Thor expected to be "biggest" Marvel Studios film to date!

[Antonello Blueberry]

If you read the script you would know that there was much more than you just said. I'm not posting any details about it here.

Maybe I did.

 

[Advanced Dark]

Either you did or you didn't. If you did you would know exactly what he had to deal with and how he had to prove himself, etc...There was quite a bit of soul searching in the script I read.

Soul searching while beating the hell out of the vikings.

 

[Vartha]

yup, as odd as it sounds it DOES happen. Keep in mind the Norse had different levels of people as any other country. Chieftians, farmers, slaves, and so on, there weren't just Warriors.

Ok now I know you didn't read the script then or you breezed through it because there was more than that.

 

[Still A ThorFan]

I read the script and I'm just so damn happy that the movie has such a serious tone. It is nothing like the previous Marvel Films; Spiderman, FF, X3, and Ghost Rider which were all a damn joke in my view.

Thor seems to be more of an adult superhero movie that I believe critics will take seriously as well.

As far as casting goes Loki was described as darkly handsome so I can imagine a Joaquin Phoenix or Jonathan Rhys Meyers being chosen.

As for Thor who the hell knows.

Thor mentioned in WWE article. I doubt Vaughn will go for that if he has any say.

For the most part, wrestlers should be confined to their ring and crap WWE movies if need be.
Last thing the Thor movie needs is some talentless muscelhead ruining the character.
Although considering Marvels casting so far, we shouldn't even have to worry.

For some reason I can't access the above review. I'm sure it's positive though because how could it not be. -AD

Totally agreed. It takes more than HGH or Anabolic Steroids to act.

Slightly more than that.
But I know everything out of Marvel is gold for you, right?

It's a review of the comic-book.

Yeah because I loved Blade Trinity, Daredevil, Elektra, Fantastic Four, and X-Men 1 so much. LOL Get a grip and learn how to have a conversation without throwing dirt or lame old accusations from a dry well.

I did read the script which is the topic of conversation here in case you forgot--and it is gold and anyone who's read it and reviewed it online will back me up on that. Every published review to date has been nothing but praise.

I'm not saying it's crap. It's quite spectacular. But as I said I'd prefer for the atonement journey of Thor to be something more peaceful and more in tone with his Don Blake aspect.

 

[Advanced Dark]

You might get that Antonello in the next film or a future film. From what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) Thor has a pretty long lifespan. There's no date specified in the script but I imagine it's before cars were invented. LOL

I don't think in the next film there will be a need for Thor to learn humility and to live like a normal human being again. And to me learning humility doesn't mean beating the crap out of vikings in a contest.

 

[X-Maniac]

Perhaps the final scenes of the film will show how Thor lived on from the Viking days and eventually became Donald Blake. Pity that Blake ended up living in New York, which is the setting for just about every movie.

Good point Antonello, it'll be interesting to see how they bring Thor into the future since he gets taught Humility early on.
Tho I think you may have misunderstood how Thor leans humility, sure he eventually kicks some viking butt, but, that's not how he learns humility.

I was starting to get excited for Thor until I read this quote from Vaughn from Empire online...

"I think you have to respect that it is comic book and silly to be frank, so you have to combine that with a modern style and hopefully come up with something fresh. I think we can come up with something special."

http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=22144

If he thinks comic books are "silly" then stay the hell away from Thor. It's no wonder they kicked his ass off X3. Why is Marvel still enamored by this guy. Stardust bombed badly.

http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=22141


These little articles mean I officially hope Ant-Man is Marvel's 2009 film now.

 

[Gotham]

I like the fact that he wants an unknown for Thor.

 

[Lighthouse]

After reading that Empire article, I think Thor is toast. At least Matthew Vaughn's version.

 

[chiefchirpa]

Thor is toast if Matt Vaughn opt to break out.

I don't know who to blame on this other than Marvel Studios. Thor is the less known among the 3 Avengers and to have it first before Captain America is certainly not the best move.

Seriously, whats Vaughs major malfunction... He already seems to have a total lack of respect for the source material, and to me that means there is a bigger chance he'll take big "creative" liberties in order for it to fit his vision of "fresh".

The script reviews sounded amazing, and everyone who read it seems to have no problems with it, but how much will Vaugh as a director respect the source if he is at odds with it?

Right now I'm worried, but I am excited for Ant-Man all a sudden!

 

[X-Maniac]

Well, if Peter Jackson hadn't already done elves and trolls, I'd think he might be a good choice. It would seem like 'director typecasting', if you get what I mean.

Vaughn's Stardust was okay but not as special as it's hyped to be. It won 'best sci-fi/fantasy' from Empire magazine's movie awards, televised here in the UK tonight. The other contenders were: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (zzzz...), 300 (visually spectacular, yes, if a little soulless), Sunshine, and Transformers.

 

[Chris B]

I found it interesting that he suggested that the film may have fallen into development hell. Probably due to the budget issues mentioned. I wonder that if they can't get around that, Marvel will discard the current script and start over from scratch? Possibily instead aiming for a storyline involving Donald Blake.

 

[Advanced Dark]

I don't think he suggested that. It's in a holding pattern thanks to the looming SAG strike. Marvel can't possibly finish filming by the end of June 08. The risk is too great to start filming and then have a strike happen. Therefore you're not gonna seem any big films start filming after April or very early May until strike is settled. Who's the genius who allowed all of these damn contracts to expire in the same year. No way Marvel trashes the script. The love it. Just needs a budget trim. While we wait to figure it out Ant-Man is getting a second draft and other Marvel films are in the works. Marvel is being careful with their properties as you can see with Hulk and Iron Man so far. They're not in a rush to release a film to avoid losing the rights.
