And needless to say, working on scripts by the amazing Robert Rodi has been a ride of pure joy and a lot of fun – so go out there and buy at least 10 copies each.”

Marvel Studios and Lionsgate Home Entertainment have released the trailer for their next animated movie – Thor: Tales of Asgard. Those who bought the Planet Hulk direct to DVD movie yesterday already saw it, but for those of us who are waiting for the weekend an that big big paycheck (hey, I can dream), this should tide you over.
Agent Coulson to appear in Thor flick
Clark Gregg, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent that appeared in the first Iron Man movie is reprising his role in both Iron Man 2 and the Kenneth Branagh Thor flick.
The character is the latest to appear in multiple Marvel productions as the comicbook company’s film division preps for the eventual production of “The Avengers,” which unites Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America and Thor in one pic. Marvel has been keen on brokering deals with actors to make sure auds will recognize characters when they crossover and appear in its other films.
It make sense, and it is something I greatly appreciate. At least they aren’t pulling a Billy Dee Williams with this character.
Stuart Townsend out of Thor movie
The Associated Press is running a piece that says Stuart Townsend has left the Kenneth Branaugh production of Thor. Townsend was playing Fandral before leaving the production citing creative differences. Joshua Dallas has stepped up to the part, although the article says that information comes from anonymous sources.
It’s a good thing Dallas was selected, as shooting started today, and with the released date moved up to May 6, 2011, Dallas better hope he’s up to the task.
Adriana Barraza joining Thor cast

Thor begins shooting next week in California, and is expected to arrive in theaters on May 6, 2010 2011.
