- TIME FOR A REBOOT!

[TheCorpulent1]

They fire him and push Thor back to 2012, re-shoot it. :awesome:
Don't even joke. :dry:

[Aesop Rocks]

can't joke the truth. :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

I've been waiting for this movie for 12 years. One more may very well kill me. :o

[SpiderByte]

If you die, can I have your place as admin?

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm not an admin, I'm just a lowly mod.

Also, no, you can't. :argh:

[Parker Wayne]

Don't die on me now Corpulent! The teaser will most likely come in July!

[Rock Sexton]

Jesus Marvel, just throw us a few more frickin' bones already!!!!

Good interview though.

[Vartha]

If you die, can I have your place as admin?
NO I'm up for it next:thor: Wraith of Mjolnir here!

[Vartha]

Jesus Marvel, just throw us a few more frickin' bones already!!!!

Good interview though.
.....it's like a sexy woman leading you on and leading you on then saying NO you can't have any.:doh:

[Webhead2006]

yea i be waiting to see more stuff for the film.

[Avengers-Report]

I'm totally going to bootleg some footage at Comic-Con.

[Spidey_62]

I'm totally going to bootleg some footage at Comic-Con.
Make us proud!:awesome:

[The_Mighty_Thor]

.....it's like a sexy woman leading you on and leading you on then saying NO you can't have any.:doh:

Yeah, but vikings aren't suposed to take no for an answer!

[Whiskey Tango]

When is ComicCon again? July? That's a long time. :(

[chiefchirpa]

Stuff from Thor can be a shot in the arm for Iron Man 2 legs.

[Webhead2006]

yea if there is footage which i am sure they will do i would love if it makes it way online. some times we have been lucky for things in past comic con panels and other times nothing. so crossing fingers some lucky fan gets a camera sneaked in some how lol.

[Son of Coul]

For Iron Man 2 I could see them keeping the footage under wraps, but after keeping all this reserved Marvel's got to want someone to whip out a camera to get the footage to build up some hype.

Unless they plan on releasing a teaser in September, which is very possible, as they've already wrapped shooting. It's not like IM2 where they finished literally a week before comic-con.

[Webhead2006]

well i am sure more stuff will be released between now and comic con in july, then of course first official teaser trailer around sept/oct, and then between nov-may the whole media blitz.

[SpiderByte]

This is basically the rule for bootleg on this site.

Movie Bootleg: Ban.

ComiCon Bootleg: Congratulations.

Which is basically the perfect system.

[SpiderByte]

well i am sure more stuff will be released between now and comic con in july, then of course first official teaser trailer around sept/oct, and then between nov-may the whole media blitz.

It's hard to imagine that actually happening. It's so surreal.

[Vartha]

heh I can't wait to see what products have Thor's image on them.
Jolt Cola would be a good one. lol

[Spider-Vader]

I have a feeling the marketing for Thor & Cap will be like Iron Man 1's.

Thor's first trailer will be out in September, Cap's will be out in December. Both will kick ass & get anticipation up the roof.

[Compi716]

I have a feeling the marketing for Thor & Cap will be like Iron Man 1's.

Thor's first trailer will be out in September, Cap's will be out in December. Both will kick ass & get anticipation up the roof.
This is the best case scenario. Hopefully it won't be like what happened with Iron Man 1 and The Incredible Hulk, where Hulk got barely any marketing in comparison to IM.

[Aesop Rocks]

Iron Man 2 didn't need as much marketing, the name sold itself.

[Aesop Rocks]

This is basically the rule for bootleg on this site.

Movie Bootleg: Ban.

ComiCon Bootleg: Congratulations.

Which is basically the perfect system.

wait wait wait WAIT.

You're for bootlegging now?

[SpiderByte]

It's freaking COMICON.

It's totally different. Bootlegging is EXPECTED.

[Aesop Rocks]

No, no it's not.

[SpiderByte]

If they don't expect even one person at a convention that will contain numerous guest stars to have a camera with them, they are idiots.

