Thor to Start Shooting Mid-January

November 13, 2009

Marvel Studios will kick-off principal photography for the Kenneth Branagh-directed Thor in Los Angeles in mid-January. The production will then move to Santa Fe, New Mexico from March until late-April.

The comic book adaptation is scheduled to hi theaters on May 20, 2011 and will be distributed by Paramount. Thor stars Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Jaimie Alexander, Colm Feore, Samuel L. Jackson and Stellan Skarsgard.

The epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

this movie will be most excelent! i was even thor for halloween.
and no that rumor was proven false

Damn, should be really good. I like the idea of it having a LOTR feel to it like D-MAN said.
I wander how it will tie into the Avengers. And remember what Jon Favreau said about wanting Iron Man staying in a realistic world. How will this movie affect that? But I'm trusting Marvel.

I anxiously await seeing the characters in costume.

Spy pics, don't fail me!

Oh c'mon DMAN. Like it's all so realistic. I want "the rainbow bridge of Asgard"....."Where the might thunder roars"....

*see the '60s cartoon for that reference

That's the first time I've read the plor for the movie.
Wow! It sounds epic, and I can't wait to see it all up on the big screen.
Imagine it in IMAX!?!

Posted by: Roger Dodger on November 13, 2009 at 05:41:38

I can't imagine this will be any good.
