The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[Khemik@L]

oh no, it's not the casting (i'm really starting to dif the idea of krasinski as cap) it's johnston. guy's got a sketchy track record and all the little tidbits he keeps dropping don't exactly fill me with hope.

Just yesterday I was thinking the more I look at Krasinski the more the idea of him as cap is starting to grow on me. I don't know just something that guy I think he may be able to surprise us if chosen. Again whoever is cast is who MArvel and the Director feel is the best for the part so I'm not that worried. They know what they are doing

[FaT_tONle]

Avengers will never reach its full potential as long as Penn is penning it. X-3, as most people have acknowledged, was beyond atrocious. It should have been a 300 million dollar film with that budget and it failed to meet that standard. TIH failed at the box office, and if I remember correctly, the screen play was lousy as heck. Nelson/Leaders dialogue was pure camp, but I understand the comic relief. However, Banner/Blonsky had some cringe worthy dialogue in there that detracted from the movie. Some of that falls on Norton and Marvel, but since we credit it under Penn's belt, he has to take the brunt of the blame for it. When you follow up Elecktra with a terrible X-Men and suspect Hulk screenplay, something is wrong. It's not just the people around you. Expect more cheeze in Avengers before expecting more epicness.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm not worried about Penn's first draft as much as I'm worried about Marvel noticing DC is getting their crap together and not letting Penn or somebody else rework the story till its ready and rushing the thing out there.

A good Avengers movie wouldn't be that hard.

But a great Avengers movie? Story needs to be epic.

Marvel needs to breathe and take their time, they are blazing a trail, better do it right.
Isn't Avengers' intended release date still like 2 whole years away? I think the fact that they've got a first draft to start working on so early is a good sign that they are taking their time.

I wouldn't say that. It made a profit world-wide(a tidy profit to be sure) and then they were able to cash in on the ancillaries(DVD, TV rights, etc.)

But I'm no fan of Penn, that for damn sure. I don't know how he still keeps getting work.

[RetroNaz]

To be fair, X3 was screwed as soon as the studios interferred with the film.

I wouldn't blame Penn for that.

[Son of Coul]

X3 should've had a 300 million dollar budget?

[Webhead2006]

hey lix thanks for getting back to me, i was just wondering your reasons. So thanks again for getting back to my post. As for penn like others have said sure he doesnt have the best record. But sometimes that is good. It shows where he needs to work on and get better. Plus we are over a yr or so before avengers will probably be shot. So that is way more then enough time for marvel execs, the film producers, penn and other writers to rewrite it with new drafts. Or it could be dropped entirely and a new guy comes in with a totally different story. I still say we are probably not going to see avengers filming to between feb-april next year.

[Figs]

X3 should've had a 300 million dollar budget?

See, that I don't really agree with. What it really needed other than a better script was a longer run time.

[Son of Coul]

Yeah. I mean dude, even Avatar didn't have that kinda budget.

[JAK®]

To be fair, X3 was screwed as soon as the studios interferred with the film.

I wouldn't blame Penn for that.
Penn is part of the studio interference.

[Khemik@L]

Penn is part of the studio interference.

Well according to him it sounded like he sided with the director against the studio

[JAK®]

Well according to him it sounded like he sided with the director against the studio
He gets hired because his scripts are generic and cheap to film.

[FaT_tONle]

X3 should've had a 300 million dollar budget?

I meant it should've been a 300 million movie at the box office considering what it's actual budget was, which wasn't too far off from that. It was barely above X-2's numbers and costed almost double that.

[louiebling$]

Penn gets hired because he does a good foundation then they get rewrites that make the film better like TIH.


Or it could have just worked that one time :o

It really makes you wonder what the criteria is for giving people a gig like this.

haha, no problem.

[Khemik@L]

I give up you guys are impossible :hehe:

[FaT_tONle]

At the end of the day it comes down to the director. Singer was at least somewhat competent when he was on the X-Men franchise, and probably masked Penn's weaknesses in the script. Ratner is a director that can not mask bad scripting and direction for the story as deemed by the producers since he is a studio guy to begin with. He probably didn't care much for the source material to begin with. Letterier is a guy that only views dialogue as a respite before going full swing into the next action piece, as is pretty evident with the COTT trailer. Probably going to end up being another lighter toned 300 for that matter. Hit or miss with those, but should at least be somewhat entertaining. We need an intelligent director who can work with a complex and sophisticated plot that manages to entertain. Something well above even Iron Man level. Then I'll be impressed.

[Khemik@L]

Do you have a director in mind?

[RetroNaz]

He gets hired because his scripts are generic and cheap to film.

Does he?

So they would hire someone to take care of a franchise like the X-Men because he's generic and cheap? Hardly.

[ImWithTeamConan]

Do you have a director in mind?


Louis Letterier

[FaT_tONle]

Do you have a director in mind?

No particular order...

Ron Howard
David Fincher
Phillip Noyce
Tony Scott
Gore Verbinski

I'd consider guys like LL and Wiseman if I can get them on the cheap, but I need to sign them now so they can fully commit themselves to this over the next couple of years.

Guys I wouldn't mind but will probably be unavailable:

Ridley Scott
Robert Zemekis
Steven Spielburg (If they go with Skrulls)

[RetroNaz]

I can't stand Tony Scotts style of film making these days. Sorry! :(

[Micah12345]

*pops in to see what's going on with thor*

Oh sorry guys, I must have accidentally clicked on the x-men forum.

Ridley is hit or miss. Zemekis is alright. Howard & Spielberg have lost their mojo(IJ4 sucked big time). Fincher would be great. The rest of those are hacks.

[Webhead2006]

i totally cant wait to see who they pull in for avengers.

