The Official Thor News and Set Pics Thread

[ImWithTeamConan]

I have this feeling Hemsworth's physique is going to put every other actor-superhero body to shame.

[Webhead2006]

yea i would be happy to even just have a picture of a set location and some film equipment trucks or what not. hopefully since they are now at the new mexico shoot something will pop up.

[JasonWood2010]

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

:hehe:

[Vartha]

A left boot will do.
I'd settle for a hand holding a leather wrapped handle showing nothing else

[Green Ghost]

They are keeping the shooting a secret really good, Green Lantern has started shooting yesterday and there are already pics of Ryan Reynolds with ring!

Jesse Johnson-Stunt Man

Doesn't say anything about the movie though.

AM: But you still have your stunt work all the time.

JJ: Absolutely I've been working on "Thor" out in New Mexico.

Thanks for the heads up GG.
Looked it up kind of difficult to see but at least you guys got something already.

[Ipodman]

Maybe the teaser trailer will be something like Iron man where they just show the helmet.

[JasonWood2010]

This is amazing. I remember back when the DARK KNIGHT was being filmed, people managed to get PRE PRODUCTION Pics of Heath Ledger, but we dont even have a blurry pic of anything. :doh::doh:

[Ipodman]

Anyone who tries to hunt for Thor pics will probably end up finding pics for the animated movie instead lol

[Khemik@L]

They are keeping the shooting a secret really good, Green Lantern has started shooting yesterday and there are already pics of Ryan Reynolds with ring!

As much as I wanna see something this is probably a good thing. Cause it means when Marketing finally kicks off there's gonna be a freeding frenzy (well for us geeks anyways). And probably among the general audience also since the cast is so powerful, they will just see this movie coming out of no where.

[SpiderByte]

GL just started filming and it's already got set pics.

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/ponyboyzero/DSC07188.jpg

And nothing from Thor.

[marvel_freshman]

I know this guy who has a set pic from Mexico, but he says he can't post it yet cause hes "awaiting permission".

[marvel_freshman]

Guy we will start getting Thor set pics this Month, now that were on location, and Green Lantern is sorta gonna be Thor's competion.

[davince338]

I know this guy who has a set pic from Mexico, but he says he can't post it yet cause hes "awaiting permission".

Eh, he has my permission. :woot:
So now he can upload the pics.

[SpiderByte]

Spy pics need permission?

Isn't the fact that they are spy pics the fact that they don't HAVE permission?

[Khemik@L]

Guy we will start getting Thor set pics this Month, now that were on location, and Green Lantern is sorta gonna be Thor's competion.

PLEASE BE TRUE!! PLEASE BE TRUE!! :awesome:

[Khemik@L]

Spy pics need permission?

Isn't the fact that they are spy pics the fact that they don't HAVE permission?

Maybe he is not a spy but part of the crew.

[SpiderByte]

Then he legally can never put it up, since he'd need to speak directly with the company, not just the filmmakers. It's property of Marvel, so he'd need to talk to someone high up.

[R_Hythlodeus]

GL just started filming and it's already got set pics.

wow.....

a ring...

:whatever:

[Khemik@L]

OK! Well being a spy I guess he does want Marvel to pull a 'Kirby Estate' on him. And since he wanna remain sue-less its best to get permission. It is a sort of unofficial Marketing at no cost to Marvel so they probably will consider it depending on if the pic suits their liking.

No spoilers but this lady did a 2 month internship on Thor and blogged about it during her time on set. Gives some insite on how things work at Marvel.

[topdog1]

Guy we will start getting Thor set pics this Month, now that were on location, and Green Lantern is sorta gonna be Thor's competion.

Green Lantern is going to flame out fast. Honestly, it won't be much competition for anyone.

[TheCorpulent1]

What makes you say that? I thought people were generally pretty excited for it, plus DC made an incredibly smart move putting Geoff Johns in control of creative directions for the whole company, which now includes their films division. I mean, I couldn't personally care less about Hal Jordan, but Johns loves him and he's proven that he can make a lot of other people love him too, if GL's sales are any indication.

[Green Ghost]

wow.....

a ring...

