Thor Movie

[ourchair]

You'd think some directors would be jumping at the chance to get some of that Marvel pie.

Yes, but Thor is probably not the slice they're eager for.

 

[Gemini]

I know he's got a full plate

but i think Del Toro would do well on this, he could make the frost giants and surtur and all the other ghoulies in Norse Mythology look great, and he know's how to make an action movie...and has experience on movie's based around mythology transposed over a modern society, and he's worked on a marvel project before (Blade 2 which i think is pretty underrated)

 

[Iceshadow]

Right? What a douche. Although, in his defense. . .X3 was pretty ****ty.

It was ok, not great but not Spider-Man 3 either.

Yes, but Thor is probably not the slice they're eager for.

I'm hoping that someone will see it as a challenge.

CBR:


The Hollywood Reporter notes that "'Thor' will be released about six weeks after 'Iron Man 2,' and Marvel is waiting for a script polish from scribe Mark Protosevich ('I Am Legend'). Matthew Vaughn no longer is attached to direct the project because his holding deal expired December."

You know, I watched both of them the other day. . .and, really, neither of them were that bad. They weren't as good as their predecessors, especially their respective second movies, but they really don't deserve nearly the amount of crap they get.

On topic. . .THOR BETTER TALK NORMAL. Maybe no contractions, but I don't want any of this Ye Olde English speak. He's ****ing Norse, not Olde English!

 

[ProjectX2]

Thor better be Ultimate Thor. And the Avengers movie better be the Ultimates.

 

[Hellsbuttmonkey]

Thor better be Ultimate Thor. And the Avengers movie better be the Ultimates.

Quotified for truthisms.

 

[Dr.Strangefate]

I'd settle for Thor as he is written in JMS' current book. Well-spoken, like someone out of royalty, but still without the Thees and Thous.

Should he speak with a Norwegian accent then? Or do you just want regular English?

I like that.

Honestly, I'm happy as long as he talks a lot of smack.

Another rare occasion where I agree completely with Proj.

 

[DARKKNIGHT]

Mr. Smith might be Thor?!?!

After thinking about it I'm not entirely repulsed by the idea.

I could see him as Ultimate Thor.

 

[bluebeast]

I could really see it working out.

There's a panel in Ultimates 2 after Cap berates Thor in a club where Thor looks EXACTLY like Brad Pitt. And if he beefs up like in Troy, I think he'd work nicely. It has to be Ultimate Thor, though. The helmet and cape would look completely out of place, if not in the Thor movie itself, then definitely in The Avengers.

But, good GOD is the Avengers going to be expensive if they get Pitt. That's a lot of leading men that would have to share screen time.

I was thinking the same thing about using ultimate thor.

 

[thee great one]

I was thinking Brad Pitt would make a better Cap.

 

[J. Agamemnon]

I was thinking Brad Pitt would make a better Cap.

I wouldn't mind that either. BUt i'm telling you. Matt Damon in Bourne Ultimatum IS Captain America. He even uses the boots.

Disagree. I don't want to see a PG-13 remake of the Ultimates. I want to see something new. If I want the Ultimates, I can read the Ultimates.

The premise for the Thor movie has been outlined as "an Old Testament God becoming a New Testament God" and I find that much more interesting than a retread of Millar's take on the character.

I want to see a barbarian epic mixed with the modern day. I want to see the Nordic pantheon portrayed as the blood and thunder gods they are - where the only thing that matters is fighting, drinking, and ****ing - and where there's no ethical context for this cycle of violence. You war because that's what life is, not because of any moral contexts.

I want to see Thor sent to Earth as Odin under the guise of punishment but with the real intent of salvation, a means for his son to break free of the Ragnarok cycle. I want to see a god of ruthless, cynical violence thrust into a world where men have practically become gods, and I want to see Thor changed by the experience, transformed from a force of destructive nature into a being of compassion. I think Brad Pitt would be perfect for that, but I doubt we'll see it.

That's what I want to see. And when I want to see Ultimate Thor, I'll just pick up the Ultimates trades I've got sitting on my bookshelf.

I don't think I've ever agreed with you more, Zombie.

Also with Thor they might need a "big name" like Pitt. After all he is hardly as well known as Captain America, and I would argue not as accessible to a general audience as Iron Man.