[night0205]

Ridley Scott is my favorite director. Christopher Nolan has proved himself to be trustworthy. Besides Forest Gump, not a big fan of Zemekis. Steven Spielburg, yeah, in many ways has lost his mojo. Ron Howard...yeah, not really the right kinda director. David Fincher is hit and miss with me. To tell you guys the truth I'm actually more trustworthy of J.J. Abrams then anyone else. Some people hate him, but I think he makes great movies and TV shows.

[Scarecrow_King]

as much as I love Zemeckis for Forest Gump and BTTF, I really just don't see him on this movie. Last time he tried to handle the action genre, we got Beowulf....

plus, I would like to see someone that's already involved in the Avengers franchise to handle it. it may seem arbitrary, but I would trust them more. Letterier and Favreau are currently my two top runners.

[CeeJay]

I'm reasonably stoked about this movie aye. It's the perfect time to be making a movie like this too, with the advances in technology. Wow ... It's really going to be wicked.

[JAK®]

It's pretty amazing how perfect this movie is shaping up to be.

[E.Brock]

Weren't we supposed to see set pics a week ago?

[TheCorpulent1]

According to what?

[E.Brock]

Im almost positive someone on this board was saying how excited they were for set pics at the beginning of the week...

[TheCorpulent1]

Probably just a wild guess or vain hope. I don't think we should expect set pics until the production moves to New Mexico and starts filming outside, where it's harder to keep cameras out.

[Weadazoid]

What ever Photo shoot they were doing remember they are going to work thier magic on the shots before they ever get released. Playing with light, aribrusing....ect ect....

[marvel_freshman]

I know this isn't official, but Ironhead Studios, which is the studio that withholds the costumes for Thor movie, has posted a thor pic under their current projects. Again it looks familiar, and probably is fake.

Never seen that before

[Son of Coul]

I assume it's fake but it looks pretty good.

[protocida]

^ JMC did it.

[louiebling$]

Yeah, you know what it's like. "Wouldn't it be cool if we got photos on Monday?" becomes "Gee, I really hope we get photos on Monday" becomes "I'm thinking we're going to get photos on Monday" becomes "We're definitely getting photos on Monday" becomes "We were told we'd be getting photos on Monday." Then when no photos appear on Monday, we start hearing "Screw Marvel, they lied to us! They promised us photos on Monday!"
HAHA, that's what ALWAYS happens. Truer words have never been spoken.

Weren't we supposed to see set pics a week ago?

[kedrell]

^I was tempted to do the same thing.

[ImWithTeamConan]

That "poster" was from a long time ago. Would like to agree with whoever said Abrams would do good with Avengers.

[FaT_tONle]

Abrams will be doing Trek 2, unless Pine ditches and the project falls apart, which is obviously not going to happen. Favreau has said he won't be available. So if people want to throw all their chips into LL, so be it. Not saying my suggestions are perfect, but throw out some more names... in the Avengers thread before the mods get on my ass.

[Sebastos]

Abrams would be perfect for Avengers, but yeah he'll be busy.

[Webhead2006]

yea that poster was as someone stated a manip made by jmc months ago that were here and posted on a wide variety of sites, and i believe even your site marvel freshmen had it up a few times. As for the photos thing. On jaime's twitter she said saturday they were doing a photo shoot soon. And some thought maybe we get something this week. But its probably for some magazine or promotional materials to come out in a few months. Though i am sure if we dont have anything from the film out before they move to new mexico for location shooting. We will get something then. once they are out in the open.

Nah, Thor isn't imposing enough in that fake picture, he should really look ****ing intimidating. A close up, hulking arms, an angry scowl and face front to the camera would do it for me.

Marvel delivers 'Thor' synopsis

Marvel Entertainment and Paramount Pictures have issued a synopsis for the upcoming superhero movie Thor, ScifiWire reports.

According to the studios' description, the film will span the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the mythical realm of Asgard.

"At the centre of the story is the mighty Thor (Chris Hemsworth), a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) and is forced to live among humans," the synopsis read.

"A beautiful, young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love. It's while here on Earth that Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth."

Directed by Kenneth Branagh, Thor is scheduled to arrive in theatres on May 6, 2011.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a207729/marvel-delivers-thor-synopsis.html

[TheCorpulent1]

Jane = "first" love? Really? Not enough to dampen my excitement for the film overall, but that doesn't sound too good...

[ddddeeee]

Interesting, it implies that Sif won't be a love interest. Obviously Frigga plays a big part aswell, since she's credited before Jaimie and Stellen.

[Webhead2006]

maybe she is a different type of love interest, or they want to hold off sif and thor for later in film series.

[piccolo]

Sif and Thor wont be an item, but they will probably have the kind of passive-aggressive sexual tension Hercules and Xena had. :hehe:

[Son of Coul]

what about **** buddies? :awesome:

[Sebastos]

Jane = "first" love? Really? Not enough to dampen my excitement for the film overall, but that doesn't sound too good...

I would have to agree.

[TheCorpulent1]

what about **** buddies? :awesome:
That's the prospect that bugs me. I get that Jane is the love interest for this film, and that's fine and makes sense and whatever, but I don't want to see Thor and Sif's relationship trivialized for the sake of Thor and Jane.

[Vartha]

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a207729/marvel-delivers-thor-synopsis.html


UGH wonder how this is going to Work. Unless Thor hasn't realized Sif loves him before he's banished.:doh:

[Aesop Rocks]

In the first draft, she didn't. She hated pre-banished Thor.

[ImWithTeamConan]

Kinda bums me out. Would love to see a love triangle between Thor, his woman, and his goddess. Maybe in a sequel.

Damn Hemsworth is one lucky dude.

[Aesop Rocks]

I actually dont' want Thor and Sif to get together. Hemidall and him are too close for that.

[b4thetrailercom]

If anyone gets specific filming locations in Sante Fe, or is able to get location pictures
come to www.beforethetrailer.com and send them to admin@beforethetrailer.com

for those in Sante Fe, If we are able to get specific filming locations we will post in our daily filming locations!!

