MOVIE: The Avengers begins shooting today
In case you missed it, The Avengers movie begins shooting today, and Joss Whedon couldn’t be more excited.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: The Avengers will be massive
The Avengers movie will need to start ramping up production soon if it hopes to pull in the fans of the Marvel film franchises. The big question floating around is, “How good of a film will the Avengers be?” Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor, got a peek at the film and thinks it is going to be huge.
“I saw a very early draft and, yeah, it’s incredible… Look, everything about the story in the comic books is huge. You have these huge, big superheroes and these huge, big egos kind of crammed into one small space. Reading the script, it was massive. Everything about it was like ‘oh my god.’ I said to Joss [Whedon], ‘I don’t know how you’re going to shoot this thing,’ but I’m excited to be on-board and let’s give it a go.”
So there you go. It will be massive. Huge. Crammed with egos. Probably the most important part about the quote is toward the end, when he wonders how the film will be shot. No doubt everything will come together at the end, but massive effects work tied to a massive story are going to require the skills of very talented people, and if the story turns out to be a Kree/Skrull war then the effects houses in H’wood are going to be very busy.
SDCC’10: It’s official Joss Whedon to direct Avengers movie
There have been rumblings and rumors that Joss Whedon was all set to direct the Avengers movie for Marvel, and today he made it official at the Marvel Studios panel.
“The thing I love about it is how completely counter-intuitive it is,” confessed Whedon. “These people should not be in the same room, much less the same team. The very definition of family.”
I think Whedon should do just fine with this project as he’s no stranger to ensemble tales, and this may be his chance to tell his most epic story yet.

Dollhouse gets the axe, good news for Dr. Horrible fans
With the number of times Fox has dumped Joss Whedon shows, you’d have expect him to call it quits with the network for good. Dollhouse, the Eliza Dushku sci-fi thriller, was axed after lower than expected ratings for the second season.
“Yes. Canceled. Sad but true,” tweeted Maurissa Tancharoen, a writer on “Dollhouse” who is married to Whedon’s brother Jed Whedon, also a writer on the show.
What’s a Whedon to do? Can you say, “Doctor Horrible Sing-Along Blog sequel”? Of course you can, and of course he is.
