[ The God of Thunder makes his way to Hollywood]
Written by Kal-El

Alright, you are in luck Thor fans, Marvel Studios is setting Matthew Vaughn to direct Thor, Our predictions were right, Marvel is racing off thier characters to get into the the big tv screen. Based on the Marvel Comics character. Marvel is aiming for a pre-strike production start this winter. Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend) did the adaptation of the comic book franchise that launched in 1962. Thor is a blonde-tressed, hammer-wielding hero who's sent to Earth to protect mankind. Vaughn's deal is closing just as Paramount releases the Vaughn-directed Stardust today.

Thor marks Vaughn's second effort at a superhero pic. He was attached to direct X-Men: The Last Stand before bowing out for personal reasons. Vaughn, who produced the Guy Ritchie-directed films Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, made his directing debut with the Daniel Craig starrer Layer Cake.

Stay tune for more update as it develops here at The House of El.
