Jon Meets Kenneth - What Could it Mean?

On his Twitter page yesterday John Favreau (director of Iron Man) stated that he met and had lunch with Kenneth Branagh (director of Thor). I instantly wondered if this could mean anything.
Obviously it could be nothing at all -- just a meeting of the minds, but maybe, just maybe they are synching up on something?!!

If anyone has an insider scoop on this meet and greet, let us know! Post here or in scoops!

Hmmm good find, they might be talking about Avengers, because if Jon Faverau is producing i'm guessin Ken will aswell, I'm thinking Joe Johnstone and Louis Letterrier will produce aswell, it makes sense.

They were just having lunch at TGI Fridays. That's all. Nothing romantic going on.

Dont tell the wives :)
teabag - 10/24/2009, 10:04 AM
Well, they're all going to be working together on The Avengers so I dont think that this meeting is anything too suspicious...!
joshw24 - 10/24/2009, 11:45 AM
You just know it ended messy...







:D
teabag - 10/24/2009, 11:50 AM
They were gonna play a game of you show me yours and I'll show you mine.


Movies you freaking pervs.
SirPrize - 10/24/2009, 11:52 AM
Faveau is not directing The Avengers, because he will be directing Iron Man 3 in 2012, he will only be one of the producers

The cat's out of the bag Tea@! lol

joshw24 - 10/24/2009, 11:59 AM
Well, Doggonit Josh@!
That's friggin' hilarious! lol
DDD - 10/24/2009, 12:02 PM
Seriously tho' it's going to be great to have all the
great minds behind each separate movie producing and
overseeing the Avengers movie!

It'll get done right for a change!
DDD - 10/24/2009, 12:18 PM
@ Betty LOLOLOL At least none of their hollywood friendos would see them there together. Probably none of them would be caught dead in a TGI Fridays lol!

But anyway He's probably schooling him on a number of topics.
Since Favreau knows the comics and Branaugh doesn't, he could be explaining the massive place Thor occupies in the Marvel U, how important he is, all that.
If KB doesn't know that stuff already, then someone needs to tell him.

And I bet he's giving him pointers on the whole comicbookmovie realism thing. Maybe how to avoid physics foibles and such.
DarthMulder - 10/24/2009, 12:22 PM
DDD@ yeah cuz having multiple egos in one director chair is a great idea.
1renaissance1 - 10/24/2009, 12:32 PM
I think its probably a social/general movie discussion, nothing too heavy as neither are really involved in anything with the other. Even if Branagh were to produce or even direct the Avengers, at this point it would still be spit-balling, etc. They probably just wanted to meet each other.
DannyRand401 - 10/24/2009, 12:34 PM
This was inevitable, they had to meet. All is looking good in the world of Marvel, D.C you got some major catching up to do
ASSASSIN666 - 10/24/2009, 12:36 PM
Irenaissance@, I didn't say have all of them
directing, just overseeing as producers!
Whoever they get to direct The Avengers
is going to really have his hands full with
this movie! Good luck to whomever it is!!!
DDD - 10/24/2009, 12:55 PM
Kens prolly trying to get Farves to stop talking trash about the whole Thor mythos.
MarkV - 10/24/2009, 1:53 PM
i heard that there thinking of introducing Cap in this one !
FrankCastle1 - 10/24/2009, 2:07 PM
It means Awesome.Simple as that
NightAvenger4 - 10/24/2009, 2:20 PM
Josh@ lmao


I bet they were taking it in how awesome they are.....

Fav looking at ken...





and just enjoying the awesomness across the table...

















:D
teabag - 10/24/2009, 2:41 PM
THEY ALL HAVE TO MEET AND TRADE IDEAS...IF YOU WANT A AVENGERS MOVIE TO MESH WELL YOU NEED INTERACTION...MOVIE HINTS-IRON MAN MEETS FURY-STARK MEETS ROSS-ROSS KNOWLEDGE OF SUPER SOLDIER MESHES WELL WITH CAPTAIN AMERICA-MAYBE THOR'S CONNECTIONS WILL BE THOUGH PORTMANS CONNECTIONS IN THE REAL WORLD..EHH WE'LL SEE
GUNSMITH - 10/24/2009, 2:53 PM
ITs to discuss how to put Tony Stark or Iron Man into the Thor movie to Cameo, if you will.
shibazz - 10/24/2009, 2:56 PM
STARK AND THOR WILL MEET IN A MOVIE THEATER WATCHING SATANS ALLEY.
GUNSMITH - 10/24/2009, 3:02 PM
Cool news, hopefully it means Branagh will have some sory of producer credit with Avengers, which is exactly what I want, the directors of the solo films coming on to be producers, executive or not, on the Avengers.

