Robert Rodat To Rewrite ‘Thor 2′

• Rodat on Thor 2? well, damn — that can only improve it. We all know Rodat has got super bona fides. Solid writer. Man, the script he inherits must have been a mess for folks to resort to a “Break Glass In Case of Emergency” stratagem.

• I’m really surprised Roger Avary didn’t get this job. He’s so agreeable and fun and pleasant to work with. Wait a second – he’s not back in jail again, is he?

• Irrelevant when we have a journeyman in the place of a bona fide auteur, Sir Ken Branaugh.

• How hard can it be to read a bunch of comic books and come up with a script. All the work’s been done for you.

  • Very good point. When you think about it writing any movie is easy. It’s just thinking of things for people to say.

    Can’t believe this guy is still getting work after that travesty of a Warcraft script he turned in.

• Because a lot of Thor comics are awful and geared towards geek fantasy rather than mainstream success. There is a reason people were so worried about Thor doing well, Marvel itself can’t do Thor well half the time.

  I hope the changes have got nothing to do with Natalie’s involvement considering she was allegedly so upset with Patty leaving. Jane was one of my favourite things about the first film

• This matters.
  But… not as much as the fact that Kenneth Branagh is not returning to direct.

• Um the first one wasn’t very good…..at all….so I don’t see the big deal that Branagh is not returning sometimes people really get stuck in the name, the first movie was okayish at best so LOL at people pretending the great “auteur” Sir Kenneth Branagh not returning will doom this project he did nothing special.
