News regarding Marvel's much anticipated adaption of the Mighty Avenger
THOR, has been dull with the studio now focused on shooting
Captain America. And while the film is still in the late editing & 3D conversion stage, director Kenneth Branagh recently sat down with Jack Giroux of
Film School Reject, where he discusses look & tone of the film, Asgard, and also avoiding what many fans fear: cheesiness.
"We were always trying to look at it and see what you saw in the comic and try to re-imagine it. [It was] going back to the original source, and that got everybody excited. You want to try to be pure and classical with it, but bring a new twist.”
“[With] the production we wanted a mammoth quality Asgard with having monumental buildings. If you walk around the city of Rome and you look up at any street corner there’s just an emissivity that would have kept people visiting that place in ancient Rome bored.”
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, and Natalie Portman,
THOR storms into theaters May 6, next year in 3D!