[protocida]

Sif will probably be Thor's best friend that doesn't quite aproves his actions before banishment, but cares for him anyway (Basicly, she'll be Balder. :hehe:)

[Aesop Rocks]

I think Sif should just basically be a sister to Thor.

[Aesop Rocks]

Oh and, if Marvel doesn't want the first pictures of Thor to be leaked cellphone images. They better release those set pictures, and soon.

[marcvader]

Hah. First negative tidbit about this flick for me but nothing major. I'm sure most Asgardian's look at Thor as an arrogant douche at first, Sif included. Maybe there will be glimpses of something developing by films end.

[E.Brock]

That synopsis will get no complaints from me

[Parker Wayne]

That synopsis will get no complaints from me

This.

[piccolo]

Yeah, same. Thor being an arrogant douche can only mean more opportunities for action/conflict.

[Iceman]

Not really too interested in love triangles got to say. Don't think we need that kind of Thor / Sif relationship.

[E.Brock]

edit

[Aesop Rocks]

He's agreeing with you, E.Brock.

[Vartha]

In the first draft, she didn't. She hated pre-banished Thor.

That's true, I forgot about that.

[Vartha]

I actually dont' want Thor and Sif to get together. Hemidall and him are too close for that.

Well they are supposed to be together, it's meant to be.
I personally don't want Sif looking like she's narrow minded either tho.
I mean if they set it up to where she thinks Thor's a Jerk before banishment, and falls in love with the changed Thor I can handle that. Because even Odin thinks Thor's a jerk or Thor wouldn't be banished to earth.

Sif and Thor Belong together.

[Son of Coul]

As opposed as I am to traditional superhero movie love interests for the sake of a love interest (see Iron Man), the way it sounds, it's not the case with Thor.

I think in terms of love interests-

Bruce needs Betty

Thor should have this cool love triangle, just not make it like a teen melodrama (which I'm confident they won't)

Stark shouldn't have a love interest, at least not an ongoing one, remain a playboy

Cap doesn't need a love interest, but could be good to have one after he's unfrozen to show how out-of-touch he is with the modern world

And of course Hank needs Janet.

It's just good to have variety in these movies, instead of annexing the obligatory, often unnecessary love story to the movie. Like I said, some need it, but not every single one needs one, and if they do all have one, they can't always do sexual tension or damsel-in-distress or "I can't be with you because I'm super" cliche stuff with it. That was my least favorite part of the Spider-Man movies. And I thought that was one of the few things that bogged down Iron Man (which- hey, was excellent, 9/10).

[Sarg92]

The synopsis states that Natalie Portman's character, Jane Foster, is a scientist. Could Marvel link Thor and The Incredible Hulk together by mentioning Betty Ross and Jane are friends or Bruce Banner has worked with her in the past?

[Vartha]

Technically it Jane and Don and Thor and Sif. It's still two different persona's. from my understanding even tho Thor's sent to earth for humility. The jerk and the noble.

[Chewy]

Though Latino Review has grown into a reliable and formidable entertainment news entity in less than ten years, we're often still considered small fry by the studio system. That doesn't bother us too much, because we're solely devoted to you the readers, but it does help when the studios aid us in doing our job and that's providing information. We often get forwarded your typical news like the release of a movie trailer, casting, or your basic promotional material, but when it comes to getting invited to play in the same sandbox as the big news entities, on more than one occasion we're left out like a neglected stepchild. Case in point, the recent set visit in Manhattan Beach for Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures "Thor," (http://www.latinoreview.com/film-previews/thor-1333) which is now lensing.

Like I said, being left out doesn't bother us too much and actually we should consider it as a favor. Are our readers really interested in typical set visit Q&A sessions with cast and crew members where you learn little about the movie? Every outlet in attendance will basically run the same boring story anyway. How about something really news worthy, like the fact that several inside sources can give me real answers about where Marvel really wants to take Thor. What is the film's time-line within the growing Marvel movie universe? How will it tie into the other stories? How is Shakespearean director Kenneth Branagh handling the material and is Chris Hemsworth the right fit for Thor? Read on and find out.

We all know that the events in Iron Man (and possibly Iron Man 2) take place before The Incredible Hulk. How does Thor fit into this time-line?

In terms of time-line, Thor is set after The Incredible Hulk. In the script we make mention of gamma radiation and one of the scientist characters, I think Stellan Skarsgard's Professor Ford recalls, “There was brilliant scientist (Bruce Banner). He was a genius with gamma radiation and somehow S.H.I.E.L.D. made him disappear.” So Thor's story would take place after The Incredible Hulk.


How does Thor figure into The Avengers? Does he become a full-fledged member of the team?

Basically, at the end of the movie, Thor makes mention to Clark Gregg's character Agent Coulson that his kingdom of Asgard and S.H.I.E.L.D. are on the same side and whenever they need his help, he will be there to assist them in battle. It does leave it open, with Thor basically saying “When you need me and you want to assemble a team, I’m down.” So, this is obviously pre-Avengers, post-Incredible Hulk.

So at this point are the Avengers already “assembled” like when Tony Stark told General Ross (William Hurt) at the Incredible Hulk's conclusion: “We're putting a team together.”?

At this point, Nick Fury and Tony Stark would have already started amassing people.


How is an actor and director as deeply rooted in the world of Shakespeare like Kenneth Branagh handling comic book material like Thor?

Branagh is fantastic. The guy is a passionate director. He makes everything and everyone important, no matter how small their role in the production is. He's keeping the material very close to the comic. The tone is – even the way the stuff looks – is darker. So it’s cool. Iron Man was cool because it was light, but not too light like the Batman movies that Tim Burton made and it was not as heavy as say, Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight. Iron Man was the perfect comic book movie because it was the light and the dark sides sort of mixed together. Thor balances the same things as well. It plays the light side with the stuff on Earth and then the heavier side with what happens up in Asgard and the battle that occurs. Marvel has done a really good job of trying to blend what they need to have a successful movie and what they need to keep all the fan boys happy. They're doing an excellent job.


