True story: back in the early eighties when the "Dungeons and Dragons will make your child evil" hysteria first hit my mother burned all of my comic books in the wood stove because I was a fan of Thor and Thor, of course, is a pagan god. Did nothing to stop my interest in world mythology and, to the best of my knowledge, I've yet to be possessed as a result.
Anyway, that to say that Marvel Comics is planning an adaptation of Thor - to my mind one of the least likely of its heroes to work well on the big screen - and they have tapped Stardust's Matthew Vaughn to direct. They're aiming to get rolling by winter.
I hate to tell you, Todd, but you are possessed, dude. Heh. On the other hand, whatever possessed the studios to think they could make Thor work on the big screen. And after what Matthew Vaughn just did with Stardust? They must be rolling over up there in Valhalla.
Todd's not here right now ...
Seriously, the way some people think...
What has more chance of warping your children's fragile little minds:
1/. Reading comics about the merits of truth, justice and upholding the American Way of Life.
2/. Having their favorite books being burnt because of intolerance and fear...
Pazuzu ... is that you ... ?
I've always thought Thor was the most silliest superhero out there, even though I'm nordic and all that shit.
They would have to do some major re design on his looks because no matter who plays him, having a chrome helmet with wings on it will make anyone look like a dork.
I have a feeling this won't happen. Simply too silly.
I hope the get Vincent D'Onofrio to play Thor. Oh, wait a minute, someone already did that.
They almost have to change his image. Have any of you seen the newly revived Thor? The freakin chainmail makes him look like a disco ball. LOL.
Yes!!Beta Ray Bill rawks!!
