Thor Movie

**Van Custo** · 01-10-2007, 12:44 AM

So I was thinking..what would people like to see happen here?

Keep a "norse" old type warrior look like a real viking god or go the more modern way like ultimates and make it like "oh is he really a god or just some nut in a suit"

should they get into the off planet stuff? asgard and all that?

or just keep it on earth for the most part...

i think it'd be a huge mistake to turn thor into spiderman and just keep him on earth and make him some hippie like in ultimates lol not that i dont like ultimate thor :p

but i'd want a really epic feel to it sorta like lord of the rings had

what type of plots you'd like to see? which characters and villains?

On July 23, 2006 at the 2006 Comic Con it was announced Marvel was already in the works for a Thor movie. I just hope it doesn't end up like this... http://youtube.com/watch?v=tWmHEF_PT8E

Personally, I'd like to see more of an actual Norse god in a modern setting. I thinki it would be intresting to have him trying to get used to a completley new time while the new timeis trying to get used to him as well.

I'd use Asgard for only a little bit, make a cameo or origin sequence. Loki should be the primary foe, but I'd down play the god angle with him, saying that unlike Thor, he's been around and has had more time to adjust to the world.

Does anybody remember the Thor who appeared in that old Hulk movie? I liked that guy.

With a little bit of hair dye, I think Sean Bean could play the part.

I'm not sure if it should be in Asgard more than on Earth or vice-versa, but I do think the villain has to be Loki.

Last i heard about the Thor film it sounded like a bit of a Lord of the Rings rip-off...

It was in an Avi Arad interview in SFX. Didn't fill me with confidence.

If they stick to a Norse setting, then the actor would have to have long red hair and a mustache. If they go with the comic world (most likely) then yes, Triple H might do well. But, I think they should go along with 'Superman' and pick a virtually unknown actor to do it. There has to be a few big blonde god-like folks over in Norway or Sweden who could pull it off. My choice would be Vladimir Kulich, who played 'Buliwyf' in 'The 13th Warrior'. Awesome movie...there is nearly two hours of unreleased footage out there somewhere...bastards.

Stick on Earth... Make it a fun, whimsical quasi re-make of the camply fantastic and humourlessly dubbed Hercules in New York

(I'm joking of course)

Of all Marvel's properties, I firmly believe that Thor is one that best remains on the page and not on the big screen - too conceptually tricky for the average cinema going punter.

Damn, that was terrible footage. I was always afraid for that Hulk when I was little.. Lou Ferrigno looked really scary with that green makeup and green eyes.. But, that Thor. Jesus he looks corny!!

Seriosly..seriosly...anyone bringing up wrestlers and any other random guy with big muscles needs to die. lmao

seriosly now why do you want to doom the movie before its even made

especialy someone like triple h who cant act for ****. even for a wreslter hes horrible.

and THIS ISN'T "WHO SHOULD PLAY THOR" thread lol Plus I'm pretty sure they announced that punk ass nephew of john travolta got the part.

and what about adapting one of the already done thor storylines from the comics? of curse thered be differences here and there as always with movies. like walt simonsons surtur story...but that would prbly be better for a sequal

I think Karl Urban would be perfect for the role.

I think I'd play with the original concept a bit. Lee and Kirby touched on something real interesting, although they kind of lost the human aspect as superhero wackiness took over the book - a handicapped man suddenly in posession of the most capable body ever. Like I said, I'd play with the concept a bit - maybe make Blake a combat doctor who lost his leg in the war?
