Thor Movie news
Thor for Travolta's Nephew

HOLLYWOOD - John Travolta's nephew Rikki Lee Travolta has reportedly landed the role of Thor in an upcoming film adaptation of the Marvel comic book character.

The Broadway star, who was among those considered to play James Bond after producers decided to dump Pierce Brosnan, has been a favorite to play the Nordic hero for some time--and now it appears he will star in the project.

According to website ComicBoards.com, former model Travolta is both a Shakespearean trained actor and a highly decorated martial arts and hand-to-hand combat expert.

A director for the Thor film has yet to be announced but Batman Begins screenwriter David Goyer, who is penning the script, has shown interest in taking charge of the project.

What a shame. And I was looking forward to Dolph Lundgren assaying that role . . . .

Hmmm......Doesn't look big enough to me either. Thor is supposed to be 6'6" tall, and hugely muscled. But, then again, they casted Vinnie Jones as the Juggernaut......Oh, yeah......he looks like CRAP!!!!!!

Who were they supposed to get to play juggernaut? Brock Lesnar? I'll wait for the movie to decide if they made a wrong decision.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Dolph would have been great! Or Rutger in his prime!

Anyone see the Thor in the Hulk TV movie a few years back? Now that was bad!
