Thor News and Pics Thread: Impending Super Bowl Spot Edition - Part 3

[Chewy]

I'm kind of surprised that we haven't gotten a "Thor Film Reviews" thread opened as of yet considering on how close we're getting to the actual premiere.
As soon as reviews show up I'm sure someone will make one

[herolee10]

I'm kind of curious if any passing remark will be made about how one of Odin's trinkets was used as one of the main plot devices for the events that took place in CA? I mean you would think that Odin would be aware of how his things are being used and such, and given that we heard from interviews that Thor is also used naturally as a way of leading into CA's film, it does make me wonder if any reference or comments will be made about it.

[Vartha]

I'll repost them MD

[Vartha]

Man, that would be awesome :word:
Actually we've seen what happens too during that fight in the Trailers and Spots in short glimpses.

[Hurm...]

hehehe Uh Huh riight. :woot:
:awesome:

[BigThor]

I have to say I'm kinda shocked we're this far into the film's marketing campaign and we haven't heard a single line from the Warriors Three. Hopefully they save all Warriors Three related goodness for the film itself :awesome:

That is kind of wierd, we haven't really seen them in action either.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Less than a month away until the release of one of my most personally anticipated superhero films ever. To think, Sam Raimi was once going to direct a Thor film (I'm happy that he didn't because then we wouldn't have gotten an amazing Spider-Man trilogy. Yes, I loved all 3 with 2 being the greatest comic book film of all time, IMO).

Just think, guys, after Thor comes out, we only have to wait a year to see him on screen again, lol.

[Chewy]

Haha, yeah, it's kind of funny how Sam Raimi and Matthew Vaughn were the two directors previously attached to do Thor

[Vartha]

What do you mean?
With all the trailers, you can piece together much of the Destroyer fight. Seems like the Warriors III have hardly been shown at all in ANY of the actual fighting so far.

[Vartha]

I really Liked Rami's Asgardian episodes in Hercules. Vaughn's take would have been interesting.

[BigThor]

True, but I'm kinda glad they're saving most of their footage for the film.

On another note, I hope Thor does some actual melee fighting with The Destroyer. So far they've only shown them fighting from a distance in the trailers & tv spots.

"This is madness."

Even in an out of context spot his delivery kicks ass. Hemsworth is selling me more and more I'm excited to see his performance.

luks pretty awesome especially the spinning part....prologue of the thor game...

[Vartha]

I hope that it's worth taking a gander at.
the shots of Asgard are that's for sure.
SOME of the footage we saw in last year's SDCC footage, but, there's a walkway between a bunch of HUGE statues Like Kirby used to draw that's danged cool!

[Vartha]

About 10 minutes left

[Rock Sexton]

Anyone bother to watch that prologue video on the front page? I still would love to see these movies go full on CGI one day ....

[Iceman]

they better not dissapoint!

[darkslayer101]

love the part where is armor falls off...

[S.A.A.D.]

I love those new scenes of Asgard, thanks Vartha. :up:

[Vartha]

Yeah I loved them too guys. I really Wish I knew what Jack Kirby would have thought of the movie. The more I see of Asgard the more I'm sure he would have loved it.

[Sebastos]

I gotta say I love how they revamped the site and this is an awesome wallpaper featuring Thor

http://thor.marvel.com/assets/images/wallpapers/thor_wallpaper_1280x1024_12.jpg

Quoted again for the epicness.

Seriously this already looks better than Iron Man to me. But then again, I loved TIH better than Iron Man. Just looks like a spectacle.

yeah I really wish there were an IMAX screen close by. Those Asgard scenes would be awesome.

[Mexxecutioner]

Holy cow! Thank you Vartha for the video! Asgard looks unbelievable! That is so ****** amazing! And I really like the fact that they bulit a WHOLE town for the movie! Ridiculous!
I am so pumped for this movie! 2 and 1/2 weeks to go here in Germany! :-)

[Flemm]

I haven't been watching the recent clips, but I did take a look at that behind the scenes video, and I'm glad I did. Those new glimpses of Asgard look absolutely off the hook amazing. And I love the contrast with the small town in the middle of nowhere :yay:

[Sebastos]

Also yes, thanks Vartha for the video. :awesome:

[lixdexia]

thanks for sharing the video vartha :)

[Vartha]

Glad you guys liked it. heh That's my first You Tube upload too. lol
I wish we had more of those kinds interviews.

