Kenneth Branagh to direct Thor

[Khemik@L]

^As was going to China.

Not to get too much into this seeing that this is a Thor Forum but I disagree with this. I see this part as very important to the plot of the movie. Remember Joker told the mob that Batman has no jurisdiction and that he will find the Asian guy. Also bear in mind that the mob decided to hire Joker after they realized that he was right and that the real problem was Batman. As a matter of fact that was what the Mob guy said. "We hire the clown. He was right Batman is Problem we fix problem." (Quote may not be exactly correct but it was along those lines)

Because of this I think the scene in China was important in explaining why the Mob would turn to the Joker. And Plus lol it was pretty bad ass.

I don't know if he's got SECRET plans, but it doesn't look like he's doing anything all 2010. However, he's in some movie I've never heard of called 'The Boat that Rocked' which gets it's NA release today. I suppose in a couple weeks it's all Thor until 2011. Which is good, he seems to be devoting his complete schedule to it.

He also recently wrapped season 2 of Wallander which will air in 2010

 

[Webhead2006]

so was he on that talkshow? if so what did he talk about?

 

[Canis Sapiens]

I bet he was promoting "The Pirate Radio", a comedy opening this weekend in the US, in which he plays some kind of villain. I heard it's a nice flick.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, Branagh's in that? I might have to watch it.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

The Boat that Rocked it's called.

It's about one of the first pirate radio stations. They broadcast from a boat. I think Branagh is some slimey politician who tries to shut them down. Based on a true story it is.

In the US its called Pirate Radio... I actually can't wait for that flick. And the Amazing Odd cast

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Do you have pirate radio stations in the US? They are all I listen to really.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I keep hearing ads for it on my public radio station. "This program is brought to you by the new film Pirate Radio, from the people who brought you Love, Actually." That's a paraphrase. I think they name the writer, but I can't remember who that is.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Richard Curtis I think it is.

Not that I know of but most likely

 

[Canis Sapiens]

Richard Curtis I think it is.

Yeah, he wrote Four Weddings and a Funeral and Notting Hill... and directed Love, Actually... Branagh's in pretty good company.
