Rodat will be working from a draft already handed in by Don Payne, one of the writers who received credit on the first film last summer. Rodat&#8217;s hiring follows Alan Taylor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2011\/12\/24\/game-of-thrones-director-alan-taylor-nabs-thor-2-gig\/\" target=\"_blank\">replacing<\/a> Patty Jenkins in the film&#8217;s director&#8217;s chair.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to his Academy Award nominated screenplay for <strong>Saving Private Ryan<\/strong>, Rodat has scripted <strong>Fly Away Home<\/strong> and <strong>The Patriot<\/strong> and created TNT&#8217;s series <em>Falling Skies<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>With its key two creative positions for the film filled, I suspect that Marvel will be shifting into overdrive to get the film into production later this year for its already announced November 2013 release.<\/p>\n<p>Marvel is playing whatever story plans they have for the sequel close to their vest. Presumably, the first film&#8217;s ending featuring Thor stranded in the otherworldly realm of Asgard, unable to return to Earth, will be dealt with in this summer&#8217;s The Avengers, leaving the slate fairly clean for the film to chart its own direction. It should be interesting to see what the result is.<\/p>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2012\/01\/robert-rodat-to-rewrite-thor-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Robert Rodat will supply a rewrite.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2012\/01\/11\/saving-private-ryan-scripter-hired-for-thor-2\/\" title=\"SAVING PRIVATE RYAN Scripter Hired For THOR 2\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[4565,2523,3662],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-18113","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-alan-taylor","8":"tag-robert-rodat","9":"tag-thor-2"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18113"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18113\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18113"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18113"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18113"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=18113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
