Eagle Eye director DJ Caruso eyes
Marvel's big screen adaptation of Thor.
{sidebar id=1}Matthew Vaughn was first attached to
direct Thor for Marvel Studios but just as was the case with X-Men 3,
Vaughn has left the building. Which, in my humble opinion and
considering the lack of money that both of his previous films -
Layer Cake and Stardust - have been able to bring to Hollywood, it's
a good thing.
So who might be able to take the mighty
Mjolnir and bring Thor from the comic book page to the big screen?
Today the IESB chatted with director
D.J. Caruso in an exclusive interview and talked about his upcoming
thriller EAGLE EYE starring Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan.
While wrapping up, D.J. revealed a few
tidbits to the IESB about the Marvel's favorite Norse God, Thor.
IESB: Would you tackle a D.C. or Marvel
property and if you would, and I mean traditional man-in-tights
superhero movie and if you did which movie would you like to do?
DJ Caruso: You know...I would
definitely tackle it and I sort of wrestled with it before and I was
always a fan of Thor growing up as a kid. I know that they [Marvel]
have a script, but there's something, there's a fear I have about
Thor and depending on what Thor story you want to tell, whether you
want to bring Thor into the modern world or if you want to go back to
Asgard and get the history of what's happening between him and his
brother and dad. That's one I've always been interested in and it
also would be, it would be a monumental task so, I could definitely
see myself getting myself into that.
IESB: Have there been any talks with
Marvel?
DJ Caruso: I have had some talks with
Marvel about it but I have not seen a screenplay. It could be
something that I am interested in.
Stay tuned to the IESB for our complete
interview with D.J. Caruso.
