Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment have finally released an official synopsis of the plot for their upcoming big screen adaptation of Thor, starring Star Trek‘s Chris Hemsworth and Star Wars‘ Natalie Portman. Along with the sysnposis, they’ve also included preliminary credits which carry the favored disclaimer “Credits Not Final.”
This is amusing considering the film is already in production and you would have to expect that those pesky contracts had already been finalized before any actors stepped in front of a camera. Anyway, no big surprises in the synopsis but we do get a few good confirmations.

March 10, 2010 at 2:57 pmWhy have they changed Jane to a scientist instead of a nurse? Will they feature Donald Blake at all? Production is already started on this isn’t it? Come on people, there has to be someone that knows a little more than they are saying! I have high hopes considering the director. Fingers crossed for this one!!