[Sebastos]

The brief scene of Loki, Hogun, Sif, Fandral, Volstagg and Thor walking together was sooooo cool.

[Hurm...]

Ok here it is
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nosWadTkM0Holy Baby Jebus!

That was glorious. Natalie Portman looks hotter than ever lol.

[Hurm...]

Visually, this looks so damn good. The cinematography is ace. :up:

The shots of Asgard are stunning.

lol indeed!

[Gamma Burst]

Asgard is looking unbelievable!

[Brian Braddock]

Asgard.........looks........amazing.

[Vartha]

I can't help to think that's early footage. It looks just like the SDCC footage from last year

[Angamb]

is there a gallery thread on this board?

I havent found it, I want to see the latest individual shoots/posters of Thor, but I cant find any thread just for the promotional photos...

So I never buy comics anymore, but today I just went to a shop located very close to my campus and bought "Marvel Masterworks Vol. 4: The Avengers" which holds the first 10 issues. And I dunno the store's typical policy, but the guy said on Free Comic Book Day I get like 30 free ones since I spent over ten bucks. So I guess I'll make it a weekend to see Thor May 6 and go into town the next day while I'm all jacked up on dis ****!

Met Chris & Tom at Kapow today! Both are such a nice guys! Chatted a little about Thor, but sadly, they were in hurry, so I didn't manage to do the planned q/a with them.

Still, an autograph from both of gents = a-w-e-s-o-m-e! Thor panel at Kapow was the biggest & the greatest here! Thor powned Green Lantern in every way possible)

Well there's always around 30 free comics they put out HP. There's also sometimes other goodies as well. If I'm not mistaken this next Free comicbook day there's supposed to be a Thor/Cap book.

[TomPiltoff]

And I love the contrast with the small town in the middle of nowhere :yay:

No offense, but that's nonsense.

Every behind the scenes promotional thing has some dude from the set trying to sell how unique the movie is. 'When Thor is in Asgard there are castles. But when he gets to Earth...there aren't castles!'

What a load of crap. Movie could still be great or terrible, but there wasn't any insight there.

There is a small town. And there is Asgard, which is looking pretty spectacular. I like the contrast. Of course the movie could still be great or terrible on the basis of that, but nobody suggested otherwise.

[Isildur´s Heir]

I just saw the behind the scenes and......meh.

Besides special effects, CGI and big ass explosions, there isn´t much else.
As for Asgard, all they show is skyline shoots and the throne room, which is the same in all trailers, which makes me wonder if there is anything else.

Don´t get me wrong, the movie can be the best thing made by men, but i´m still not that excited as i would have liked.
Still going to see it first day, it´s The God of Thunder afterall

[Endeavor]

I don't know if there is a "right type of bow", it's all about what you're comfortable with.

There's basically 3 types of bow, the longbow, the recurve, and the compound. Any of the 3 could kill you, the compound is probably the most ubiqutous among hunters now a day, because it's much easier to draw and hold.

From a military standpoint, when they would use a bow, it would be a compound bow. The technology that goes into them, you're much less apt to have a misfire. Recurves are practically impossible to hold the pull, which is why most people fire them with a single draw and release motion.

The other major advantage of a compound bow is they are alot quiter than a long bow or recurve, and because of the pully system the bow can be shorter in length and still have the same pull pound for pound. Compound bows also use carbon graphite arrows, which fire straighter and longer than wooden arrows.

I know Hawkeye didn't use a compound bow in the comics, but if he existed in the real world he'd be using a compound bow.

Thanks. Very informative :up:

[Son of Coul]

Pandora or Asgard?

protocidaaaaaa!!! :argh:

[Spideyfan93]

Asgard
Oa
Pandora

In that order. Asgard is the most beautiful with beautiful structures and royalty. Oa is nice but not that nice, unless you love nothing but flying. Pandora has the US military up its ass the whole time and unless you like being tall and blue, no thanks.

