Variety announced that none other than Kenneth Branagh will be directing Thor.
Here’s the scoop:
Kenneth Branagh is negotiating to direct “Thor,” the next Marvel Comics property that will be turned into a live-action film by Marvel Studios. Pic will be released in 2010.
Can’t get much cooler than that in my opinion. Branagh has directed a few great movies (Henry V, Dead Again, Frankenstein) and the man is a genius when it comes to the sort of Shakespearian dialogue required of the Norse God Thor.
So… Chew on that.

Wow–I couldn’t for the life of me figure how a Thor movie could not suck.
But this is a great idea.
I’d actually go see this.

The important thing will be casting Keanu and Denzel as brothers again…

We can only hope it’s not as shitty as his version of Frankenstein.
