@Corp About those Syfy movies I watched the Thor one. I was completely astounded that Randy from Home Improvement was still acting haha. Was a pretty cheesy movie but Its ok B movies are fun to watch sometimes

I don´t wanna sound pretentious, but I can´t help noticing the story very much has typical Shakesperian themes. War is coming, a son is disapproved and cast out by his own father the king, his deceitful, manipulative brother ascends to the throne through lies. Branagh was a good match.

SAN DIEGO — Kenneth Branagh is directing "Thor" for Marvel Studios, and some think it’s a stretch for him to take on a superhero movie. He’s more Shakespearean, having adapted several of the Bard’s films for the big screen.

But the 49-year-old actor-director says Shakespeare’s characters aren’t unlike today’s superheroes.

Shakespeare wrote about "Henry V" centuries after his reign, and turned the king into a sort of superhero who could do no wrong, Branagh says.

"We know that we’re interested in superheroes, kings, gods, because of their sort of human-like failings. So it seemed to me not as much of a stretch as some people might think," Branagh said at last week’s Comic-Con, where he presented footage from the film. "The stretch part of it is embracing the whole world of digital effects. That’s been something I’ve just loved because it’s — if you can think it, they can do it. And that’s exciting."

Natalie Portman, a star of "Thor," said the story is perfect for Branagh to handle.

"Ken is very aware of epic stories and, you know, these sort of mythological family structures that are at the base of all the classic texts," she said. "And the fact that this is classic mythology even though it is a super hero and a comic book movie, it was really a perfect fit."

"Thor" also stars Chris Hemsworth, Kat Dennings and Anthony Hopkins. It’s set for release next year.

Currently scanning Google for any info on what the name of the rock music in the footage was. So far, can't find anything.

Morg buddy I love B movies.
I liked the idea of the story tho the ACTING was horrible. What can I say, I like a good Laugh.

 

[NickNitro]

yea Vartha its funny I watched 3 ninjas with my friends a couple of days ago and there were points in the film you could see the stunt doubles that looked nothing like the actors/camera men in reflections of car windows. We had a great laugh because I loved that movie when I was around 10.

We're always so serious about movies especially on this site, its nice to sit back and just laugh at stupid movies sometimes

 

[roach]

which is all Syfy is all about nowadays...stupid movies...its hard to believe the network that brought us Battlestar Galactica is now doing Sharktopus

 

[NickNitro]

haha and those crazy giant pirahnas that eat helicopters...literally saw that just casually changing chanels and it blew my mind.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I caught that "Earth" thing too. I used to date an Australian girl so my ears pick that up.

I was wondering if it's possible his accent will be different while on Earth and without his powers. Maybe that would cause him to talk different?

Can't imagine why it would...

When they cut the 2 minute trailer they have to make the basic plot and Thor's motivations more obvious. The 5 minute trailer is visually exciting but the premise looks a mess as it is. Directors and writers should assume the audience is smart, marketers should assume the audience is stupid.

They got the banishment part of it pretty well. I agree, though, they could stand to clarify just what the story builds to after that. As a comic fan, I know Loki becoming king is a bad thing, but the trailer didn't give you much of a sense of how bad Loki is or why Thor would ultimately have to depose him.

You saw the one with Kristanna Loken, right? It was an adaptation of the Ring of the Nibelungs myth. I actually liked that movie, even though it was still super-cheesy.

As a still that looks totally awesome, but I've seen Sci-Fi channel movies before. I'm not fooled.

I own Dark Kingdom. I loved that movie. That's why Early on I was saying Kristanna would have made a GREAT Sif or Valkyrie. Her acting wasn't all that bad really. lol

 

[TheCorpulent1]

She's kind of associated with terrible movies at this point, though. BloodRayne, Terminator 3, etc.

 

[Vartha]

No harm as an Extra. I mean there are 9 Valkyries. who notice? lol

 

[demento]

Too bad no Brunnhilde in Thor... would've been a cool cameo.

 

[misjuevos]

i saw that thor movie on syfy, and it was pretty crappy. so when the one about the nibelungs came on i thought it was just another dumb movie and passed. i just saw it and it was really a good movie. lots of twist and turns.

Wager's Ring, the opera is the same thing, AND the Eye of Odin Arc with Thor as Sigfried and Sigurd is the adaption of the Ring of Nibelungs.

DUDES!

Iron Man 2 is one of the most highly anticipated home releases of the year. Dozens of extra features and extended scenes guarantee that every fan will want to get their hands on it once available in stores. If the already revealed extras aren't enough to pique your interest, this may do the trick: The Thor movie compilation and Captain America teaser trailer will both be included in the sequel's 2-disc Special Edition Blu-Ray.


Unfortunately, they won't be easy to find. The features will be "hidden" in a special S.H.I.E.L.D. Data Vault (an obvious nod to the infamous S.H.I.E.L.D. prison of the same name). I have it on good authority that the Thor footage included on the Blu-Ray disc will be finalized with full effects and CG. There is some bad news, though; the Captain America teaser may not reveal Chris Evans in his movie costume. Since these features have to be added to the disc docket before it's ready for mass production, a decision of how much will be revealed has to be made within the next few days.


No confirmation whether these features will also be included on the DVD release or other, limited edition releases. The Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray hits shelves September 2010.

that's great news. did fav have anything to do with it, or is it just something marvel threw in for anticipation. i know fav likes to give the fans tons of stuff. like how he brought some footage of his movie he barely started shooting to comic con. i'm looking forward to seeing the finished effects and cap footage for the first time.i know there will be some mjolnir and odin's spear will have effects.like the scene when odin cast thor out he raises mjolnir. they probably will show a new effect.