[Iron_Stark]

Naboo







I kid I kid, Asgard all the way!

[Son of Coul]

I would agree with that order in terms of being a resident of those places as well.

Asgardian caped badass
a Green Lantern badass
big blue native tribal cat

[Spideyfan93]

I don't see how one could enjoy living as Na'vi in Pandora unless one loves nature and being one with everything.

The least amount of bs could possibly occur in Asgard. Sure, betrayals and maybe political disorder, but that's it really.

On Oa, Sinestro, the great leader of the universe, goes yellow on everyone and destroys the Corps. Not what I'd call fun.

I wonder... Since they were reimagined as aliens, would the Asgardians be part of the Green Lantern Corps jurisdiction if they shared the same Universe?

Perhaps, that'd be pretty sick to be an Asgardian Green Lantern.

Man, Asgard looks absolutely beautiful.

It also restores my hopes of an Asgardian landscape with forests and such. I'd love to have the Warriors 3 going hunting etc.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Asgard is one of the most visually fantastic looking things I've seen in a Marvel film setting in a while.

[Wolvieboy17]

Also, It looks like Thor and Cap will really stand together well as two of th emost visually interesting Marvel films to date, Thor with it's great, epic set pieces and vistas and Cap with it's great period based lighting and colour tones.

[Greatvillage]

Speaking of creatures, I sure hope the Rock Trolls are included in Thor's sequel.

[Wolvieboy17]

Yeah, I think once Thor has been established, it opens the way for a movie completely set in Asgard, which would be nice.

[Still A ThorFan]

We should be thankful the Thor film that was supposed to be directed by Raimi never came to be. It was written by Ron Friedman, the script wasn't too bad but a lot of things needed to be changed, ex. In the script Donald Blake is driven to go to Norway by visions of a construction worker using a jack hammer, and a sex scene with Thor and Jane while they fly through space.

It ended with a bunch of rock trolls and Loki attacking London. Thor and the milliatary took em down.

Kurt Russell was to star as Thor. I had that script for 10 years, glad it never came to be.

Yes it would, I'd also like to see Executioner appear at some point in a sequel. I'm kinda bothered by the fact that Thor and Executioner never really had a "one on one" fight in A: EMH :down:

Of course Ymir and Surtur are a must as well, idk which one I'm more eager to see.

I still can't believe how Thor-centric that show has been. lol

[BigThor]

Yeah, for awhile he was playing second fiddle to Cap and Iron Man but recently he's been in the spotlight BIGTIME :up:.

The next two episodes are gonna be just as Thor centric as the last few, maybe even a bit more.

[Vartha]

Yeah I can't wait!


I'm uploading that BEHIND THE SCENES now guys. It's about a third done.

[Vartha]

OK here's the Behind the Scenes.

[protocida]

The Mark Protesvich Script was pretty cool, in addition to providing the "backbone" of the final Script.

[Whiskey Tango]

I love the shot of Thor's face as he loses his cape when Odin is taking away his powers. You can see the defeat in his face and its that subtle acting from Hemsworth that has me most excited.

Nah, he's thinking "Oh ****, my cape! Now what am I gonna wipe the ale foam off my lips with?"

[Vartha]

Nah, he's thinking "Oh ****, my cape! Now what am I gonna wipe the ale foam off my lips with?"
...his Sleeve?

[LuisTX85]

We should be thankful the Thor film that was supposed to be directed by Raimi never came to be. It was written by Ron Friedman, the script wasn't too bad but a lot of things needed to be changed, ex. In the script Donald Blake is driven to go to Norway by visions of a construction worker using a jack hammer, and a sex scene with Thor and Jane while they fly through space.

It ended with a bunch of rock trolls and Loki attacking London. Thor and the milliatary took em down.

Kurt Russell was to star as Thor. I had that script for 10 years, glad it never came to be.

Oh WTF!?

[LuisTX85]

OK here's the Behind the Scenes.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TD2XJ2HI

Awesome stuff right there!

[Vartha]

Yeah it is. How many slurpee cups do you have Luis? lol I know there's ALOT of 7-11's down there. lol

[LuisTX85]

Yeah it is. How many slurpee cups do you have Luis? lol I know there's ALOT of 7-11's down there. lol

Two so far!,Thor"Big Gulp"&Loki Slurpee But I think I'll be getting Sif&Destroyer soon.