:whatever:

It is THE ring :cwink:
Its like you would see Chris Hemsworth with the hammer...

But I really hope there are also some Thor pics soon, because I am really curious about the costumes!

[Green Ghost]

What makes you say that? I thought people were generally pretty excited for it,...

I think it was just the classic DC/Marvel rivalry thing...It is always the same when a DC and a Marvel movie are released in the same year, it was really annoing with Batman Begins/ Fantastic Four and The Dark Knight/ Iron Man!
Looks like some fans think that they have to dislike and denounce the rival **************...but I was really hoping that it wouldn't come up this time.
Why can't these movies coexist for some fans?
I am a DC guy, but I am also interested in the Marvel movie-universe and especially Thor and I will see both Green Lantern and Thor 2011 in cinema!

[TheCorpulent1]

In the case of The Dark Knight and Iron Man, they were both great movies and they both did really well both commercially and critically. I think that's the best-case scenario. I may personally skip Green Lantern until it comes out on DVD, but that's because, as I said, I'm not a fan of Hal. Make an Alan or Kyle or even Guy movie and I'd be first in line at the theater. But I'm sure GL will do well; there's a fair amount of mainstream recognition of the character already. More than Thor has, at any rate.

Yeah, it would be perfect if its the same with Green Lantern and Thor! And I think both have the potential to build up succesfull new franchises!

Agreed! I'm a Marvel Guy but Green Lantern is actually on my must see list of movies that year right after Thor and Cap

[Vartha]

Well the advantage Thor has is that he can attrack the LotR type fans that would normally not see a Superhero movie.
I know many many people who work at Renaissance faires that love LotR, Harry Potter type movies but not the superhero movies, but an equal amount are sci-fi fans. We'll have to see I guess.
When I saw Iron-Man there were ALOT of Seniors in the theater. lol

[Chewy]

Liam Hemsworth talks Thor (http://www.accesshollywood.com/dish-of-salt-liam-and-chris-hemsworth-battled-over-thor-role_video_1209123) / Samuel L. Jackson talks Thor (http://www.accesshollywood.com/2010-sundance-film-festival-samuel-l-jackson-maybe-i-am-in-thor_video_1196697)

[Webhead2006]

well we got to remember the first month and a half or so of filming for thor was at marvel studios's studio location all locked up doing what looked to be bulk of the asgard scenes and some battle stuff. So of course we were not going to see anything unless someone working on the show was posting pictures online. Compared to green lantern which officially started production yesterday. They starting with location shoot stuff first. So of course being in an open city filming at a bar its more accessable for people to snap a photo here and there. Since filming is starting up in new mexico i am sure we will probably be seeing something even just an actor walking around or some equipment shortly.

[Khemik@L]

Liam Hemsworth talks Thor (http://www.accesshollywood.com/dish-of-salt-liam-and-chris-hemsworth-battled-over-thor-role_video_1209123) / Samuel L. Jackson talks Thor (http://www.accesshollywood.com/2010-sundance-film-festival-samuel-l-jackson-maybe-i-am-in-thor_video_1196697)

As usual Chewy delivers :highfive:. Man I can't wait to see those Pictures that Liam said he saw. Maybe they are close to releasing something.

[ImWithTeamConan]

Hemsworth training for 8 months!!!! Yes.

I wonder who those five finalists were. I'm assuming Hiddleston and Skaarsgard were among the five.

Not surprised about Jackson, there was that insider who stated that Fury wasn't in the current draft of Thor......yet.

[Chewy]

According to Nikke Finke (http://www.deadline.com/2009/03/those-who-would-play-thor-knowns-unknowns/) those five finalists were Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgård, Liam Hemsworth and Joel Kinnaman.

[JasonWood2010]

Wait didnt Samuel L Jackson sign on for NINE films as Nick Fury? (Iron Man 2, Thor, Captian America, Avengers, and Sequels..) He SHOULD be in Thor as far as im concerned. :huh:

[topdog1]

What makes you say that? I thought people were generally pretty excited for it, plus DC made an incredibly smart move putting Geoff Johns in control of creative directions for the whole company, which now includes their films division. I mean, I couldn't personally care less about Hal Jordan, but Johns loves him and he's proven that he can make a lot of other people love him too, if GL's sales are any indication.

