Kenneth Branagh Finally Talks Thor
Months after being picked to direct Thor, Kenneth Branagh at last shed some light on his latest foray into big-budget moviemaking, his first since Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

With rumors swirling over who will play the Asgardian, from Daniel Craig to Rome's Kevin McKidd, Branagh tried to quiet the chatter: "There's been lots of talk [about casting] -- I sound like a politician -- but we are too early at this stage. We're getting the story and the visual effects together and all of that is very exciting. Someone sensational is going to play the part but it is early days."

With Thor scheduled to open July 16, 2010, and the Avengers movie to follow a year later in 2011, Branagh will have to move quickly, as those "early days" are almost over. But for those who echo Robert Downey Jr.'s concerns over how they will blend Thor and Iron Man and the Hulk realistically into one movie, Branagh's vision for Thor should please: "It's a chance to tell a big story on a big scale. It's a human story right in the center of a big epic scenario."





As Dr. Owen Hunt, "Grey's Anatomy" star Kevin McKidd is certainly a hero to the patients he saves at Seattle Grace. But now, the Scottish actor might be set to channel his efforts into a role of super-heroic proportions on the big screen.

McKidd, who is known affectionately as "McArmy" on the hit ABC show, is in talks to play the title character in Marvel's upcoming live-action "Thor" movie, a rep for the star confirmed to Access Hollywood.

In fact, at one point McKidd was attached to play Thor – the Norse God with the thunderous hammer Mjolnir – however, a change in the film's directors put the role in flux. Despite the change, McKidd remains a candidate.

"Kevin was attached to play Thor when Matthew Vaughn was going to direct the film," the rep added. "Matthew has since dropped out, but Kevin's name is still on the short list."

Other names rumored to be in the running to bring the comic book character to life are Brad Pitt, Daniel Craig and Kenneth Branagh, who is also reportedly in talks to take over directing duties.

Most know McKidd from his roles on the short-lived NBC time-traveling drama "Journeyman," as well as his role as Lucius Vorenus on HBO's "Rome" series.

His big screen credits include "Made of Honor," "Hannibal Rising," "Kingdom of Heaven" and "De-Lovely."

Chris Hemsworth is Thor



Chris Hemsworth has been cast as the title character in Kenneth Branagh's big screen adaptation of Marvel's Thor. Hemsworth will also be playing the mythic comic book character in the Summer 2012 superhero team-up film The Avengers.

You might be wondering, "Who the hell is Chris Hemsworth?" While you might not recognize his name, you saw him on the big screen last weekend in JJ Abrams' Star Trek as George Kirk. Some of my critic friends had a big problem with Hemsworth's performance in the opening sequence, but I did not.



Nikki Finke reports that Marvel and Branagh made the final decision earlier today after reviewing Hemsworth's test footage, which was described as "Oh my god." Chris is currently in production on the Joss Whedon-written Drew Goddard-directed horror film The Cabin in the Woods. The Australian actor was also just cast as the lead role in MGM's Red Dawn remake last week.

He's a virtual unknown in the United States, but he was a star on a successful television series back in Oz (171 episodes of Home and Away) and was on the 2006 Australian version of Dancing with the Stars.

Written by Mark Protosevich, the story has been described as being "like a superhero origin story, but not one about a human gaining super powers, but of a god realizing his true potential. It's the story of an Old Testament god who becomes a New Testament god".

Marvel will self-finance the production, and the film will be distributed by Paramount Pictures. Marvel has announced a June 17th 2011 release date for the film.

Idris Elba hits out at race row over Thor role
By David Bentley on Apr 27, 10 12:42 PM
IDRIS ELBA has hit back at controversy over his role in Kenneth Branagh's upcoming Norse warrior blockbuster Thor.

The debate has centred on the colour of the actor's skin.

London-born Elba plays the guardian Heimdall in the Marvel Studios release, which hits screens in May 2011 and stars Chris Hemsworth in the title role and Sir Anthony Hopkins as Odin.

Heimdall stands guard on the rainbow bridge linking gods' realm Asgard to Earth and is depicted as white-skinned in Marvel's Thor comics on which the film is based.

As a result, there's been an ungodly controversy over whether Elba is suitable for the part.

"There has been a big debate about it: Can a black man play a Nordic character?" said Elba.

"Hang about, Thor's mythical, right? Thor has a hammer that flies to him when he clicks his fingers. That's OK, but the colour of my skin is wrong?"

The 37-year-old, who made his name internationally as drug-dealing Stringer Bell in US series The Wire, also warned against pigeonholing his title role in the new series Luther as "a black detective".