[Aesop Rocks]

So are movies at theaters, and you're up in arms about that.

[Son of Coul]

Can't we all stop beating around the bush and just agree that bootlegging's fully acceptable when it benefits us?

[Aesop Rocks]

Happy, youre a my knight in shining armor.

[Maximum Carnage]

LMFAO, Happy. Amen.

[Webhead2006]

yea i hope they are smart and promote both thor/capt well enough.

[Still A ThorFan]

I hope the movie is over 2 hours. Its already villan heavy which I love, and it looks like it is going to be taken a little more serious than other Marvel movies.

I have a good feeling Thor is going to crush the competition especially if it gets positive critical reviews. The film will look superior to garbage like Transformers 3 and GI Joe 2. On the other hand the typical American movie goer likes that garbage.

[Maximum Carnage]

We shall see!

[Keyser Soze]

If they don't expect even one person at a convention that will contain numerous guest stars to have a camera with them, they are idiots.

Yes, there are always going to be people filming at Comic-Con. I recall last year, before Iron Man 2, the guy came out and pleaded with fans not to record any footage, as this was supposed to be a special treat for the people at Comic-Con, and the footage making its way onto the internet might put studios off sharing exclusive material with them in future. And while he's saying this, you see the digital cameras all blinking into life. One guy even stood up, walked out to the aisle in the middle of the hall, set up a F***ING TRIPOD, put his camera on it and started filming.

But still, while I do expect footage to leak, and I wouldn't blame people for watching it if it becomes available, what I am against is people demanding the footage be leaked, getting aggressive about it not leaking, attacking the people who went and didn't record footage and generally acting like they're entitled to see the footage. Things for pretty hostile last year on the Iron Man 2 boards, and this is what I said on the matter back then:

I know I'm a bit late for the argument, and I know my opinion won't be popular, but after reading through 30 pages of this thread to catch up on all the reactions since the trailer was unveiled at Comic-Con, I have to speak up.

I don't want the Comic-Con trailer to be leaked.

There has been a lot of people posting on here with an overwhelming sense of entitlement. Moaning about how long it's taking to see leaked footage, demanding leaked footage to be given to them sooner. I'm not accusing everyone, by any means, plenty of folk have just jokingly asked for footage. And I understand the desire to see the trailer. I certainly know that I wouldn't have turned down a chance to see that early leaked Dark Knight footage from WizardWorld. But I didn't EXPECT it, I didn't DEMAND it. I understood that seeing it at all would have been a mere bonus, an act of generosity, not something I actually deserved or was entitled to.

I saved up my money all year for Comic-Con. Between time on two seperate plane journeys and time spent in airports, I spent north of 20 hours on my journey from Glasgow, Scotland to San Diego, California. I went and waited in line Saturday morning, and sat in Hall H through the 4 panels preceding Iron Man 2 to be sure I had a seat for it, essentially giving over my whole day for the opportunity. I earned the chance to see that footage. I bought the chance.

So when someone who hasn't paid a penny, who hasn't taken a step away from their computer screen, gets all furious and pissy because they haven't been handed on a silver platter the footage I went through all this to see, it annoys me a little bit. If the footage gets leaked, sure, go ahead and watch it, enjoy it. Just don't act like you're entitled to it. That footage was a special treat for the people who put the effort into being in that room.

And that will generally be my stance for Thor and Green Lantern this year too.

[Webhead2006]

i am sure the film will be 2hrs bare minium, max probably around 2hr 10mins.

[SpiderByte]

Chris Hemsworth is now my favorite actor. I mean, this is the response of everyone else when asking about Avengers.

"Yeah, it looks like it's going well."

"Oh yeah, that's going well."

Hemsworth (in a nutshell):

"Actually, now that you mention it, a while ago I was talking with Joss Whedon and the other guys about it. It looks great."

He isn't dodging the questions. Hell, he's giving more information then the questions asked for.