I'm not talking us or the comics community because they have our tickets already in hand. I'm talking about general audiences. Unless Green Lantern turns out to be something completely different, I don't see the subject matter translating in to mass appeal. I hope I'm wrong because the better the big guns do the more different characters will hit the screen. Thor won't be recognized as a typical "superhero" in tights movie.

[topdog1]

Liam Hemsworth as Beta Ray Bill in Thor 3!!!! Come on, it has to happen.

[Darkness Falls]

they'd need to have some cameo for fury you'd think

sheild/stark need to convince thor to join the team

[ImWithTeamConan]

According to Nikke Finke (http://www.deadline.com/2009/03/those-who-would-play-thor-knowns-unknowns/) those five finalists were Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgård, Liam Hemsworth and Joel Kinnaman.


I would've loved to see Hunnam in the role if Hemsworth didn't work out.

[FaT_tONle]

8 months of training for Chris eh? Too bad the Cap actor won't have the same luxury.

[TheCorpulent1]

Not necessarily a terrible thing if it ensures Hemsworth is the biggest dude on screen in Avengers.

[Webhead2006]

yea cap doesnt need to be super doby muscle. we dont need an arnold in his prime as cap. Most of the current names for cap are already in fair shape and given the 3 + months left before filming is scheduled to start with the right training and diet they can easily put on some muscles and look good. As for thor we got to remember shooting was delayed so they had more time between casting and start of production. Compared to cap which has been looking for months now and joe officially only been on production full time since nov after he wraped wolfman.

As for jackson and fury role, they are filming through april/may if i recall. IF he is only doing a small role, That is plently of time for him to come down and shoot a scene or two in a day. or it could happen much later in year if they have to reshoot scenes.

[ImWithTeamConan]

Cap only needs to do a couple shirtless scenes huge that they can film around the end of filming so the actor has time to bulk up. Similar to how Bale was big at the beginning of shooting Batman Begins and then slimmed down.

[Matt Mortem]

I'm somewhat annoyed that we don't have anything at all in terms of pictures. I really want a promo still.

[Vartha]

JMS has Cameo in THOR!

J. MIchael Straczynski did a cameo in Thor? "
One other piece of fun: I did a cameo on the new
Thor movie. It was supposed to be just a ten second deal, but director
Kenneth Branagh decided (against the evidence) that I can act, so he
kept putting me in more bits. We'll see what ends up on the cutting
room floor, but it was a lot of fun."

More from JMS: "J. MIchael Straczynski
I can't comment on the role or anything specific to the story or characters out of deference to the production. All I can say is that it was something drawn from my tenure writing the Thor comic...so basically I've finally disappeared into my own narrative. Knew that would happen one of these days."

[Vartha]

http://www.formspring.me/ScottJohnsonArtThor promotional art coming from Scott Johnson.


What are you working on right now?

Artwork for Thor movie licensing. Merchandise, toy packaging, products, promotional art, etc. And no, I can't answer any movie-related questions, sorry.

[TheCorpulent1]

Drawn from his tenure as writer? I wonder if he plays a small-town innkeeper or waiter that Thor meets while he's stuck as a human.

[SpiderByte]

:awesome:

We should be getting news any time now.

[ImWithTeamConan]

Hmm...I can't see JMS as an Asgardian, so I'm going to say a human being in a Broxton-esque town who has a couple one-liners reacting to Asgardians walking the earth.

[TheCorpulent1]

:awesome:

We should be getting news any time now.
Heh, that's what we've been saying since filming started 2 months ago. ;)

[chamber-music]

According to Nikke Finke (http://www.deadline.com/2009/03/those-who-would-play-thor-knowns-unknowns/) those five finalists were Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgård, Liam Hemsworth and Joel Kinnaman.

Wow impressed Skarsgard and Hunnam made the final list as alot of people mentioned their names on these boards so Marvels casting ideas were not to dissimilar. Never heard of this Joel kinnaman guy.

Charlie Hunnam has been my pick for Iron Fist if a movie ever gets made of that character.

