Thor (2010) Movie

Marvel Reveals Thor and Captain America Details

Speaking of Marvel… Apparently when Kevin Feige, head of Marvel Studios, sent out invitations to online bloggers for a meet and greet, he forgot to send mine out. That’s okay, Kevin, next time, my man. In any case, Feige took questions and dished out answers about Marvel’s two high-profile movies coming up very soon — [...]

Brad Pitt as Thor: What Do You Think?

Forget for one moment that Marvel’s announced “Thor” movie no longer has a director, or even a star except a rumor about Brad Pitt being offered the role. What it does have is a sorta finished script by Mark Protosevic (”I am Legend”). Now forget all that stuff, and just concentrate on this question: Rumor [...]

Matthew Vaughn No Longer Directing Thor

Well this is interesting news. When Marvel Studios, buoyed by their massive “Iron Man” box office take was announcing their future slate earlier this week, this story showed up in The Hollywood Reporter but not a whole lot of people noticed a very important line about halfway into the article. What’s so interesting about it? [...]

To no one’s surprise, “Iron Man” cleaned up at the box office with a worldwide take of $200 million in its first week of release. With that in mind, it’s then no surprise that Marvel has already announced that “Iron Man 2″ will be coming our way very soon — as in, in 2010. Which [...]

Matthew Vaughn to Remake Israeli Thriller The Debt

While “Thor” fans are still wondering if Matthew Vaughn will ever get the chance to direct the live-action version of “Thor” (there are “Thor” fans wanting to know this, right?), they’ll at least be able to see something from their guy when Vaughn’s script, “The Debt”, a remake of an Israeli film, is made into [...]

Is the Wolverine and JLA Movie Doomed?

Something is a’brewin’ with two of next year’s most anticipated films: the X-Men spin-off “Wolverine” starring Hugh Jackman and the “Justice League of America” movie, or as it’s getting to be known around these parts, “Justice League 90210″.

Matthew Vaughn Talks Thor Movie

For some reason, I’m always surprised when Hollywood announces names of directors for comic book movies. More often than not, the first thought that comes to me is always something along the lines of, “Seriously? You’re going to let THIS guy direct a comic book movie?” But then they do their thing, and the finished [...]

After “Thor” finally scored a director in Matthew Vaughn, you knew it wouldn’t be long before the names started flying about who would actually play the lead in the movie. The first name to appear online was floated by IESB, who reported on it earlier this week. The name? Scottish actor Kevin McKidd, who can [...]

Matthew Vaughn To Direct Thor Movie

Despite the fact that people keep insisting that a Thor movie is on the way, I just never believed it would happen. Not only do I think the character will not translate to film very well, but, well, that’s basically it. We’re talking about a guy who dresses in a funky outfit, carries a hammer [...]

Silver Surfer Spin-off, Thor Movie Updates

So, uh, I guess this means the Silver Surfer doesn’t die, or turn into a human, or do anything of the wacky things that fans of the silver dude were probably worried might happen to their favorite character at the end of “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer”. Because if any of those things [...]

Marvel Studios: Then and Now; also, What’s Up with the Thor Movie?

You would be forgiven for thinking that Marvel Comics is rolling in the dough, with their creations dominating the box office with goliaths like “The X-Men”, “Fantastic Four”, and “Spider-Man” films. You would be forgiven for thinking this, but you would be very wrong. Forbes has an excellent article about how Marvel Comics is barely [...]
