Really cool story, so my sister’s brother-in-law is working on set for the Avengers. It seems he’s become good friends with Tom Hiddleston and only has nice things to say about him (that he’s a “stand up guy”). Tom is so nice that he’s let his daughters sleep in his trailer for nap time.

Sounds like they’re filming stuff! Is anyone over there?

“Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston are literally 50 ft away from me! But they’re still too small for a decent picture!”

sl-misfit:

Scene 1 (720p)
Thor and Loki share a brotherly moment.

Scene 2 (1080p)
Introduction of Sif and The Warriors Three.

Scene 3 (1080p)
Frigga reassures Thor.

Scene 4 (720p)
Thor convinces Loki, Sif, and The Warriors Three to go to Jotunheim.

Scene 5 (1080p)
Extended hospital scene.

Scene 6 (1080p)
Odin and Frigga argue over Thor’s banishment.

Scene 7
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see OR download this scene before it got taken down. If anyone has a link to download it, I’d be grateful! (But I’m going to assume Tom wasn’t in it, otherwise I would have seen gifs of it everywhere, haha.)

Scene 8 (1080p)
Extended Thor and Erik drinking scene.

Scene 9 (720p)
Sif and The Warriors Three go to Midgard to find Thor.

Scene 10 (1080p)
Evacuating the town.

Scene 11 (1080p)
Thor uses a healing stone on Erik.

thank you sl-misfit! Unluckily Scene 7 must have been the scene, when Loki ascends the throne of Asgard. Which means (for all I know) Frigga telling him, that he is king now and he is given the Spear of Odin, symbol of the King.

Okay, now that I have the fellow Hiddlestoners’ attention, a reply I received on youtube merits attention:

“Cheek by Jowl does have a recording in their archives, but since there isn’t a large enough demand of sales to warrant redistribution they won’t. But what that means to me, is that if enough hiddles fans expressed a desire to purchase a copy of Cymbeline, Cheek by Jowl might be persuaded to go ahead and make a few copies.”

So fellow Hiddles lovers, I call you to arms!

Polite letters to Cheek by Jowl requesting the ability to purchase this performance are merited in the many! go forth and exercise your letter/email writing skills!

Kirk! If you can hear me, open the Bridge! Variety is reporting that Marvel has found a director for Thor 2, to follow-up Joss Whedon’s The Avengers and Shane Black’s Iron Man 3. His name is Brian Kirk, an Irish director mostly of lots of TV work, including 3 episodes of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and various episodes of “Boardwalk Empire”, “Luther”, “Dexter”, “Father & Son” and the UK TV movie My Boy Jack. Kirk “rose to the top of the list of directors vying for the job after he showed his abilities to juggle large ensembles” and complex storylines while “also grounding the fantasy genre” in Thrones. Sounds like he’ll be a good choice.

For those wondering, Kenneth Branagh was given the option to return for the sequel, but decided not to, as we’ve heard him mention before (see my interview). Brian Kirk is currently “in early negotiations”, as the superhero sequel isn’t even set for release until July 26th, 2013, nearly 24 months away. Obviously Chris Hemsworth will be back as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as Loki, but we have yet to see if they’ll bring back the storyline with Jane Foster. I’m honestly impressed with the fresh talent that Marvel is lining up for their next wave of sequels after Avengers, including Shane Black. I thought Branagh did a great job with Thor, but I’m also looking forward to seeing what Brian Kirk can do and where he’ll take us after the big team up.
