Word is Kenneth Branagh's adap of Marvel's Thor is the secret screening at this years SXSW(South By Southwest Conference And Festival)



South by Southwest (SXSW) is a set of film, interactive and music festivals and conferences that take place every spring (usually in March) in Austin, Texas, United States. They generally focus on up and coming directors and new talent so for a big blockbuster like Thor to screen there would have to be considered a bit unusual, although SXSW has become one of the world's premier film festivals over the last few years. Apparently there is a screening tonight and then another on Monday.

Chris Hemsworth himself is definitely there, whether more of the cast and director Kenneth Branagh are is unknown for now. Keep an eye out for more news from SXSW as some interviews and maybe even some reactions to the screening are bound to hit at some point.

Update: This appears to have been a rumor started by a spastic over at Pajiba. See Comedian's article above for details.

I found out that single-admission tickets are only $5-$65. I might be able to attend if I only want to see the Thor screening!! Although I have to call ahead and see if they're offering that for the Thor screening.

I'm not seeing Thor appear on the SXSW film schedule. Do you have any idea what time it's supposed to show?

@Lert, no, your mother. Gotta keep her busy after all.

@Indo, nah it's supposed to be a secret see! It's an AICN screening so maybe details will follow now that the cat is out of the bag.

Awww man. I need to call them about it but I don't want the person I'm talking with to be like "Secret Thor screening? WTF are you talking about?"

Also.... AICN = Ain't It Cool News? I just visited their website and they said a lot about their screening happening on Monday. Is it supposed to be happening today as well as tomorrow?

Harry Knowles made it sound like it's for any one of his fans that attends.

I think this is a pretty smart move by marvel, its going to help them get some feedback and get some early reviews out there.

Guys, I just got off the phone with Harry Knowles (I shit thee not) about the screening. The rumor's a fake. Sorry.

@MOVIELORD101

Then how do you explain this?

Very very cool. I can't help but wonder why they picked this particular one.

Maybe it was chosen because it's so classy?

It could be a bad thing to show the movie, what if it gets leaked online weeks before it comes out? Then the movie will not sell alot.

all i see is that "IF" they are showing it, the show wont be until 10:15 tomorrow night!

After the leaked trailer incident, they should be careful with advanced showings. It could be X-MEN ORGINS all over again, but with a better movie.