[Vartha]

Drawn from his tenure as writer? I wonder if he plays a small-town innkeeper or waiter that Thor meets while he's stuck as a human.
Well you have to figure they're filming in an area like the JMS Asgard is set. I'm wondering if they added the new Thor ideas to the Protosevich Script. Heimdall would make COMPLETE sense now. The gods stuck in Mortal forms.

[Webhead2006]

cool news of JMS will be nice to see both stan lee and what ever jms cameos are. Should be fun to spot them out lol.

As for pictures and all that. I am sure promoting and all that will be kicking up between may/july come time for im2/comic con. As for set photos and all that. As we all know they started first with studio work. So its alot harder to have things leak out from studio. Compared to location shooting. But since they have now moved to location shooting we are bound to score some images soon of cast walking around, or at least film equipment/ and any real location buildings being used.

[Silvermoth]

Yay! I love hearing about Kenneth Branagh's decisions, he always sounds so forceful and unusual but also really cool. Alot like Thor actually.

I wonder if JMS will be a patient in the hospital Jane Foster works in?

[TheCorpulent1]

I think Jane's still a student in the film.

[JasonWood2010]

What villain is Joseph Gatt playing?

[Webhead2006]

we dont know for sure right now, alot of folks believe its that executioner character.

[RetroNaz]

Or a Frost Giant.

But I really want it to be the Executioner.

[JasonWood2010]

ABSORBING MAN?! Maybe...

[ImWithTeamConan]

All we know is it'll be kick ass.

[Webhead2006]

yea probably not that absorbing man guy, more likely the one i mentioned or as above poster said a frost giant.

[Superhero 101]

hey i was wondering do you think it's possible of getting like a 50 second teaser of Thor with Iron Man 2

[Vartha]

We're hoping for something sooner than that

[ImWithTeamConan]

I'm doubting they have something in front of IM2 but I'd take anything in a heartbeat. I'd take the crap Batman Begins teaser (with ****in pictures at the end of it) at this point.

[JasonWood2010]

Im betting on a 2 minute teaser trailer in front of Iron Man 2....

[Weadazoid]

They are doing a damn good job ....too good for us fans of keeping set pics under wraps.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, the Thor set seems to be like a black hole of news at the moment. All we ever get are tiny mentions in interviews or a comment about one of the other actors on Jaimie's Twitter.

[Aesop Rocks]

Well we DID get those icebergs. :awesome:

[Vartha]

Well we DID get those icebergs. :awesome:
heh yeah we did....ooooooboy:woot:

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, so we know something happens in the movie in a place that's cold. Positively thrilling. ;)

[SpiderByte]

What icebergs?

[TheCorpulent1]

The only "set pic" we've seen from Thor so far is a bunch of big chunks of fake ice at the studio. I don't have the picture myself, but I'm sure someone else will post it again in no time.

[Vartha]

What icebergs?

THESE

[Webhead2006]

i doubt seeing a teaser with actual film footage for im2. i could see just maybe a basic teaser with titles and maybe image of the hammer/lighting. But i dont really seeing any full on footage being seen to comic con. Then maybe that getting leaked online, or the first full trailer with footage likely seen from comic con will be released late fall/early winter.

[SpiderByte]

Ah.

.....

You have considered that those might not be for Thor, right?

[Chewy]

They are for Thor

[SpiderByte]

Can you CONFIRM they are from Thor?

[Chewy]

...

It is a picture of prop iceburgs taken right outside of the building where they were filming Thor.

[Rock Sexton]

They gotta do that idea one poster had on here about the Moljnir being forged and then the camera pans up from it as Thor grabs it and holds up it high .... add in a couple of lightening bolts and you'll get people geeked up.

[Spidey-Quad]

Can you CONFIRM they are from Thor?

Can YOU confirm you are the real SpyderByte?:wow:

[Webhead2006]

yea what ever we get i hope its cool.

[Doctor Jones]

Those icebergs are fantastic. I mean they really have alot of personality. I can't wait to see more set pics!

