Some time ago we reported that there was indeed a Thor movie in development. It still is, but apparently there is a new writer attached to it. Poseidon scribe Mark Protosevich has now taken over the Vallhalah (sp?) assignment.
What I find interesting is how he describes the project. I’m not a Thor fan, but I’d be curious to see what Thor fans think of this. The following is from the good folks at AICN:
“In the comics, the stories that appealed to me most were the features called ‘Tales of Asgard,’ ” CAA-repped Protosevich said. “They were very much based on the traditional Norse myths and how the relationship between being like Thor and Loki and Thor and Odin, and how these beings manifested themselves. I don’t want to give too much away, but I will say the movie will take place in the world of myth and legend but will not betray some of the thematic elements of the comics that made them so appealing, like the idea of a god growing to truly understand man.”
What do you guys think? That that sound consistent with the comic or is it a new approach. I’m sure Doug will have something to say about it on The Audio Edition tonight.