Chris Hemsworth in the lead role of Thor.

He’s not only f*ing great, but a cool guy and about as normal a guy that you’ll ever meet. I know everyone is saying that. Chris had auditioned for another movie, but failed to win the part, yet he was very open and self-deprecating about it. He even said “Yeah, yeah. I auditioned for that. But apparently I was pretty terrible.” He’ll have that sort of attitude about it and kind of make fun of himself. “Yeah, I pretty much stunk the joint up when I went in and auditioned for that.” He’s got that kind of self deprecating humor. Very, very cool dude. He is a perfect Thor. The guy’s a physical specimen. He’s 6’4’’/6’5’’ and he’s built like a brick house. He looks like he came down off that Rainbow Bridge and was ready to rock.


What about the look of Thor's costume and the iconic hammer?

Surprisingly, the costume looks amazing. We could tell early on from the production sketches of costumes and sets that this was going to be something good. It’s just beautiful and the designers really took it to heart. If you look at some of the more recent Thor comics that are out now, the tone and the costuming is that. It’s basically, the way you read the comics now, they’re updated the way they are now and that’s how the costumes are. I think everyone is going to be very, very happy. Nothing looks cheesy or cheap. Everything looks like it’s real. Everything looks like it came from that period. And everything looks right on all the actors. Nothing looks stupid. I guess that’s the best word. It's just jaw-dropping even to the Marvel executives.


What’s funny is that when you see these Marvel executives you immediately think, “You guys are young. You guys read the comics?” They're involved in everything and they’re the first ones to make a joke. So they would be like, “Yo, that hammer is ****ing, wrong”, because they know that they have this fan base and they have to respect them. They know that those comics are their bread and butter. They took a big gamble with Marvel Studios and it’s paying off because they pay attention to detail. And not only that, it’s their movie watching experience. They want to watch it, too and not be distracted by how bad the costumes are. So they really paid attention to it and they made it look flawless. It just looks flawless when you watch it.SOURCE (http://www.latinoreview.com/news/thor-exclusive-marvel-secrets-from-insiders-part-i-9425)

"At this point, Nick Fury and Tony Stark would have already started amassing people."

You would think that the invasion mentioned in the movie synopsis would have to touch on this fact and be a great point for SHIELD to get involved. With Cap coming out later in the year, I wonder how they'll link Thor & Cap to keep the flow going?

[Silvermoth]

What wonderful news! Especially about Hemsworth and how Thor ties in with the Avengers.

[Aesop Rocks]

Reading that interview has given me happy thoughts for the rest of the day.

[Kent]

It struck me as odd that the "inside source" referred to Burton's Batman flicks as too light.

[Brian Braddock]

In context, I read that to read that Batman '89 was more or less considered by the interviewer to be out and out fantasy, as opposed to film's that have more of a grounding in 'reality'.

[Brian Braddock]

Gee, what a surprise - a double post. Didnt see that coming...............

[RetroNaz]

Jane = "first" love? Really? Not enough to dampen my excitement for the film overall, but that doesn't sound too good...

Hmm interesting change from the first draft.

Perhaps Jane teaches Thor to love and humbles him, enough to realise that he does have feelings for Sif and it becomes the OC with a love triangle :hehe:

[Canis Sapiens]

Bah! :cmad: They didn't answer the most important question: the size of Mjolnir's handle.











J/K - Awesome article! :woot:

These are exciting times. I have to pinch myself everytime time i think about the fact that i'm about to see the Marvel U come together on the big screen. Never would have thunk it a possibility while reading my comics as a child. Just awesome

Awesome article. It is information like this and seeing the new trailer for IM2 that really gives me comfort with regard to Cap, while some are starting to fret. Marvel is really taking great care with these characters and the way they are depicted on screen, they will do no less for Cap. Thus far everything we have seen from IM2 and heard about Thor leads me to believe that these movies will be nothing short of spectacular.

[DocHoliday]

Thanks Vartha! It looks quite cool.

[protocida]

Great news. Thor is the Marvel Studios movie I'm looking more foward to after Iron Man 2, and it sounds incredible based on Latino Review's snippets. The Avengers will kick some serious ass. :woot:

[Son of Coul]

Holy ****, awesome stuff- especially the timeline things with TIH referenced and everything.

[Antonello Blueberry]

So, journalists already were on the Manhattan Beach set. Lucky bastards!

[DocHoliday]

Yup...where's MTV breaking embargo when you need them. They still haven't cleared the Iron man 2 set report. fully.

[marcvader]

I'm cool with the Coipel look minus the sleeves.

[SpiderByte]

Since filmings started, we should be at least maybe getting some Concept Art soon. Then we'll get a set pic, or an official release.

[DocHoliday]

You'd think they would want to beat the paparazzi pics from the locations shooting. I suspect they will. My prediction and I have no reason to say this. First April issue of EW.

[Son of Coul]

Well they pretty much finished up shooting indoors at studios and are moving onto outdoors stuff, no? I assume that stuff was done intentionally and they want to avoid the first pics being leaks so if I had to guess I'd say in a month or two we'll have the first pic, likely of Thor in costume.

That's what I am thinking like a marvel movie issue of EW or Empire. They'll be pics from Thor and interviews as well as IM2 material.

[batman44]

This movie is sounding so good that when I was typing in my username to log in, I wrote "Thor".

Seriously, everything I've heard about this film has basically put a smile on my face.

[Spidey-Quad]

Oh and, if Marvel doesn't want the first pictures of Thor to be leaked cellphone images. They better release those set pictures, and soon.