[Carlo Comicus]

Natalie Portman in Santa Fe. Lucky guy.:cmad:

[JP]

He's a dancer. She's the lucky one. :awesome:

[SpiderByte]

can you confirm you are the real spyderbyte?:wow:

oh no! My secret has been revealed!

[ImWithTeamConan]

Portman's going to be rocking the light brunette hair for Foster apparently.

[Sebastos]

Wow impressed Skarsgard and Hunnam made the final list as alot of people mentioned their names on these boards so Marvels casting ideas were not to dissimilar. Never heard of this Joel kinnaman guy.

Charlie Hunnam has been my pick for Iron Fist if a movie ever gets made of that character.

Yessssss, Hunnam is my favorite choice for Iron Fist aswell. These are the pics I put up in the "Cast the Marvel Universe Thread."


Charlie Hunnam is the ideal choice for Iron Fist. Not only does he look the part, but he is a great actor.

Holy crap, he IS perfect! Great actor, and looks EXACTLY like him.

[JasonWood2010]

im kinda hoping this movie has a "300" feel to it..

LOL. I remember those days.

[Darkness Falls]

lol at the venom reference

[zeptron]

im kinda hoping this movie has a "300" feel to it..

This is ASGARD!

[SpiderByte]

So, all we have for info, apart from casting, script, directing, etc, and the obvious (Thor has a hammer, etc) is:

There are icebergs in it.
Thor has a red cape.

[TheCorpulent1]

No Don Blake.
Jane is still a student.

[E.Brock]

if you blow up the image, you can see venom reflected in the ice

some part of me still decided to look for the hell of it...

[E.Brock]

No Don Blake.
Jane is still a student.

that is good news

[Chewy]

Thor is banished to Earth for being a douche
The script ends with a big Loki/Thor battle, which they shot first
Bruce Banner will be mentioned
Thor will meet up with Agent Coulson from IM/IM2 towards the end
etc

[Aesop Rocks]

Sounds like how Thor joins the Avengers in the 616 universe "just call me when ya need me".

[E.Brock]

Thor is banished to Earth for being a douche


ya thats one way to put it haha

[Avengers-Report]

if you blow up the image, you can see venom reflected in the ice

lol @ venom comment. good times.

[Khemik@L]

No Don Blake.
Jane is still a student.

Jane is a young scientist

[TheCorpulent1]

With a teacher played by Stellan Skarsgard. That counts as a student to me, even if she's a doctoral candidate or whatever.

[TheFuture]

I also got the impression from Latino Review's scoops that Loki will be a kind of tragic character in the sense that we'll understand why he does the things he does.

[Aesop Rocks]

Which I hope is true, Future.

[TheCorpulent1]

Loki's been a tragic figure since the '80s, at least. I remember Simonson portraying him as spiteful and petty more than irredeemably evil, and there are probably even earlier indications to that effect that I'm forgetting. But, of course, if they're going the route of Robert Rodi's Loki and making him almost as much a tragic hero as Lucifer in Paradise Lost, that would be awesome too.

[TheFuture]

They have to be really careful though, they can't make Loki too much of a tragic character, while they can't make Thor too much of a douche. We *should* be routing for Thor in the end. They have to make Loki's plans for Earth really evil and reprehensible, while Thor needs to realise how much of an ass he was to Loki. Basically, when they are fighting, Thor needs to be reluctant.

[TheCorpulent1]

Why would Thor be an ass to Loki? Is that from the first draft? In the comics, Thor was actually the only person who was usually kind to Loki growing up.

[E.Brock]

I definitely see Thor being a borderline bully to Loki in this movie at first, It will go along with the arrogance that they said Thor will display. Loki will obviously deserve it

[TheCorpulent1]

Eh, that'd bug me a bit.

[kedrell]

I've called it before and I'm reiterating it: Agent Phil Coulson will be our Rachel Dawes character in the Avengers. By that I mean, a character who doesn't exist in the comics(so it's ok to kill him off) yet has been built up over several movies so that we the audience will care when he bites it. If you ever saw the last episode of Superman TAS where Darkseid murders Dan Turpin you know where I'm going with this(even though Turpin may have been an actual comic book character).