I want them all to be solo-film directors to be producers because I want the Avengers to still keep in line with some of the characterizations of Thor, Iron Man, Cap (not as much for Cap, since his story is a changing to the times one) and have a similar tone that is in line with the directors' adaptations. I mainly want consistency with the movie.

"Jon and Kenneth Plus Avengers", who's with me?
InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/24/2009, 3:11 PM
the four directors collab for Avengers
ClintEastwood - 10/24/2009, 3:34 PM
talkin about cameo so that they're all tied up or something...
FrankDrebin - 10/24/2009, 4:39 PM
IMDB has Chris Hemsworth listed as appearing in Iron Man 2, so maybe we will see a cameo of Thor? In Iron Man 2?
THEHAWK - 10/24/2009, 4:54 PM
is it really so shocking that two creators working on movies that are interlinked met up to discuss the direction of the movies??
CorndogBurglar - 10/24/2009, 4:55 PM
CD@ dont you see?...they have to be gay lol :)
teabag - 10/24/2009, 5:07 PM
??? OH SNAP @ THEHAWK is that true man? ha. I knew it. I KNEW Thor would be the cameo in that movie.

Anyway you can't trust IMDB at all but that would be SO GREAT.
DarthMulder - 10/24/2009, 5:08 PM
oh btw lads..

This is off topic and all but I just got back from watching the movie Paranormal Activity. damn that was fun, and bloody intense!

First of all I am not as critical of Blaire Witch style movies as some people. It's kind of lame and unbelievable at times I admit.
But on this movie, once I got over that it was a wild ride indeed.
The audience was interesting.
They must have been having a special rude person's screening because there were all these losers talking out loud and making noise. A group of people that had been shouting over the movie left as soon as the actors started talking about demons.

This elderly couple hobbled in, and then about 45 minutes into the movie they practically RAN out. I'm for real.. it was out of fear. They were like slamming into stuff and jostling around to get out as quick as they could.
It was an interesting trip to the pictures at the very least.
DarthMulder - 10/24/2009, 5:34 PM
Corndogburglar: exactly.
padidas - 10/24/2009, 6:04 PM
I thought I heard sometime last year that Thor would make an appearance in Irom Man 2.
ViperXX79 - 10/24/2009, 6:49 PM
Avengers movie doesn't mean shit unless the Hulk is in it. Norton or not, he has to be. Obviously would be cooler if he was, such as with an Ultimates storyline, but Hulk absolutely is a major player in the Avengers story. Perhaps a small Norton cameo at the end of Avengers as Hulk takes off from the team which would subsequently lead into Hulk 2
Banner123 - 10/24/2009, 7:37 PM
They're putting together DNA samples to clone a baby that will direct the Avengers movie.
Upupandaway - 10/24/2009, 7:39 PM
I heard they were spotted totally making out behind the lockers during gym class. They're so cute together *swoon*
MultiPurposePoni - 10/24/2009, 8:11 PM
Multi: Yeah I heard about that, but I also hear Joe Johnston's starting to get a bit jealous!
InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/24/2009, 8:23 PM
tea=where do you stay in britain?I wanna have a pint with you lol!
FORTAPACHE - 10/24/2009, 8:54 PM
@Tyler: He is?!? If his BFF Louis Letterier hears about it he's going to sooooo pissed
MultiPurposePoni - 10/24/2009, 9:13 PM
Multi: Yeah don't you remember? Johnston and Favreau used to have a thing together, but they ended it a little while ago. Now Favs has moved on to Branagh, apparently, and Johnston I guess still has residual feelings left over, and now Leterrier is getting jealous because of that, it's all so crazy!
InTylerWeTrust82 - 10/24/2009, 9:25 PM
The REAL reason behind the Favreau/ Branagh lunch:

