THOR To Start In January

Some small production news broke on Production Weekly’s official Twitter account (via our mates at JoBlo), that Kenneth Branagh’s THOR will be starting production this coming January! The quote is as follows:

Marvel’s “Thor” is scheduled to begin in LA mid-January, then move to Santa Fe, New Mexico from March till late-April.

I am very stoked to see what comes of this film, mainly because I LOVE the idea of Branagh in the director’s chair for something other than a Shakespeare adaptation. I also have high hopes for the mighty Chris Hemsworth as the mythical title hero after his awesome (yet brief) performance in this past year’s STAR TREK. And of course there is the wonderful Natalie Portman, but I think we all are confident in her abilities.

Anyone else excited to see this?
