Will the REAL Thor Show Thyself....

If you were wondering what Richard Grieco (TV's "Booker") is up to these days, well wonder no more. It seems that The Asylum, notorious for producing titles that capitalize on productions by major studios, is releasing their own Thor movie called Almighty Thor. But the best part is that Richard Grieco will be playing Loki. (Yes, that is Loki on the right.)



From Wikipedia:

"When the demon god Loki (Richard Grieco) destroys the fortress of Valhalla and steals the Hammer of Invincibility, only the young hero Thor (Cody Deal) can protect Earth from Armageddon."

For those of you hoping to see this in the theaters as well, it is a direct-to-video release only. Almighty Thor is scheduled for May 10, 2011, which is 4 days after Marvel's own Thor movie arrives in theaters here in the U.S.

Also starring are Kevin Nash (yep, the wrestler) as Odin (with both his eyes in tact), Patricia Velásquez as Járnsaxa (??), and newcomer Cody Deal as Thor. And unfortunately, it looks as if there will be no helmets in this film.

I love how they do things like this in the hope that some poor grand parent will get mixed up and buy it for their grandchildren thinking that is the Hollywood Blockbuster sharing a similar name!

This actually looks better than Marvel's Thor.... Hahahah! Just kidding of course! Made you look though, didn't I Intruder? ;) Hehehe!
As if I needed an argument to not watch this, the article mentions Kevin Nash as Odin... Oh yeah, really excited now. That first pic looks like the cover of an 80s pop rock/punk group entitled Black Tears of Berlin... which I made up... so don't waste your time looking for it on google.

Dumegg - 3/9/2011, 2:40 PM
@helagood-yeah, no doubt. and as we all know, loki is a....demon?
you got to wonder if they even picked up a norse mythology book or if they even heard of the word mythology.

I know Cody Deal, SUPER NICE GUY...SUPER NICE he used to train with me at my dojo in las vegas. I remember when he left he said he had a screen test for Thor. I assumed he meant the marvel movie and when they announced Chris i thought that sucked for Cody. Glad he is doing his thing and I will watch this movie.

Your joking right, Have at The! Sounds like SyFy would do something like this..
HelaGood
HelaGood - 3/9/2011, 3:02 PM
@Spock i wouldnt be surprised if we saw it on SyFy a bit earlier than the release on DVD.

ecksmanfan - 3/9/2011, 3:05 PM
@Amazo- you are correct! This is old news, been reported multiple times! Each time I see it...it turns me ill.

Still, it's not as bad as the Thor movie that SyFy put together a couple years back. It "starred" Zachery Ty Brian, the older son from Home Improvement. It was gawd aweful!