Are you threatening Disney (Mickey laugh)? You listen and listen good. If you don't want a certain black mouse paying you a house call with a case of "whup arse" you'd better be a bit more careful with those threats (more Mickey laughs).:o

They finished shooting the Asgard scenes in the studio. Moving to Santa Fe does not mean they are just shooting outdoors, it just means they are shooting the Earth scenes. I'm sure plenty of scenes will be shot indoors on location as opposed to just all exterior scenes. Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings haven't even started shooting. Surely some will be outdoors, and we just need to cross our fingers we get a few set pics. Frankly I'm shocked there hasn't been a picture of Hemsworth since December. Not even in costume, just period. By the way, the pictures of him from December are on the Red Dawn set, and he has short hair, in case anyone was wondering if he grew it out for Thor.

[FlawlessVictory]

Seriously, everything I've heard about this film has basically put a smile on my face.

No doubt. I'm expecting great things from this movie.

[Pac-Master]

Those spoilers sound awesome. Hulk reference FTW!

[Raiden]

Marvel has done a great job keeping a lid on photos for this movie, perhaps too well. :(

[Aztec]

Very exciting information there. I'm glad to see TIH still getting referenced. It should be interesting to see how all of the characters tie together. I hope the first Thor pic isn't too far away.

[Vartha]

Isn't that how Thor does it in the comics? He always comes to earth when needed.

Kind of, that was a messed up theme too if you ask me.
Thor's banished too earth to teach him humility and some years later after Thor knows who he really is, Odin and Sif start reacting in an opposite fashion saying he spends too much time on Midgard with the mortals. :doh:

[Keyser Soze]

OMG Marvel are promising us pics by the end of the month! :awesome:

[Vartha]

I quite agree, tho I think some people are avoiding Thor related boards so they can take in the experience of the movie all at once.

[Cosmic]

I'm starting to feel the hype for this movie. I'm extremely interested at this point.

[FaT_tONle]

This movie is sounding so good that when I was typing in my username to log in, I wrote "Thor".

Seriously, everything I've heard about this film has basically put a smile on my face.

Yeah I may sig that one shortly, since I have a pretty similar sig to other posters as it is. Not quite the winner I was looking for though...

As far as this timeline stuff, interesting stuff with the Banner references, but I don't get why Marvel has to be so secretive about the Hulk in their universe. Like the SHIELD is this massive MIB coverup agency, which is what they should be, but I figured Hulk would be pretty established. Turns out they didn't even name him until half way through TIH. Makes me wonder how they will sell the other fantastical elements of the Marvel world later on. Was the SHIELD also covering those things up? How will they incorporate the X-men universe if we ever see the light of day? Eventually it will start getting less and less believable, but hopefully not too unbelievable.

[RetroNaz]

I like to think that this realistic approach they are taking will slowly develop into a world where technology and magic and gods can all exist without there being any issues. They are probably careful how they approach the more fantastical elements.

[Iceman]

The same EW magazine that bashed a possible Thor movie about 3 years ago?
I remember buying it, it was a marvel issue. I only bought it because Thor was in the article. Much to my disappointment it was negative, I clearly remember reading audiences won't connect to it, and it could be really silly.

[Spider-Vader]

very cool... Latino Review delivers again! The best part is that the title says "Part I"!

Still hoping for a Renner Hawkeye cameo.

Ditto. Hopefully all of the 'Hurt Locker' love is boosting his chances. I think he could make a great Clint.

[Chewy]

In Part II of our exclusive secrets with a Marvel Insider, we find out other things like what really went down with Stuart Townsend, some other cool S.H.I.E.LD and Stark Industries tidbits.

Check us out tomorrow when our insider talks about Captain America and The Avengers.

And so, without further ado...

Was Samuel L. Jackson telling the truth when he said that he doesn't appear in Thor?

Yes. In the official script version, he is not. That could change in time though. He wasn't in the original script of Iron Man either but they changed it late in the game. The same can be said for Robert Downey Jr. In fact the only cameo of great significance is from Stan Lee.

Besides Thor what other Asgardians from the comics are a part of the story.

Idris Elba, who did some great work on HBO's The Wire plays Heimdall the keeper of the Rainbow Bridge that connects Asagard to Earth. He basically controls who crosses that bridge and comes in and out of Asgard. Basically, there are nine realms. Earth is one of the realms and Asgard is another. Heimdall watches over the nine realms from his observatory. What’s great is, the Asgardians are supposed to be Norse gods, but a black actor was chosen to be one of them. Someone like Idris Elba is a leading man type of guy and is nice to have. Some people may think “Oh, he shouldn’t be black,” but Elba has a strong presence and it’s really good casting.

The same could be said for Hogun, who’s also a Norse god, but in the comics actually looks Mongolian. In the film he's played by a Japanese actor. That's what's so great about Branagh, this is a multi-cultural cast and he doesn't care because wants the best people. There's even a Hispanic actor playing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Branagh doesn't care what an actor's nationality he, he just wants the best performers and treats everyone, big and small like they're important. The film has a pretty relaxed set too, because everyone here are professionals and know what jobs they have to do. And then there's Stuart Townsend.

What's the real story about Townsend's abrupt exit from the production?

It appears he wasn't happy with the limited screen-time of his character Fandral. There was friction with him from the very beginning as far back as his screen test which he basically blew off. He wasn't the first choice of either Marvel or the film's producers to begin with, but when they brought him in they liked him. They thought he did a good job. It looks like the fact that his character doesn't have a pivotal role in the movie made him sort of slack off and say, “Well, f**k this movie. I’m not the lead, so who *****ing cares?” They say he had a similar attitude when he made The Lord of the Rings ten years ago and look how that turned out. They replaced him with Viggo Mortensen and the rest is history. He failed to realize the movie is not called Fandral, it's called Thor. The movie’s not about him. Its surprising, because he was one of the longest working actors on the project yet he still acts like a diva. There was an incident where he had a costume test and blew that off. The studio had people working under deadlines fly in to meet him and he showed up six hours late. When they complained, his response was something like “Oh, well could we just do it now?” Talk about arrogance. Townsend's been replaced by another actor named Joshua Dallas and he's just come from doing Red Tails near San Francisco where the rumors of George Lucas directing re-shoots on the film are not rumors, they're true.

