Stellan Skarsgård Joins “Thor”
Stellan Skarsgård will star in Marvel Studios’ “Thor” according to the man himself through Swedish news site Ystads Allehanda.
Stellan is not the only Skarsgård linked to this Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of the Marvel comic adaptation. In early 2009, his son Alexander Skarsgard was listed among the potential candidates to portray the titular character, Thor. However, the younger Skarsgard lost the role to Chris Hemsworth, the actor who portrays Captain Kirk’s father in 2009’s “Star Trek”.
Everything is still secret about the project and Skarsgård can not reveal what role he will play.
“They wanted me to sign without reading the script. That I refused to do. Then they sent one to me that was so coded that I could only print one copy,”
said Stellan Skarsgård to TT spectra.
“The Other Guys” Begins Filming
Principal photography begins today on Columbia Pictures’ action-comedy “The Other Guys,” starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The film is directed by Adam McKay (Step Brothers, The Procedure, The Landlord) and written by Adam McKay & Chris Henchy(Land of the Lost). The film is a co-production between Gary Sanchez Productions and Mosaic. Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, Jimmy Miller, and Patrick Crowley produce. David Householter, Chris Henchy and Kevin Messick are the Executive Producers. Jessica Elbaum and Josh Church serve as Co-Producers.
Set in New York City, “The Other Guys” follows Detective Allen Gamble (Ferrell), a forensic accountant who’s more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets, and Detective Terry Hoitz (Wahlberg), who has been stuck with Allen as his partner ever since an embarrassing public incident with his quick trigger finger. Allen and Terry idolize the city’s top cops, Danson and Manzetti (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson), but when an opportunity arises for the Other Guys to step up, things don’t quite go as planned.

You can also see Robert Downey Jr. on the cover of Entertainment Weekly’s Comic-Con preview issue and Mickey Rourke as Whiplash wearing his armor suit with a power pack on his chest that looks similar to that of Iron Man’s.
Whiplash is the alter ego of Ivan Vanko, a Russian who, Favreau says, “has constructed his own version of a suit.” Among the creative alterations: a pair of whips, powered by the suit’s glowing chest piece, expected to keep Iron Man cracking. Whiplash “is going to light them up,” says Rourke.
“Iron Man 2″ also stars Don Cheadle as Jim Rhodes, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, , Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer.
The film is set to hit U.S. theaters on May 7, 2010.