[TheFuture]

Why would Thor be an ass to Loki? Is that from the first draft? In the comics, Thor was actually the only person who was usually kind to Loki growing up.

I get the impression that Loki is treated as the red (or black in this case :P) headed step child by everyone, including Thor. I'd be disappointed if Loki's issues with Thor were purely born out of jealousy. Especially if Thor is kind to Loki, that would just make Loki an incredibly one dimensional character. I think there is great potential for drama and Thor's quest to redeem himself if Loki is, in a way, justified in his hatred for Thor.

[TheCorpulent1]

How does it make Loki one-dimensional to take his anger over a childhood of being mistreated by everyone but Thor out on Thor himself? I think it makes their relationship a lot more complex than just one brother being a dick to the other so the other brother grows up to be an even bigger dick back.

[TheFuture]

When you put it like that Loki wouldn't sound one dimensional, but I don't know, it doesn't really make sense to make Thor's life hell even though he was the only one who was ever cool to Loki.

[TheCorpulent1]

Sure it does. Loki's been told since day 1 in Asgard that he's different from everyone else and everyone else hates him for it. This instills a deep, subconscious sense of self-loathing. Thor, on the other hand, does everything well and is always praised and everyone loves him (which will, of course, eventually lead to his overblown arrogance as an adult, but as a kid he's still cool). So Loki slides deeper and deeper into this hatred of himself and everyone else while Thor shows Loki nothing but love. He wants to be loved but, because of his self-loathing, he doesn't believe he deserves it and he doesn't really know what to do with Thor's love; so he twists it and resents Thor for it and it turns into a deep and abiding hatred of this dude whom everyone else views as perfect and heaps all this love and praise upon that Loki wants for himself but wouldn't know how to process if he got it. It's a vicious cycle. Loki's tragic, yes, but he's also pretty neurotic. That's why, for all his bluster, he rarely ever does any serious or lasting damage to Asgard or even Thor.

[Webhead2006]

should be interesting to see how they will play with the thor/loki dynamic.

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know, I think the setup from the comics works really well. Plus, it should totally appeal to Branagh's Shakespearean tastes. :)

[TheFuture]

Sure it does. Loki's been told since day 1 in Asgard that he's different from everyone else and everyone else hates him for it. This instills a deep, subconscious sense of self-loathing.

That doesn't make sense, that just means Loki has a feasible reason to be nuts. :cwink: He is non-sensical in his hatred of Thor.

[Chewy]

In the first draft Thor and Loki were cool and Loki only had two moments where he really questioned whether he should be doing what he was doing, although he obviously ended up shoving them off - one as he was about to betray Thor, and one as he was about to betray Frigga

[E.Brock]

Do you think Loki will die by the end of this?

[Chewy]

Seeing as Feige has explicitly stated that Loki is being set up as a multi-franchise villain and Hiddleston signed a big multi-film contract, I'm gonna go ahead and say no

[SpiderByte]

I'm going to say it now:

We will be getting something within the next 45 days. You can hold me to it.

Interesting. I always wished the relationship between Frigga and the boys were clearer. We almost never see or hear anything about her in the comics, and in my experience, about 90% of the few times we do see her, she's leading the goddesses or counseling Sif or otherwise being completely indifferent to her step-children. Sure, they both have other biological mothers, but they've been with Odin since they were kids, which would seem to imply that she pretty much raised them alongside Odin. :huh:

Wait, first draft of what? Did the script leak?

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, like almost a year ago. It was a very, very early draft, long before they did all the rewrites to come up with the script they're currently shooting.

[SpiderByte]

I still want to read it.
Where could I find it? Google?

[SpiderByte]

I found the (old) plot details, and the idea that Loki brainwashes Banner explains SO MUCH. I found it hard to believe that Hulk would be evil, but being under the control of someone else makes much more sense.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's literally taken straight from Avengers #1 back in the '60s. See? The original comics sometimes had good ideas too. :oldrazz:

[SpiderByte]

Indeed they did.

I can't find the script ANYWHERE.
GAAH!

I must add it to my collection (i.e, one other film) of leaked scripts!