Elba, an associate producer on the BBC crime drama, told the TV Times: "I think we'll put ourselves in a corner if we just describe Luther as a black detective.

"There haven't been many in the past, but the fact that he's black is neither here nor there.

"We all know someone from a different ethnic background, we all mix, so it's great to have a character who happens to be black in the central position.

"He still bleeds, just like anyone else."

If you stick around after the ending credits of Iron Man 2, you'll get a surprise that expands the Marvel movie universe, just like with the first movie. We glimpsed this scene, and here's what happens. Maximum spoilers below!

Somehow, the "after credits" sequence from Iron Man 2 wound up on YouTube for a short while, and we had a chance to watch it before it was, not surprisingly, taken down.

Here's what happens:

We see a desert landscape, with sandy dunes punctuated by the occasional bit of scrub. There are mountains off in the distance. A black car zooms across the screen, dust and exhaust in its wake. The car swerves and roars towards the camera, and we see its New Mexico license plate: 8RE 2Z1. A man steps out of the car, and then we see him standing on top of a tall hill with a single tree, looking down at something.

The man is revealed to be SHIELD agent Coulson, wearing dark glasses and a dark suit.

He's looking down at a smoking crater, which is being circled by a bunch of cars, as feverish activity takes place around it. He turns away from the crater, and touches his earpiece. "Sir," he says, "We've found it." The camera pans back to show what's in the crater — Thor's hammer, looking much like it does in the comics.

Smash to black.

Hemsworth - Tor? Smešno.

[SIMERIJANAC]

Facom odgovara.Nisam ga gledo kako glumi ali ne verujem da bi Brana dozvolio da mu producenti uvale nekog amatera za glavnog glumca.
A koga bi ti predložio?

Aj sad da ceo film bude ovakav, i sve ce biti super.

White supremacists urge Thor boycott over casting of black actor as Norse god. Council of Conservative Citizens attacks Marvel for giving role of deity Heimdall to Idris Elba, star of The Wire

A US white supremacist group has called for a boycott of the Kenneth Branagh-directed superhero movie Thor on the grounds that a black actor has been cast in the role of a Norse god.

The Council of Conservative Citizens is upset that London-born Idris Elba, star of The Wire and BBC detective series Luther as well as a number of Hollywood films, is to play deity Heimdall in the Marvel Studios feature. The group, which opposes inter-racial marriage and gay rights, has set up a website, boycott-thor.com to set out its opposition to what it sees as an example of leftwing social engineering.

"It [is] well known that Marvel is a company that advocates for leftwing ideologies and causes," the site reads. "Marvel frontman Stan 'Lee' Lieber boasts of being a major financier of leftwing political candidates. Marvel has viciously attacked the Tea Party movement, conservatives and European heritage.

"Now they have taken it one further, casting a black man as a Norse deity in their new movie Thor. Marvel has now inserted social engineering into European mythology."

The site chooses to ignore its target's thespian talents, referring to "hip-hop DJ Elba" in apparent reference to the actor's career in East End nightclubs more than a decade ago. Elba himself addressed the casting issue earlier this year, pointing out that "Thor has a hammer that flies to him when he clicks his fingers". He continued: "That's OK, but the colour of my skin is wrong?"

Branagh's decision to cast non-white actors as citizens of Asgard stands in apparent opposition to a one-time policy on Peter Jackson's forthcoming Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hobbit. A British woman of Pakistani origin complained last month that she had been turned away from a casting session for being "too brown". The offending crew member, an independent contractor, was later sacked.

Thor, starring the Anglo-Saxon-looking Chris Hemsworth in the title role, and Jewish actor Natalie Portman as his love interest is due to arrive in cinemas next May.

[Kunac]

Trejler je ODURAN!

[Meho Krljic]

Pa, meni i nije oduran, mislim da je sasvim pristojan za Marvelove standarde. Uvek je teško pola veka kontinuiteta stripa sažeti u dva sata filma koji treba da ima i origin story prihvatljiv današnjoj publici, i akciju i karakterizaciju kako heroja tako i njegovog ljudskog alter egoa. Koliko vidim, ovde je ljudski alter ego izbačen, nema Donalda Blejka, nego samo Tora i reklo bi se da su se tu malo oslonili na Millarov Ultimates kontinuitet (ne na sam kontinuitet koliko na ideje). Vizuelni dizajn mi je OK, glavni glumac uverljivo kanališe Millarovog Tora iz Ultimatesa, kostim i čekić su OK a Asgardski Uništitelj izgleda baš onako kako ga je Džek Kirbi izmaštao, pa provučen kroz prizmu Olivera Koipela (kako smo ga videli u JMSovom Toru pre par godina, čega mi je Omnibus upravo stigao  ). Sve u svemu, ne nadam se da će ovo biti ne znam kakav film, ali ako bude na nivou Wolverinea, ja ću biti zadovoljan.

