New Moon director to take on The Gardener next
Director Chris Weitz is a happy man these days. His recently released New Moon set the box office on fire and broke records set by films from Harry Potter to The Dark Knight. Now he’s taking the break from the big budget hoopla and taking on The Gardener, a drama about a Mexican immigrant living in LA and trying to protect his son. The screenplay has been written by Eric Eason and production will begin in March or April 2010.
Natalie Portman will be playing the role of Jane Foster, the love interest of the title character in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor. Her casting has officially been confirmed by Marvel yesterday (July 13). The film will co-star Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Tom Hiddleston as the villain Loki. The synopsis of the film from FirstShowing.net:
This epic adventure spans the Marvel Universe; from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard. At the center of the story is The Mighty Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions reignite an ancient war. Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans as punishment. Once here, Thor learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends the darkest forces of Asgard to invade Earth.