[TheCorpulent1]

Someone around here probably still has it saved. I remember a lot of posters read it when it was leaked.

[Vartha]

should be interesting to see how they will play with the thor/loki dynamic.
Well the first draft has Loki looking up to Thor like some little brothers do.
After Loki discovers who he really is he hates all the Asgardians

[Aesop Rocks]

Haha, I totally want to see a picture of Hemsworth swinging his hammer at a paparazzo. :hehe:

Oh God that would be such a great thing to see, even if it's just a tease. :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

Well the first draft has Loki looking up to Thor like some little brothers do.

Loki doesn't know he's a giant?

[Vartha]

not in the beginning of the first draft, soon after tho he discovers the truth as Thor loki and balder are all getting weapons for Asgard from the Dwaves Frost giants appear and viola.


but that was the first draft....You SURE you don't want to read it Corpy? Even if it isn't the exact movie script, it IS a great read.

[Aesop Rocks]

I honestly love the first draft. I just really do like the banishment change they did.

[Keyser Soze]

Yeah, in the first draft Loki is a little different. He is happy and contented with his life and his standing in Asgard, he idolises Thor, and Odin treats him like a son. It is his discovery that his parents were actually Frost Giants and he's spent most of his life living with his father's murderers that begins his turn to the dark side.

That could have changed though, and even if it doesn't I wouldn't say it's too much of a spoiler.

[Aesop Rocks]

I hope it didn't change, I really liked the downfall of Loki in the first draft.

[TheCorpulent1]

I guess I could live with that. That would certainly make Loki more justified and tragic.

And no, Vartha, I don't want to read it. I don't want to take the chance that it wasn't changed much. I want to go into the film with as little knowledge of the plot as possible.

[Vartha]

Well Protosevitch's name is still everywhere the script is mentioned I hope alot of it remains

[Vartha]

I guess I could live with that. That would certainly make Loki more justified and tragic.

And no, Vartha, I don't want to read it. I don't want to take the chance that it wasn't changed much. I want to go into the film with as little knowledge of the plot as possible.


lol Well from the way it's sounding alot changed, from the first draft.
There isn't ANY ANCIENT war started by Thor and a completely different reason YOU might not have liked that does get him sent to earth.

[Vartha]

oh Corpy Remember Reman over on the Immortal Thor boards and his art?
He's been drawing HIS responce to the Hulk/Thor battle...I just started inking it! lol

[MikeFrost]

I'd like to take a peek at that draft please. I'm too curious for my own good.

[Vartha]

I honestly love the first draft. I just really do like the banishment change they did.

Yeah I haven't read the NEW version, but, the First version wasn't right and in away not that much to be banished from Asgard if you ask me.

[Aesop Rocks]

Yeah I haven't read the NEW version, but, the First version wasn't right and in away not that much to be banished from Asgard if you ask me.

I just didn't like how he was sent into the times of the vikings, I liked the story of once he was there, but I still prefer the modern times.

[Aesop Rocks]

Lol!!

[Webhead2006]

yea should be interesting to see how the whole film turns out compared to what ever it was during first draft. These types of films change alot over course of different drafts. heck i got a 3rd draft of back to the future 1 somewhere here at home that has alot of differences from the shooting script of that film.

also cool location shots. Since filming has started up there now. Hopefully we will score something soon of more actors around. And maybe finally a snapshot of hemsworth in or out of costume.

[SpiderByte]

I hope the focus more on Thor's human alter ego in the film.

[Webhead2006]

well since part of the film will be on earth in present time i am sure they will. though from what we know from kevin friege he is just going to be thor all the time, and doesnt have that secret human id of donald blake.

[Sebastos]

Yeah we won't see Blake.

[Aesop Rocks]

I hope not.

[Webhead2006]

kevin friege confirmed it a long while ago. though i bet they will probably make a nod to donald blake somehow in the film. like maybe after he mets jane foster she mentions he should take a human name to he gets his powers back to try and blend in better or something.

[TheFuture]

I take it that most of the film is set on Earth? Assuming this then I imagine that part of Thor's journey to redeem himself will ential having to integrate himself into society. For this they are going to have to give him a fake name, because if he introduces himself to strangers as Thor then his quest to integrate is a bit of a non-runner. Thus, I don't think we'll see a weakly crippled guy, but I can see them using the name "Donald Blake" as Thor's alias on Earth.