He really, really interacts with the fans. He's honest, polite...wow.

Explain to me again why this guy is a minor actor? He seems like a fantastic person to be with.

[The_Mighty_Thor]

Explain to me again why this guy is a minor actor?.


Because Thor hasn't come out yet!

[NickNitro]

@ Keyser Soze

That was very well put argument. I went to a convetion called Siggraph in June 2008 in LA right after Iron Man was released and they showed behind the scenes production focus's on how they created the Armor and what not. I do understand where are you coming from when it bugs you that people demand something when they didnt take the time/money out and go watch it themselves first hand.

I think your argument that people feel "entitled" is put best.

[R_Hythlodeus]

people demand something when they didnt take the time/money out and go watch it themselves first hand.

:doh:
chauvinistic approach.
Most of the time those events are happening in California or somewhere else in the States. Approximately 99% of the comic fans do NOT live in California or anywhere near. I would say a majority doesn't even live in the US. Our possibilities to "go and watch it ourselves" is therefore restricted.

yeah it's not like anyone made you go to comic con. you knew the footage would eventually be leaked

I travelled from Scotland to San Diego for the chance to see such exclusive footage last year, and will be doing the same this year in hopes at getting a sneak peek at Thor, Green Lantern and maybe The Walking Dead.

When I went to LA I went with friends and we all split a room. I was living in Florida which is on the other side of the U.S. Literally. This is not a comment I made living In LA where I can simply walk over to ComiCon or Siggraph or what have you. This took months in advance of planning and fund raising :oldrazz:

That isnt even my point though that I was trying to make. Im not saying if you dont go to these events you CANT SEE THE FOOTAGE OR ELSE! Im saying for the select few like posted above from Keyser Soze about people who p!ss and moan about not having the footage givin to them when they are sitting at home on their computers. Be grateful that stuff gets leaked to us at least. Some people just want a free ride and act like spoiled little kids that cant get icecream after dinner even though their friends do.

I wasn't one to complain about any footage, and I do agree with said points, but I am pissed that CC sold out in about 4 months, people who were there the previous year got first dibs at tickets for the next, and that there was no mention of ticket sales on any site I frequent. So when I went to purchase tickets for this year, I was already left in the dust. I had a whole vacation planned around CC and being in Cali, and it was ruined. I don't mind how they handle secret or special footage, nor do I really care if it leaks, but they could manage ticket sales better.

I live in San Diego and CC was pre-reging for a $100 for this year's CC. I bet people got scared it was going to jump up in price so they bought it then!? I was insulted that they jumped to price 40 dollars and all we get is more movies and tshirt vendors than comic vendors! So I bought Thurday and Sunday passes for $50! I hardly go Saturday and Friday so it is better for me except I have to wait in line twice as oppose to once for my badge!

I'm torn between telling CC to go to hell and hope that we get Wizard Con here instead when they move to LA!!!???

I go to CC for comics not movies and tshirts!

[Webhead2006]

yea i would love to go to a comic con myself. but i cant. and yea its always cool when anything from big films do leak out at con like footage or photos and all that.

[SpiderByte]

I plan to go the year after I graduate high school.

Hell, maybe I can ask for that to be my graduation gift. :D

[louiebling$]

I wanted to go next year(The Avengers,Bats,Supes,Spider-Man and TMNT) but I got a new job that requires me to work July-December with no Time Off..... :(

Damn Tomato Season :argh:

comic con sold out within days this year so its not even POSSIBLE for some people to go.

[Aesop Rocks]

MovieViral is going! :awesome:

[starscream]

so the movie has already been shot in full ?

[Vartha]

That's what they're saying. That is unless they need more scenes done later.

[MikeFrost]

Now we just have to wait until Comic Con... :D

By the way guys, this is a little bit offtopic but maybe you can help me:

I made a Thor model for a game and I need sounds for him. If anyone can get/has some good sounds for him (either games or animated series) I'd like you to contact me plox.
