Director Kenneth Branagh (Frankenstein, Hamlet) is in final negotiations to helm the big screen adaption of Thor, the latest Marvel property to be brought to live action glory by Marvel Studios.
The comic adaptation, written by Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend), follows the disabled medical student Donald Blake, who’s alter-ego is the hammer-weilding Norse god, Thor.
Thor is scheduled for release Summer 2010.

Y The Last Man Vol. 5In this final Deluxe Edition hardcover collecting Y #49-60, Yorick and Agent 355 prepare for their ultimate quest to reunite the last man with his lost love, while the person, people or thing behind the disaster that wiped out half of humanity is revealed. Then, Yorick Brown's long journey through an Earth populated only by women comes to its dramatic, unexpected conclusion.
Hmm this could be good or bad. I’ve only seen his adaptations of Much Ado About Nothing and Othello, but i heard his frankenstein was bad.
His Hamlet is awesome- if, ya know, you go for 4 hour Shakespeare fests. But there’s this little great gem of a movie he made with then wife Emma Thompson called Dead Again which is one of my absolute favorite movies. It was a cool old fashioned murder mystery with kind of a modern twist. Good little flick.
So, he does have range past Shakespeare/classics.
his Frankenstein was pretty awful, this is an interesting decision, he’s pretty hit and miss.
Alsdo apparently there is no Donald Blake in this Thor
I’m a total drama geek, so this is pretty exciting to me. I still would’ve loved Mathew Vaugn to direct, but at least with Branagh we know we’ll be getting something interesting. Something with vision.
Should be very interesting, indeed.
