Could "Eagle Eye" and "Disturbia" director DJ Caruso be the man behind the camera when the big-screen version of Marvel Comics' "Thor" goes into production? In a recent interview with IESB, Caruso said he certainly wouldn't turn down the chance.
"I know that they [Marvel] have a script," said Caruso, "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."
Marvel Studios currently has "Thor" scheduled to hit theaters on June 4, 2010. "Stardust" and "Layer Cake" director Matthew Vaughn was initially attached to the film, but left the project back in May. The most recent reports have Mark Protosevich ("I Am Legend") polishing the script for the film.
Caruso said he has "had some talks with Marvel about ["Thor"] but I have not seen a screenplay." Nevertheless, he added, "I could definitely see myself getting myself into that."
Is DJ Caruso a good fit for "Thor?" And what type of "Thor" story would you like to see, readers?
