Choose Wisely

Director Kenneth Branagh spoke with rhe gang over at IGN Movies about progress on the film adaptation of the comic book hero Thor..

"We're planning that one. We're having a great time at the moment. We're in intense pre-production" says Branagh.

A second series of Branagh's"Wallander" TV movies has been ordered, and the year-long delay of "Thor" means the actor/filmmaker is able to handle both of the projects:

"I shoot Thor in January of next year and because the time of release has been moved, it's allowed me to have a moment in the summer where I can shoot the Wallanders...strangely, there's a weird, pleasing connection between the Swedish Wallander and the Nordic Thor."



"Wallander" co-star Tom Hiddleston (pictured) is one of the potential candidates for the lead role - "He, amongst a number of others, has been part of the group we've spoken to and all that's still a work in progress" says Branagh.

The delay affords the filmmakers to be a bit more picky casting the lead--Hope the right choice is made...
