Thanks to G4 for the video interview...



Bendis went on to explain why he believes the Thor movie will the biggest surprise of Marvel’s upcoming film slate:

“Thor is an extravaganza,” said Bendis. “The artwork is unbelievable… They flew us all here because Kenneth Branagh wanted to tell us his Thor movie and he pitched it live. It was Shakespearean and went on for hours.”

“He wasn’t high selling it,” continued Bendis. “He is an actor and he just sold it. I looked to Joe [Quesada] and went ‘Isn’t this fun?’ When he was done, we were like ‘Great! You should do that!’”

I'm glad the reception for thor is already good. Branagh will own that movie. Can't believe i gotta wait till 2011. Thor will rock. Spiderman 4 will be reused crap. And Green Lantern will be the start of a new era for DC.

Thanks Freshman

Thor's gonna be great and Cap is gonna be great too! Marvel
respects their own characters in CBM's and it shows!

Leee@' you really think Ackles is gay don't you, with that
sparkly thingy for Hawkeye but Ackles has always appeared very manly to me and his girlfriend is gorgeous! He would make a good Hawkeye tho'!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/7/2009, 7:09 PM
Weapon @ DDD @ Sparkles, ya gotta luv 'em!!

Heyyyyy Ackles ain't G*Y! ; D

An yeah if, they get LEO or someone to fill CAPS boots, i want Ackles in there as HAWKEYE! He screams HAWKEYE!!
DDD
DDD - 10/7/2009, 7:16 PM
Leee@, I was being sarcastic with the sparkles and Ackles
gay joke!

You have your right to not want Ackles to play Cap and to
play Hawkeye just as others have their right to want Ackles
for Cap. I thought of Ackles for Hawkeye too before all
this Jensen for Cap madness! lol

I'm not that vehement about whoever plays Cap! Just want
the best actor for the job who can make Cap come alive on
the silver screen!

I still think they need to be careful with how they handle Thor - if it ends up too much like Lord of the Rings in both setting and running time its going to put offa HUGE amount of the general movie going audience. I just hope that Brannagh remembers that this is a superhero movie and not just an Asgardian LOTR!

Bendis' involvement doesnt inspire too much hope in me either - some of his stuff can be ok but he isnt a great writer IMO.

The running time for a movie should never matter as long as the film holds its audience. Thor should be at least two hours and intertwine all elements of the characters. I as well as others would have no interest in an hour and a half Thor movie, or any other superhero driven movie. Length plus quality is a great thing, and no penis jokes please.

was there a Japanese Moon Knight tv series made in the 80's LEEE?I remember reading about it years ago in a Moon Knight comic, which I'm trying to dig out now!
FORTAPACHE
FORTAPACHE - 10/7/2009, 8:40 PM
it also says he was gonna be called Moonblood originally, with silver gauntlets(to fight werewolf by night)this might take me a while to find this issue(it was a special)sorry!it has original plans for his helicopter in it too, they looked terrible tho, basically a helicopter with a half crescent moon stuck on the back of it!vertically I need to add!

@ assassin

because luffy is a prick. he knows everyone gets annoyed by them. countless people have told him that shit is annoying. yet he insists on posting crappy anime videos that no one cares about. and not only does he post them, but he posts them IN EVERY ARTICLE, WITH EVERY COMMENT! and he never even really says anything except, "could be good." or, "cool", or "looks dumb".

@ luffy
we get the goddamn point you douche, quit with that shit!
CaptainAmerica
CaptainAmerica - 10/7/2009, 10:43 PM

Thor is shaping up to be incredibly bad-ass. 2011 can't arrive fast enough.

shibazz - 10/7/2009, 11:25 PM
I know you all are gonna hate me for this.... buuuuut, i kinda like the anime vids... they are cool and better than most the animation we saw in a lot of movies this summer. So thats that i guess. I am prepared for the "Shunning". Bring it on boyos
ASSASSIN666
ASSASSIN666 - 10/7/2009, 11:29 PM
Corndog- This clown is on his way to being the new supermike, especially since supermike seems to have retired. You get rid of one and then the next one moves right in, f**ks!
DDD
DDD - 10/8/2009, 12:15 AM
Luffy is Laffy Taffy and he knows it! Damn annoying loopy
Lunatic! He'll just keep on with the charade till he gets
bored with it just like Mike!

Shibazz no shunning on my part but all you are doing is
encouraging the lil' devil! Geez, pleez don't do that!
Enough already Fluffy-Luffy, it's getting old!
WeaponX
WeaponX - 10/8/2009, 12:20 AM
@shibazz - Yeah, Japanese anime is far superior to American cartoons, but still, spamming them on every article is just [frick]ing obnoxious. Wouldn't you agree?



DDD
DDD - 10/8/2009, 12:42 AM
Yep, bring on Moonknight! Is it that hard to make a
Moonknight movie or series! He is one of the coolest
characters in Marvel!

Thor is shaping up to be exceptionally epic! Sitting on
pins & needles waiting fer this one!
DDD
DDD - 10/8/2009, 3:34 AM
That's right Tea@, WBN is the original comic book that
spawned them. It needs to be done and I thought it was but
I guess not!
