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 could be fantastic. Unless it gets cut down to a 90 minute movie where there are more plot holes than a chunk of swiss cheese.
I'm excited though.

That spam ad comment ensures that all ensuing "cool"s and "AWESOME!"s will appear to be directed at the promise of hot love, flirt(?), and hot dating as opposed to Thor.

Strangely, the more news I hear for this film, the more I worry about Captain America. We've heard zero news about that film and it's supposed to come out just two months after Thor.
