Ken, is there anything that you were able to do, on a film of this size, that you previously haven’t been able to? Kenneth: "Spend some money, but not carte blanche. What’s exciting is that Kevin and Marvel are so determined that we have to deliver spectacle, not only in the execution of visual effects, but also in the concept of visual effects, really trying to push the envelope, every time. Then, if you have an idea, if you have inspiration and if the creativity is flowing, it’s possible for it to be expressed and encouraged. It all costs money and, at some point, you have to have difficult conversations in that way, but basically, the prime thing is, "How can we make this the best it can be, on a scale that it needs to have and at an intense pitch?" -
Who was the first person you wanted to cast for the film? Kenneth: "We felt as though the only possible place to start was Thor, and that it had to be somebody we hadn’t seen before. We knew we were going to begin a great big search for that, and somebody needed to walk into the room and be prepared to work out and be a sensitive actor, at the same time. Eventually, we stroke gold with Mr. Hemsworth." -
Now that some of the footage has been seen, you can see how it looks like the Iron Man films. Was that done intentionally? Were there things that you purposely put into it, to keep with the Marvel look? Kenneth: "There is the integration of story elements. For instance, you saw how Thor interacts with S.H.I.E.L.D. I think you’ll see that we have the chance, in various parts of it, to just expand out. Because of the nature of the places we go to, I think you’ll find that it adds up into something that belongs, but that also has a very distinct flavor. An important thing we wanted to do at Comic-Con is show how Thor fits into The Avengers world. It can live there, but it also brings a pretty exotic thing that is going to be much more present in the film." THOR is set to hit theatres on May 6, 2011.