George Lucas is actually directing Red Tails?

Lucas is directing the re-shoots for the film's director Anthony Hemingway. This is his first feature since has only really directed TV including episodes of The Wire. They've already completed a great deal of shooting in Prague. Most of the CGI work was all done at Industrial Light and Magic, but Lucas doesn't appear too happy with some of the footage. He’s directing the re-shoots so I don’t think that bodes well for the director of the movie. But it’s George Lucas, he's not really that happy unless he’s doing it himself. He’s just that guy who feels, “You know what? I could do better”, and always likes to jump in. Not always to great results, but he likes to have the weight on his shoulders and be like, “All right. I’m gonna show you guys how to do it.”

Have they completed any visual f/x work on Thor like Red Tails?

Some. All the work they are doing now is the difficult stuff like the Asgard sequences. The sound stages for that have already been completed and they are beautiful. They’re shooting it out at Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach and the sets they've built are six stories high. You’re inside a gigantic building and you’re like, “This is unbelievable. I can’t believe that people physically built this.” It looks like something that’s ancient and from another world. They really did a great job. Natalie Portman should be heading there soon, she just finished Black Swan and has just started shooting her scenes in New Mexico.

What about Tom Hiddleston as Loki the film's main villain?

He's great and what's funny is that Tom had actually come in to audition for Thor but he’s very tall and very thin. Kind of lanky. Marvel said, “No”, but then it came up that maybe he should audition for Loki and he apparently put himself on tape and was amazing. He had also worked with Kenneth Branagh already in London. This movie is as much an origin story for Loki as it is for Thor and he's not only the hero's nemesis but his brother. How do you deal with a situation like that where the very person who is trying to destroy you is your adopted brother? In the script, Thor is basically banished to Earth because he’s arrogant and proud and must learn what it is to live among mortals. And while the cat’s away, the mouse will play. While he's gone, Loki starts discovering things about himself, including his desire to be all powerful. He wants to be as well loved as Thor and that jealousy starts creating these complications. “Why can’t I be the ruler? Why am I always in his shadow?” So he starts developing those feelings while Thor's gone. It’s a very good script with pretty much half of the movie in Asgard and the other half on Earth. I think people will be pleased with the way it unfolds.

When might we finally see a teaser trailer?

Probably at Comic Con. The scheduled release is date is May 6, 2011. I think that’s the actual release date, handed down from Marvel. They could put it in front of the new Iron Man 2 movie, but that's this May and a little too soon. Marvel wants to release the film exactly a year after Iron Man 2. The release is almost 365 days later. And then Captain America in July 2011 and The Avengers will be the following year, 2012. That’s what they’re trying to do, line them up like that. May of every year, there will be a new Marvel movie out.

Are there any Easter eggs or hidden clues in Thor?

No, in terms of the script, it’s pretty straight forward. It’s more through the dialogue, here and there that they’ll say something. Everything’s obviously connected, like every piece of S.H.I.E.L.D. tech has the Stark Industries logo on it. Even on a pen or computer screens in the movie. You’ll notice it on the computer screen’s upper left-hand corner, everything says Stark Industries. You already know that we have a deal with Tony Stark, which you kind of got from the first Iron Man's conclusion. Now you know S.H.I.E.L.D. is officially in league with him. And you’ll probably see stuff like that in Captain America or The Avengers on a S.H.I.E.L.D. heli-carrier.SOURCE (http://www.latinoreview.com/news/thor-exclusive-marvel-secrets-from-insiders-part-ii-9438)

Tomorrow is Cap and The Avengers!

[josh77]

Kinda off topic but does anyone know on what day during the comic con 2010 the Marvel Movie Panels will be presented? Because there are are only two days left on sale which are sunday and thursday. Help appreciated. :yay:

[Slick]

Man I can't wait for that news and I'm happy with how their dealing with Loki's story arc in the movie.

[Silvermoth]

There's even a Hispanic actor playing a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

That must be who Adriana Barraza is playing.

[Webhead2006]

nice article from latinoreview. Sound good. Also yea they start filming in new mexico next week i believe. So maybe if they are shooting any outdoor scenes we might get lucky with some exterior set photos. Hopefully marvel will release first official still of the thor costume before any leaks happen.

[b4thetrailercom]

Supposedly they start filming in Galisteo, New Mexico this Monday. They have built a town as many of you probably know. Not sure how many of you are in the Galisteo area but this would be a great opportunity for pics. Were going to work it hard for pics after Monday. If you have any information come to beforethetrailer.com, or email at admin@beforethetrailer.com

[Aesop Rocks]

They...they built a TOWN?!

[Vartha]

ooo Broxton Maybe?

[Keyser Soze]

Good interview. I like what I'm hearing about Loki. It seems that the most interesting aspect of the first draft - Loki's Macbeth-like descent into villainy - has been carried over into the movie. Loki's the character I'm actually most looking forward to.

I'm also happy to hear that, when pressed to talk about a non-Thor standout, the insider instantly names Idris Elba as Heimdall. I'm confident that Elba has the acting chops to silence the naysayers, and this guy talks about how Elba is a leading role calibre actor, yet he plays the role in a way that supports the leads.

Speaking of supporting the leads (or not), this confirms what we all suspected, that Stuart Townsend is an egotistical little douche who can't help but shoot himself in the foot. Good riddance, I say.

