Thor in 2010
Hollywood had adapted many stories of Marvel superheroes in the last few years. But till then one was definitely missing: The Mighty Thor.
Seems like the son of Odin, the Norse warrior, is going to have his own movie quite soon.
Indeed screenwriter Mark Protosevich has been writing a script for a live-action Thor film. According to him: "It's going to be like a superhero origin story, but not one about a human gaining super powers, but of a God realizing his true potential. [...] It will be mythic, but also bear the unmistakable qualities of a Marvel movie, an epic fantasy adventure."
The movie will be directed by Kenneth Branagh.
Filming should start in late 2009. For now director Kenneth Branagh and screenwriter Mark Protosevich are streamlining the initial Thor script in order to bring down the budget from a first astronomic $300 million to a more manageable $150 million.
Here what has leaked from the plot:
"Partially disabled medical student Dr. Donald Blake discovers his heretofore unknown alter ego, the Norse warrior, Thor." (Source: IMDb)
I'm glad they adapt this Marvel comics superhero. I hope they will stick enough to the orginal story of the mighty Thor.

I'm First! LOL. From what I heard Triple H is supossed to play the role of Thor. Not a bad choice if you ask me. Blond hair, and muscles, just like Thor.
That could work! ha ha
Looking forward to it.
who is triple H
First of all Thor is not a warrior, he is a GOD. The God of Thunder to be exact. He is also not a superhero, and ABSOLUTELY CANNOT be portrayed as a disabled medical student. I mean really, a MEDICAL STUDENT? come on, this movie also SHOULD not, and CANNOT be set in modern day. It would be acceptable if the story were more like this (and don't even TRY to say that I'm not even a screenwriter because I don't care) Thor pisses off Oden (and yes that IS how it's spelled) somehow and is sent to earth to pay pennance (in Viking times I should add)and becomes a kind hearted god who protects mankind from various evils.
Personally I think the only way they can do justice to Thor is to use CG. As long as they don't use that stupid axe/hammer thing either way.
