UFO movie news round-up (13 Jan. 2012)

By Robbie Graham Silver Screen Saucers

Marvel Studios has ordered a rewrite of Don Payne’s script for Thor 2. According to Deadline.com, the latest (and presumably final) draft will be penned by Hollywood heavyweight Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan, Falling Skies). The first Thor movie – released last year – touched on various UFOlogical themes and ideas, including Ancient Astronaut theory, ETs using wormhole technology, and Men-in-Black-type agents (SHIELD) keeping tabs on other-worldly phenomena. Expect more of the same in the sequel. The movie will go into production later this year for release in 2013.

A trailer for an upcoming arthouse film has sparked discussion in the UFO community. The Legend of Kaspar Hauser concerns a mysterious young man who suddenly appears in Nuremberg in 1828, barely able to walk or speak, and his integration into society. The trailer simply shows a man from behind (presumably the film's star, Vincent Gallo) standing in a desert landscape directing UFOs overhead through... some sort of... expressive dance?


In other news, Disney has released its international poster for the upcoming Mars-based epic, John Carter...


And last, but by no means least, Brad Hansen of Craveonline.com has created an ingenious movie trailer mash-up of Disney-Pixar’s enchanting WALL-E and Ridley Scott’s terrifying Prometheus. The result? WALL-ETHEUS...