[Canis Sapiens]

Yeah, I heard they built a town. You know what that means? Security is gonna remain tight. So, no spy pics. Probably. :csad:

[Chewy]

I'm sure with all this hype for Captain America, Marvel is going to take full advantage of it and release some set pictures, or let Jaimie tweet one of the many pictures she had to of taken.

[Canis Sapiens]

Helicopters :yay:


That would be good but... Mjolnir would take them down in a second. :oldrazz:

[piccolo]

After reading the part about Townsend, it makes sense now why he was so convincing as the uber-arrogant Dorian Grey in LOXG. He looked so natural in the role.

I wonder how similar Asgard will look to Rivendall from Lord of the Rings?

[b4thetrailercom]

News coming out usually is followed by concept art, as far as I know. They did it for Green Lantern, and that was even before filming commenced!

Hopefully we'll get some pics within the next month.

[E.Brock]

What is Thor going to sound like?

[TheFuture]

I would almost put money on Townsend thinking the role was bigger than it actually is.

Said this months ago, the article basically confirmed this, what a tool.

[SpiderByte]

What is Thor going to sound like?

Probably a bit gruff (not Nolan Batman gruff, though) but also with an....Asgardian accent.

Whatever the hell that is.

[Aesop Rocks]

No accents or old english.

[TheFuture]

No old english? So no utterances of the likes of "Nay"? Aww. :csad:

I really hope so. I would think there would be some kind of reference to the Thorspeak. lol

[Webhead2006]

yea they said awhile ago it wasnt going to be old english/shaskpeare talk. but i bet a few old english lines will probably get muttered somewhere during the film.

[hugekent]

So he's speaking in an American accent or what? Surely there'll be some Nays and Thees?

[Vartha]

Well the Recent Thor isn't speaking the old english.
JMS modeled the new Asgardian speak after the way Agagorn spoke in Return of the King.
Basically there are no contractions. "Can't" will be "can not" and so on.

[CASTER]

CLASSIC THOR is a must!

This film will be EPIC!

No complaints about the 'I would have words with thee' - especially if those words have 'Ultron' in front of them; but I've never understood the 'I see thee nay' thing - I mean, surely it would be 'I say to thee Nay'?

'I say you no' doesnt make any sense.

[Doctor Jones]

Yeah, we can't confuse the audience with the dialogue.

[dpm07]

Epic Win. Thor>Hulk anyday

In order to show how truly powerful the Hulk is in the Avengers film, it will be necessary to show Thor job to the Hulk. Same thing happened in the animated Ultimates when Thor jobbed to the Hulk, and also in Hulk vs. Thor animated film. The only one who was shown to hold their own with the Hulk was Wolverine in the Hulk vs.

I'd like to see Thor give a fair showing of himself, but I don't see it happening.

[Lobo]

the fact that Wolverine did beter against the Hulk than Thoir is ludicrous.

[Vartha]

No complaints about the 'I would have words with thee' - especially if those words have 'Ultron' in front of them; but I've never understood the 'I see thee nay' thing - I mean, surely it would be 'I say to thee Nay'?

'I say you no' doesnt make any sense.
Well that's what was written, it doesn't make sense translated. 13 year Renaissance Faire Vet. here. We'd sit around and Translate todays saying into Shakespearean, like "How's it hangin?" lol

[Vartha]

the fact that Wolverine did beter against the Hulk than Thoir is ludicrous.

Yeah I didn't like it either, that's another piece of CRUD I don't like.
I used to love Wolverine years ago then he was appearing every where he didn't belong.
Like now I heard they're trying to say logan's immortal. that's a bunch whooy and eveyone know's it.

I can see the Excuse Hulk was being controlled by Loki giving him the smarts to control the power, and Loki can fight physically he's not all sorcerer.

RIGHT, I think years ago it was one of the reasons Thor wasn't a big seller because not a whole lot of people know old English, and didn't want to spend longer time trying to figure out what Thor was saying. Not everyone had a king james bible lol

I'd like to see Thor give a fair showing of himself, but I don't see it happening.

It depends on what Marvel's plans are. If they want to build a standalone franchise around the Hulk then yes, he should (only just, by the skin of his teeth) get the better of Thor. Because if they are going to build a franchise around the Hulk, it should be in order to show the sheer unstoppable threat that the Hulk is.

On the other hand, if Marvel feel that after TIH's poor performance in the box office that a franchise around the Hulk isn't viable then I don't see why the Hulk should be built up as that much of a threat in The Avengers. He is in reality going to be a secondary villain, with a primary villain pulling his strings. They are going to have to make quick work of the Hulk in order to focus on taking down the primary villain.

Ideally I think a teaser should just involve a load of heavy and intimidating thunder and lightning. Then finally, Mjolnir comes flying at the screen. A teaser that would take minimum effort, but one that would be done quick enough to place with IM2. :oldrazz:

In reality though since the general audience know jack all about Thor, the teaser is going to have to really wet the appetite. It will undoubtedly involve actual footage from the film, it wouldn't get away with a TDK like teaser.

[SpiderByte]

Um.

How could a Thor trailer possibly resemble that?

At all?

[Sawyer]

SDCC Teaser...December Trailer....April Trailer....June release.

Calling it now.

You better be right. :argh:

[Microchip]

[QUOTE=TheFuture;18156152]On the other hand, if Marvel feel that after TIH's poor performance in the box office that a franchise around the Hulk isn't viable then I don't see why the Hulk should be built up as that much of a threat in The Avengers.QUOTE]
Hulk didn't do that poorly though, it made 110 million over budget worldwide, and that's having to deal with being a reboot coming so soon after the pretty average Hulk 2003. Plus, if Avengers is good then interest in the character will go up anyways. They won't just kill off the franchise.

[Avengers-Report]

SDCC Teaser...December Trailer....April Trailer....June release.