[Vartha]

All I have from a bud up in Kansas city is the four straws, the Thor statue cup and the big gulp Thor, Sif, and Destroyer. He's going to get the rest soon.
I have my kids up north of Chicago getting them too. lol I WANT that danged poster from the rewards. lol

[ddddeeee]

We'll get tracking numbers for the opening weekend tonight.

[Vartha]

Tracking numbers for what Dee?

Opening weekend box office.

[Vartha]

OH OK, I keep forgetting you get it a week earlier! lol

[Doctor Jones]

So the press screening was today right? If so, hopefully there's no embargo, although that may be the case.

[S.A.A.D.]

I am 100% sure that there will be an embargo.

[S.A.A.D.]

I got this feeling that Thor wearing his helmet will be a normal thing down the road in future movies.

[Chewy]

OH OK, I keep forgetting you get it a week earlier! lol
He's talking about tracking numbers for the US opening weekend

[LuisTX85]

I sure hope so!,I'm fully expecting him to start having it on for most of his appearances in Avengers.

[Wolvieboy17]

10 days until i'm in Thorsville baby!

[Wolvieboy17]

Btw, after seeing so many clear pictures of Thor's costume, i'd love to see him without the armour on, just with his blue under-tunic and cape to see what that looks like.

[BigThor]

10 days until i'm in Thorsville baby!

Awesomeeeeeeeee :word:

hay hay don't mess with the old fart! :D

[Gamma Burst]

He's talking about tracking numbers for the US opening weekend

I've got a feeling they'll be good numbers.:word:

[S.A.A.D.]

I think that Thor will do over $100 million but under $200 million at the domestic box office when it's all said and done.

[Doctor Jones]

I'm guessing around $60 million range opening weekend.

[Microchip]

It'll have that "first blockbuster of the summer" boost though. Hulk certainly didn't have that, but other flicks have overperformed due to earlier seeding in the season.

[Chewy]

4 hours and 43 minutes until the www.joinshield.com site is live.

Hehe, yeah I've been messing on it for like an hour, pretty neat.

[Son of Coul]

Can't figure out the goddamn Lie Detector thing yet, surprisingly.

edit- apparently it's subjects 2&4, ********.

[Spideyfan93]

Up to the lie detector and...the last guy makes me nervous lol.

[Vartha]

Still playing around with it myself

[BigThor]

I think Thor will do between 80 to 100 million domestically in it's opening weekend, and I think it'll do over 250 million domestically by the time it leaves the theaters.

[Wolvieboy17]

Does anyone want to share the correct answer for the lie detector? They're all such terrible actors, I have no idea!

[Still A ThorFan]

I think Thor will do between 80 to 100 million domestically in it's opening weekend, and I think it'll do over 250 million domestically by the time it leaves the theaters.

Iron Man made 98 Mil, Thor has to do about the same or better than that.

[High Voltage]

Loving the S.H.I.E.L.D. site haha

[Hurm...]

Are the benefits only for those living in the States?

If so...

:(

BTW Just passed the lie detector, here is a hint.... Keep an eye at the heart rate as they talk. Make your choices based on that :)

[Tony Stark]

I think Thor will do between 80 to 100 million domestically in it's opening weekend, and I think it'll do over 250 million domestically by the time it leaves the theaters.

That's what I'm hoping for as well. I'm hoping for mostly positive reviews. I'm trying to keep my expectations level, but I think it's real important for Thor and Cap to do well for cross promotion of Avengers. Not to mention that I am really looking forward to the film.

Visually, from the taste we've gotten so far, I am so impressed. They were wise to hide the Asgard scenes, but seeing them now IMO they blow GL out of the water (and I thought GL was very visually appealing).

Regardless, if it comes close to the numbers you're quoting, it's a success.

[ddddeeee]

Iron Man made 98 Mil, Thor has to do about the same or better than that.

Um no. If Marvel thought Thor HAD to make that it never would've been made in the first place. Anything over $200M, which is 2/3 of Iron Man, would be great.