[Tex Murphy]

A jel Heimdall i u stripu CRNAC?

[Meho Krljic]

Naravno da nije.

[SIMERIJANAC]

I mitološki a i ovaj iz stripa.Crn da crnji ne može biti.

[Alex]

Ako bude na nivou Wolverinea biću totalno razočaran! Verujem da će biti bolji.

[Nightflier]

Upravo sam se vratio sa projekcije i više sam nego zadovoljan filmom. Kao što je Meho pomenuo, film se poprilično oslanja na Ultimate univerzum, koji je meni i inače u nekim aspektima primamljiviji od Marvelovog standardnog. Premda sam se pribojavao Hopkinsovog glumatanja i nesrećne estetike nagoveštene u trejlerima i promotivnom materijalu, Brana je uspeo da sve to izgleda funkcionalno i više nego pristojno. Ubedio me je i u Asgard i u Jotunhajm, a glumac koji igra Lokija je savršeno odabran za tu ulogu i potpuno me je kupio - kao i Tri ratnika.

Da se razumemo, film nema harizmu "Ajron Mena 2", ali to je pre svega zato što mu nedostaje RDJ. Apsolutna zvezda filma je Kenet Brana i zaista bih voleo da ga češće gledam kao režisera letnjih blokbastera.

Hopkins ne glumata, njegova gluma je engleski uzdržana, nije on Paćino.

Gde nađe harizmu Ajron Mena 2, filma koji je listom ocenjen slabijim od Ajron Men? Nadam se da se Tor ne svodi na prazne razgovore uz akciju na kašičicu, sa papirnatim negativcem?

[Nightflier]

Pa, ne znam kako su drugi ocenili IM2, ali meni je bio nemerljivo bolji od keca. A matori Hopkins poslednjih godina otaljava uloge.

[crippled_avenger]

Pogledao sam THOR Kennetha Branagha. Ne znam tačno šta da kažem o ovom filmu, nisam neki poznavalac stripova o ovom junaku, čitao sam tek ponešto i to novije, ali ono što je sasvim sigurno jeste da je reč o junaku čije su avanture na granici filmičnosti, i da logika dešavanja u ovoj priči ima dosta ozbiljnih problema koji zapravo čine sam film dosta nepovezanim u dramskom smislu. Thorov izgon na Zemlju, kao takav ima funkciju u priči, ali njegovi odnosi sa Zemljanima, smrtnicima, nemaju znatnijeg uticaja na globalnu priču oko koje se sve vrti, a to je unutardvorska intriga u Asgardu.

THOR je usled svega ovoga jedno polovično iskustvo, mešavina žive slikovnice za fanove stripa i ne naročito razvijenog avanturističkog filma o dvorskim intrigama. Čudi tako krupan propust da Thor, osim što upozna Nathalie Portman, na Zemlji zapravo nema znatniji učinak.

Koliko god sam Asgard bio živopisno koncipiran, reč je o jednom prilično jednoličnom settingu, krajnje artificijelnom do granice negledljivosti čiji bi dizajneri mogli da nauče od drugih filmova smeštenih u slične svetove u kojima ipak postoji utisak da ih neko naseljava i da tu ima nekog života. U THORu je deo deo u Asgardu potpuno neuverljiv i sterilan.

Kada se Thor nađe u Novom Meksiku, tu stvari živnu jer su karakteri živopisni a postoji i culture clash na kome se bazira sukob među likovima. Međutim, deo u Novom Meksiku gotovo da nema značaja za priču. Dakle, THOR je najbolji u najmanje važnim deonicama.

Angažovanje Kennetha Branagha kao reditelja je više nekakav medijski stunt nego suštinsko rešenje za koncept filma. THOR nije film u kome je on na bilo koji način unosi inovaciju u Marvelov superherojski univerzum. Pre svega u filmu ovoliko opterećenom specijalnim efektima, uloga reditelja njegovog profila svedena je na minimum jer je ionako pola filma napravljeno u postprodukciji.

Kad je reč o glumačkom segmentu ni tu Kenneth nije imao šta da doprinese. Tony Hopkins i ekipa ionako glume ono svoje a Chris Hemsworth nije ništa ni bolji ni gori od nekog prosečnog mišićavog "igrača zadatka". To je sve okej ali ništa što mora da sprovede eminentni karakterni glumac.