Favs: Hey. Kenny?
Branagh: Jon, good to hear from you. How's editing going?
Favs: It's good, it’s good.
Branagh: Yes, well good. I saw Couples Retreat last weekend.
Favs: Oh, you saw that piece of crap, huh?
Branagh: I did. I did.
Favs: Yeah, Vince needed to pay for his boat. I needed a vacation, so what the hell, you know.
Branagh: HA! Why do you think I did Harry Potter.
Favs: What do you say I take you to lunch to make up for it?
Branagh: Sure, sure.
Favs: You know what'd be funny?
Branagh: What's that?
Favs: We go to lunch and then check the fanboy sites afterward to see the comic geeks go ape shit thinking we were plotting crossover shit with Thor and Iron Man. I’ll even Tweet it up to stir the pot.
Branagh: HAHA!!! They wouldn't.
Favs: Are you kidding? They'll go nuts. Trust me I'm old hat at this stuff, baby. They'll shit their cornflakes, seriously.
Branagh: Oh, Jon. You're so money.
Favs: You know it.
nerosday - 10/24/2009, 11:15 PM
And then. . . they dance.
MultiPurposePoni - 10/24/2009, 11:25 PM
All I want to see is Hawkeye...
GambitAceOfSpades - 10/25/2009, 1:44 AM
I think Hawkeye's would look like garbage if they put him in the Avengers! thats if they use that whack ass purple suit.


CrashTest - 10/25/2009, 7:43 AM
@ multi

i heard it was under the bleachers!!!!

@ tea

LOL

@ mulder

so paranormal activity is worth seeing then?? i'm like you, i don't mind the "shaky cam" style movies at all. blair witch was an awful movie, but only because the movie sucked, not because of the camera. and i personally LOVED cloverfield, and didn't mind quarantine too much either!

and for the loud people in the theatre, i know what you mean. me and my girlfriend went to see drag me to hell when it was in theatres, and we had to walk out because of people screaming at the top of their lungs every 5 minutes for things that weren't scary at all. these people wouldn't scream that loud if their own lives were actually in danger. its so irritating. i was mad, because we only got about 30 minutes into it, and i was REALLY enjoying it! (drag me to hell that is) now i have to wait for it on dvd.
CorndogBurglar - 10/25/2009, 8:17 AM
@cdb: Throw candy at 'em next time, it always works :) Milk Duds have allow for the most accuracy IMO
MultiPurposePoni - 10/25/2009, 8:52 AM
@CDB: I liked Cloverfield too. I would have preferred to see more of the monster, though. Even renting it and pausing the good stuff didn't satisfy that jones lol

Yeah since I now know you don't mind the shaky cam thing I can say with confidence that you would at least find it interesting. There were some shocks and spooky stuff, but the fun of this one is the way the tension builds. It keeps you on this ultra alert buzz thing.. hyper vigilant maybe?

Ah the theater... as much as I go, (two or three times a month) you would think I would be used to obtuse, discourteous a-holes. But no, it still bothers me. lulz

I put Drag Me to Hell on my Netflix que. lol I didn't even realize it was Raimi's until after it was already out of theaters. Glad to hear a thumbs up on it from a fellow movie lover !!
DarthMulder - 10/25/2009, 9:46 AM
FORTE@ I live in Southampton but that pint will have to wait til after my opp............this is sounding like onlinedating lol :)
teabag - 10/25/2009, 10:17 AM
@teabag: Oh, so you're going for a paint with that freakin' guy now?!? Two timing jerk!

You're worse than JFavs
MultiPurposePoni - 10/25/2009, 10:41 AM

SirPrize - 10/25/2009, 10:50 AM
Multi@ With all the time your taking on your costume this man feels naglectid lol :P

SirPrize@ Do you know where abouts? :)
teabag - 10/25/2009, 11:06 AM

KillerOfSaints - 10/25/2009, 12:15 PM
***Correction***
Tea - My great grandmother was from Southampton.

I don't know which part. I'll have to ask my mum. She has some info on it. It's on my Bucket List to go there.
SirPrize - 10/25/2009, 12:20 PM
@teabag: You're a dick. First you tell me I need a costume for Domination Tuesdays and now you're telling me I spend too much time on it. You're soooooo hard to please
MultiPurposePoni - 10/25/2009, 2:01 PM
Multi@ all i hear dick , domination and please.....the magic words lol :)

SirPrize@ be cool to find out :)
teabag - 10/26/2009, 3:51 AM
Best thing that Branagh could do would be to read every Thor comic ever written, starting from the first, including cross-overs.

I have a feeling that Thor will set the new standard in comic book movies.
bropous - 10/26/2009, 8:51 AM
@ crashtest

hawkeye's costume is one of the most liked, and well received costumes in comics. yeah its purple. so what?? its comics, the sentinels are F'ing pink! baron zemo...PINK! magneto, red and purple! despero, pink. galactus, purple and pink. should i go on?
CorndogBurglar - 10/26/2009, 9:16 AM
@ bropous

i thought iron man and dark knight did that already. i can't see thor being better than those two, even if i would love it if it were!
CorndogBurglar - 10/26/2009, 9:44 AM
@ nerosday LMFAO!!!
