More stuff on Thor
So this is what, my third post on Thor? Out of like 6 total? It looks like alot of great stuff is happening, and today i saw two interviews about the movie. The first is with Tom Hiddleston, the man who will be Loki. I think hes a good enough choice. I kind of wanted James Purefoy for the part, but Hiddleston certainly looks like an evil god.
When talking about the character, he definately has a good idea. He compares him to a bunch of Shakespearean characters, as being this conniving sorceror. This sounds great, and I always thought of Loki as being more like Iago from Othello. His true menace has nothing to do with socerery. Its all about his ability to deceive, to send characters to their demise without actually raising his blade. Thats just awesome.
The other interview was with the co-writer of the script, Ashley Miller. Now this was a great interview. The highlight of the interview was when Miller said she came close to putting in Frog Thor. So it looks like she really knows her Thor stuff. But she really tried to make Thor a fighter. Not “dark”, but gritty. Seeing Thor take a pounding, and then fighting back. Apparently, theres going to be blood and grime and all that good stuff. Everything about the interview sounded great, and I think i think im looking forward to this movie more than any other comic book adaptation, Batman 3 included.