This sounds very reasonable, very similar to Iron Man 2.

[Aesop Rocks]

they'll do the same with cap, if its not delayed.

[Sebastos]

Loving all the info we're getting, thanks Chewy. :up:

[Webhead2006]

totally they could do more hulk after avengers and norton seems to be in a much better standing with marvel studios now then he was when hulk came out in 08. So its likely they could do more hulk after avengers.

[JasonWood2010]

I have a feeling the AVENGERS may have a HUGE Markting campaign like The Dark Knight...

[Webhead2006]

they would definately have a huge marketing for it.

[Iceman]

Should be a very easy film to market with all the big guns in it!

[Brian Braddock]

I hope there's a teaser with IM2 similar to this...

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DxgLwrW9h_A&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DxgLwrW9h_A&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Argueably the best teaser of all time. :up:

I remember the sheer excitement that teaser generated. You saw that, even though it didnt have a scrap of footage from the actual movie, and you just knew that something special was coming; A real event.

Um.

How could a Thor trailer possibly resemble that?

At all?

Simple.

Imagine a teaser taking the similiar formula, only instead of following the production of a Terminator, we see the birth of Mjolnir being forged by the dwarf blacksmith Etri; then seeing a well muscled arm grabbing the handle of the hammer with the last shot being a sillouette of Thor thrusting the hammer in the air and summoning lightning towards it.

[Vartha]

I don't know Brian, april 2nd is awfully close for all that. Altho the CGI company has probably been busy since they Chose Chris to play Thor.
I would expect something at SDCC, but I see something very simple, and there's alot that can be used with Thor. I'm interested in hearing what type of music they'll be using as well.

[Vartha]

I have a feeling the AVENGERS may have a HUGE Markting campaign like The Dark Knight...

I would hope so. Look at what Disney did with there latest film. They had a whole half hour on tv promoting their movie.
Avengers will be huge, even with the base Heroes it'll be a huge under taking.

[JasonWood2010]

They will have completed filming for THOR just in time for Iron Man 2. It only makes sense that they have an atleast 2 minute teaser for it. But my gut says 1 minute 30 seconds runtime....

[Aesop Rocks]

They have enough shots to give us a teaser now, to be honest.

[Doctor Jones]

It depends what they shot first. Everything is shot out of order. We don't know if there is enough for some dialogue or acion or finished special effects. Though no doubt they have been working on it even before filming, so there could be finished stuff. I mean Branagh and Chris have been on this for a year now. Plenty of time to do some effects work.

[Carlo Comicus]

Joe Gatt posted this on imdb boards:

There are so many wrong credits on the THOR imdb page page it's unbelievable!! Take it from an actor on the show...there are several names who aren't involved with the production at all and also several extra's (uncredited / rumored etc...) that have credited themselves falsely. Happens all the time....Marvel won't change anything just yet because it confuses the fans and keeps them guessing....but it'll all get cleaned up soon. As an actor it makes me sick to see people putting themselves up just for publicity when they haven't anything to do with the show...there are several out there that only have 'Uncredited' roles...all lies and invention....if you check through you'll find out who they are......
...But all you need to know is that Ken is directing, Tony and 'most' of the cast are awesome, the story is great and you are all gonna love the design and look. I can't wait!!

[Aesop Rocks]

It's IMDB.

Thor started shooting in January, they're wrapping shooting in April. Given that they've already filmed pratical, non-CGI needed shots, I see it being like this. Teaser with Iron Man 2, SDCC CGI Trailer, months of dread and waiting, December teaser release, months of dread, full trailer in april, release in June.

[Chewy]

Release in June?

We'll probably get a teaser at SDCC, another teaser in November, the full trailer in February and a second trailer in April.

[Parker Wayne]

Thats I why I never go to IMDB for new film info.

I can see this too.

Co-signed. I could totally picture this as I was reading it.

[Webhead2006]

sure it would be great if we do have a teaser with im2 with actual footage. But it all counts on how much they have ready to go and with some basic sfx work. i would more likely expect to see a teaser with no real footage form the film attached with im2. Then of course comic con real footaged screened there. Then later in year first full teaser trailer, then 2 or so full trailers,and tv spots and then the movie next may.

[marvel_freshman]

Not that exciting, but something...

So it's say to say she started filming with, along with Natalie Portman.

If I want to believe Deadpool will come out in 2011, then goddamit I will believe Deadpool will come out in 2011!

(Note: That was a joke, because IMBD says DP will be in 2011)

I think his point was, he hopes the trailer is as "cool" as T2

Hey SpyderByte, I love your new avatar!

BIRDS(Am. slang): A large amount (usually a brick or cake) of cocaine.


I sure hope not. Otherwise, she is hanging out with the wrong crowd :dry:.

[RetroNaz]

Do we know who Kat will be playing yet? Or is it still speculation?

[ImWithTeamConan]

I thought it was proven she was going to be Jane's friend, a fellow student.

[RetroNaz]

Ahh cool, thanks mate :up:

[Webhead2006]

well since shooting has started in new mexico now, hopefully someone will score a set photo if they are doing any outside location stuff.

[SpiderByte]

Even a blurred picture of the costume would be fine, just to get a sense of the type of suit their using.

[ImWithTeamConan]

Maybe a leaked blurry spy pic would force their hand in releasing a studio pic.

[SpiderByte]

Indeed.

If only someone here lived close to where their shooting...dammit.

[TheCorpulent1]

I can understand holding back pics of the costume until an official unveiling, but it'd be really nice to get anything. I mean, we don't even know what Chris Hemsworth looks like after his training regimen. Throw us a bone, for pity's sake. :csad:

[SpiderByte]

A left boot will do.

[Spidey-Quad]

I guess Baughn is no Favuare when it comes to internet updates. Sorry about ripping their names up but me bad spell her.
