Thor movie to be shot in Jan 2010

I remember reading Mavel comic's Thor when I was a teanager in the sixties. It got me interested in mythology. So thank you Stan (the man) Lee.

Thor is based on Norse mythology and is the thunder God. In themarvel comics version he was at times banished to Earth from Asgard by the All Father Odin (Wotan). His human alter ego was Dr. Richard Blake *if my memory serves me well - the sixties are kind of hazy through all that.... Never mind.

Anyway, Dr. Blake had a cane which turn to his hammer...

I'll write more about my memories later on.

For now I'm exited to hear that Marvel studios is making the Thor Movie

Thor Movie news

The director:
British Shakespearian actor and top director Kenneth Branagh is directing the adaptation of the Marvel comic for Marvel Studios which is now part of Disney I believe. Shooting is due to begin in mid-January in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

The actors:
Chris Hemsworth will star as Thor; Tom Hiddleston will play Loki the main nemesis, and Natalie Portman is the love interest nurse Jane Foster.

Latest news:
Idris Elba has joined the cast. Elba will play Heimdall; as the guardian of Asgard, he stands on the BiFrost Bridge ready to defend the city from intruders. This has caused some controversy as Elba is black and the Norse gods were supposed to be blond. As someone said having a black Nordic god is akin to having a blond Jesus.

The producer:
Kevin Feige is producing.
