Thor gets a poster [10th December 2010 03:31:01]

Thor will smash his way onto the big screen when his first movie enters cinemas next year. And Marvel aren't about to let us forget it. A few images from the comic adap cropped up online earlier this year, and now the film's first poster has been revealed. Dark, simplistic and moody, it downplays the campiness that the project has been accused of, and really plays around with texture - from the big guy's metallic suit to the red cape and the stone hammer. Thor follows the titular God, an arrogant warlord who's tried his father Odin's (Anthony Hopkins) patience too many times. Banished to Earth, Thor must learn how to live among humans - which isn't as bad as all that after he meets gorgeous scientist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman). Source: www.totalfilm.com

Thor frost giants revealed [26th October 2010 07:16:09]

Thor is edging ever closer to its 2011 release, and thanks to the film's upcoming toyline, we've just gotten our first look at the franchise's frostbitten baddies. A snap of the movie's toyline has revealed the look of the Etins, giants who dwell in Jotunheim - one of the nine worlds in an Asgardian realm - and are forever fighting the Asgard Gods in an attempt to plunge their kingdom into "eternal night". Somehow, despite the micro-obsessed nature of the internet, there have been no leaks thus far exposing director Kenneth Branagh's vision for the Etins. Which is probably more surprising than the look of the figure itself, which recalls the creatures that populated a certain other recent blue-skinned epic. Still, this is just the toy version - we hold out hope that the film version will be ten times cooler. Source: www.totalfilm.com