Otud, THOS je manje-više mogao da snimi bilo ko, ali problem je što je reč o stripu koji zahteva reditelja kadrog da znatno transformiše materijal ne bi li uopšte u njemu bilo filma.

Sad čekamo nastavak koji će se zvati THORS.

[crippled_avenger]

THOR je bio vreo?

[Father Jape]

Hopkins ne glumata, njegova gluma je engleski uzdržana, nije on Paćino.

A matori Hopkins poslednjih godina otaljava uloge.

Obojica poslednjih godina otaljavaju uloge.
A i same uloge su im krs.

[Filmovanje]

Odličan film. Za one koji vole i veruju u bajke. S hepiendom. Za one koji su čitali stripove. Za one koji su u duši romantični. Za one koji veruju u čuda. I da ljudi nisu zli... Za sve kauboje i indijance. I za one koji su verovali da je Tor mogao da bude i Banović Strahinja, Car Lazar, Vuk Branković, Miloš Obilić...

Bože, gde li Popboks pronalazi ovakve kritičare? Očajno glupava recenzija. Zamalo da je postavim u "možel biti..." rubriku.

http://www.popboks.com/tekst.php?ID=8375

Napisana kao izlaganje voditeljke sa Pinka, koja ne zna ništa o stripu ili nordijskoj mitologiji, gledala je skoro Green Hornet, pa ga jedino sa njime može da uporedi (?!!), a na internetu je našla neke podatke o drugim skorašnjim strip ekranizacijama i njihovim rediteljima, za koje joj je neko rekao da su nezanimljivi, kao Tor.

[Kunac]

Alex, nemoj da si tako strog. Tek je počeo da radi. Pa još za dž.

[Alex]

Alex, nemoj da si tako strog. Tek je počeo da radi. Pa još za dž.

Već smo na ovom forumu, povodom sasvim 10-e teme dotakli pitanje, da li rad za dž ili sitne pare opravdava loš rezultat. To je duga priča, ali nema srećan kraj za one koji tako rade.

[Kunac]

Nisam pročitao tekst, ali ne može biti valjda baš tako loš!

[M.M]

Ne bih da pljujem po filmu koji nisam pogledao, ali, kao velikom poštovaocu i obožavaocu rada Keneta Brane, ništa mi nije jasno. Kenet Brana je režirao holivudski blokbaster!? Prosto neverovatno. Ne sumnjam da je on to uradio odlično, ali opet... Verovatno ih je Majkl Bej otkačio, a Brani bilo dosadno...

[Usul]

Sećam se da sam jednom gledao program gde su intervjuisali Kopolu skoro sat vremena i sve to ispred publike sastavljene od omladine koja studira glumu. U jednom trenutku studenti su mogli da ga pripitaju po jedno pitanje. Jedan ga je upitao: "Why did you made Godfather 3 after so many years?" i Kopola je odgovorio sa smirenošću budiste - "I needed the money."

Nekako mi se čini da i Brana nije gadljiv na novac, posebno ako posle toga može da snimi još poneki šekspirov komad.

[Alex]

Prava istina je da strip Tor ima šekspirijanske elemente. U tome je štos.

[Usul]

Izjave tog tipa meni izgledaju baš besmisleno. Šta znači da nešto ima šekspirovske elemente? Jel to ono kao govori o nečemu o čemu je govorio Šekspir u svojim dramama? Šekspir je govorio, bolje reći pisao, o skoro svemu vezanom za odnose među ljudima. Tako da skoro sve može da potpadne pod stav - "ima šekspirovkse elemente" čak i nešto kao lion king.

Ako nategnemo još malo tu ideju možemo očekivati Branu kako režira neki pornić smešten u elizabetansko doba (a Geoffrey Chaucer je već napisao predložak).

[Alex]

Lion King je inspirisan Hamletom.

[Meho Krljic]

To jest Kimbom, Bijelim lavom koji je sam bio inspirisan Hamletom.

Što se Tora tiče, nije netačno da tu ima malo šekspirovske dvorske tragedije, Simonson je voleo, što jeste-jeste, ali teško mi je da zamislim da je u filmu ostalo mnogo od SImonsona.

[Usul]

Lion king je definitivno bio los izbor za ono sto sam hteo da kazem mea culpa

I dalje smatram da je veoma nategnuto stanoviste da tor ima sekspirovskih elemenata. (glumci u kostimima, dvor, zavere...) ima svega toga i u antickim dramama ili u bilo kojoj mitologiji (nordijskoj, grckoj itd. - izuzev glumaca u kostimima)

Brana je svestan da nije sve u sekspiru pa se okrece i komercijalnijim poduhvatima kao Tor ili Wallander. I nema tu nista lose.