[Hurm...]

If the film delivers critically, the audiences will roll in IMO. This isn't always the case, sure, but the GA already knows this will be an action packed spectacle. What they don't know is if it is worthwhile story-wise. If we can get solid performances, epic battles, and quality storytelling intertwined into one juicy summer film, than potential movie-goers will see those qualities through and pay for admission.

Nothing works better for summer audiences than a film with good action and a good story. It worked for Iron Man....

BUT

Hemsworth needs to SELL Thor, like Downey sold Tony Stark. The word of mouth for RDJ's performance as Iron Man was what really killed it.

[marvel_freshman]

[Chewy]

But Hemsworth has something Downey didn't... a heavyweight villain to help carry the film.

[Tony Stark]

SWEET! I was hoping we'd get a shot of them together soon.

Very cool, but I'm still waiting for a shot of the "big 3".

[Wolvieboy17]

Well, not really for a GA. It's an actor they don't know, as opposed to Jeff Bridges for IM.

[Chewy]

I am talking about the characters/roles within the film... not the actors.

[Wolvieboy17]

Well I can't really seeing that being a selling point for anyone who knows nothing about it anyway. The god of mischief wouldn't mean anymore than the God of Thunder would to someone in the dark on the movie.

[Tony Stark]

But Hemsworth has something Downey didn't... a heavyweight villain to help carry the film.

Being an Iron Man fan for 35 plus years, that's one thing IM's been lacking is a good rogue gallery. The obvious choice is Mandarin, but even he was kinda goofy in the comics, especially his initial portrayal.

While he's been my favorite Marvel character, I'll freely admit, his foes are not as cool as Loki, or Doc Ock, or some of the other Marvel great villians. This is what happens when his first "big" villian he faced in the comics was called "Mr. Doll". I mean serioulsy Stan and Jack, you two are brilliant, but you couldn't come up with something better than "Mr. Doll" who was nothing but a cheap knock off of Puppet Master?

I agree with you though, Loki is going to sell the film. I'm not familiar with Hiddleston's work, but I hope he's the breakout performance in this film.

[Vartha]

heh for some reason Bo and Luke Duke comes to mind......:doh:

Again, I am not talking about how the movie is being sold. I am talking about how it will be received/WOM.

[Wolvieboy17]

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, then you're spot on, Loki is definitely more interesting than Iron Monger.

[Hurm...]

Hahahaha what an awkward cover.

[R_Hythlodeus]

can't wait for the movie....

[Wolvieboy17]

Me neither.... 9 days :P

[Brian Braddock]

I am talking about the characters/roles within the film... not the actors.

Come to think of it, now that we have quality images of all three characters, has anyone made a smokin' Iron Man, Thor and Cap manip?

There are some good ones in the Avengers forum. Problem is alot of them have shellhead with his faceplate down. There's a coupe of him with the helmet off, but not many.

heh INDEED! I have two from the 70's that I actually replaced, but now are displayed.
I had this life-size cardboard Spider-Man that was holding a slurpee cup for the longest time. It hung by the ceiling in the stores. I'm not really sure what happened to it.

Hiddleston is really interesting to listen to in these interviews. His discussion of working with the green screen is much more in-depth than you'd really expect from an actor doing this kind of panel.

I love how Branagh refers to Hemsworth and Hiddleston as "the boys." LoL.

[Still A ThorFan]

I feel Thor is going to do better over seas than it is here.

[Nirvana]

All these interviews make me wish Kenneth Branagh had a small part or cameo in the movie.

[Spideyfan93]

Making one's child watch Thor every day will give one an over appreciation of hammers. I wouldn't want my daughter to be obsessed with hammers until she's at least halfway through high school.

[Wolvieboy17]

As opposed to all the recreational drug use and sex they would learn to appreciate from Your Highness?

Thor would teach her an appreciation of awesomeness and winning. Then when she's 18, she can hook up with Charlie Sheen.

[Spideyfan93]

It was a joke but touche lol.

Can't wait for the days I show my son(if it's a son lol) all the super hero movies of these decades. Just like mine introduced me to Supes and Bats followed by X-Men being my first theatric one.