It is, although the lightning was photoshopped in.

yea the photo is real, but the lighting i think is photoshoped there. and i believe the film is around 50/50 for earth/asgard.

Marvel Entertainment (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=325227&page=74#) 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 Marvelhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=325227&page=74#) 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 (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=325227&page=74#), young scientist, Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), has a profound effect on Thor, as she ultimately becomes his first love.

There wasn't a Blake in the First script draft and the "humility" teaching worked just as well. Thor doesn't have his godly powers when he's sent to earth in any way you approach it.
The first draft has Thor in the viking era as a Viking farm slave. Ages of thunder had him as a Viking lame Healer almost a CROSS of Blake idea and the Movie Script first draft.

I'm not sure which comics you read, but Blake was never "paralyzed." He had a bum leg. That never really prevented him from doing anything.

nope just lame AR

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, his leg was a little messed up, which is why he required the cane. I don't think we ever actually learned how he got the bum leg (or, I guess, what Odin's cover story for the bum leg was, since Odin created him with it).

[Vartha]

Nope I don't recall a reason for it either Corpy, I just assumed Blake was that way because Thor was healthy and didn't need help with anything where Blake would need help with some things.
Look at Man of War and his mortal form there, it didn't EXPLAIN it completely but you got the idea Thor needed to ask for help.

Can somebody please go man up and risk getting arrested to snag us some juicy photos? LOL

[Manowar]

All this talk about Donald Blake just had something dawn on me. i've been a thor fan for 25 years and never thought about this I don't think. The name Donald is a play on the name Thor. In German I think the name Thor is Donner, like the reindeer. Donner = Donald?

I'm probably not the first to think this, but thought it was cool. I wonder if Stan Lee had that in mind?

Isn't Donald an Irish name?

True. Although, Siegfried and Siegmund were certainly not in need of any kind of help. Both were strong, heroic warriors. Maybe the bit at the end of Man of War was after Siegfriend and Siegmund and Odin decided to try a physical disability as something new.

A commenter on that AICN post linked to above had this to say:

The costumes in Thor are ****ing incredible. Everyone looks absolutely perfect, right down tot he color scheme. ANd its straight up medieval future tech looking. And yes Loki has black straight hair even know Hiddleston is blonde and curly. THor is balls accurate though complete with cape, chain mail arms, the circles going down the front of the torso, and winged helmet.I've seen the costumes, and they did absolutely ****ing nail it. Very Walt Simonson. And I think my reputation as someone very critical of most comic book films procedes me here so I'm not just some excited fanboy. The only thing that is funny about Loki's costume is that while its gold and has the big horns sticking out, the helmet part of it, meaning the part that actually touches his head, kind of looks like a bicycle helmet, I think more so that it would, practically speaking, stay comfortable on the actor and not move around due to the horns. The warriors three are also the same kind of medieval future tech look, a little less traditional than the comic but still very very awesome and the look of each of the actors themselves is ****ing dead on. Ray Stevenson looks especially cool in a chubby suit. Trust me, I think everyone here is going to be very very pleased as Branaugh just more or less adapted the comic. I was surprised at how well the looks work when translated into reality.

Sounds so awesome.

Medievil/future tech? Sounds friggin sweeeeeet. I'm fully confident they won't go Ultimate on us, but that line really interests me. We could be seeing something totally unique and epic.

As long as it looks like the Modern Thor in the regular line we're all fine with it. It's the NEON discs of the ULTIMATES Thor we don't like. We've been saying that for a long time now.

I wasn't really pointing the finger at anyone. It just seemed like the same sort of info (USO show? freakin' organic webshooters?!?) that would send certain types into a frothing rage.

I think I'm still a bit burned out from the Captain America casting and the assorted asshattery that came with it. The Thor boards seem much more relaxed.:yay:

There is a lot less crazy on the Thor boards Whiskey Tango :funny:

Influenced by all those mellow, hippie Asgardians. :D
