Last week I brought you word of The Asylum's marvelous mockbuster 
Almighty Thor  that you may or may not have missed as it was on a day when there was a  mad crush of movie news. Now The Asylum has posted the first pics from  the set, and it's quite apparent we are in for something truly special  one way or another.
 Filming of 
Almighty Thor has begun in Los Angeles under the direction of Chris Ray (
Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus) from a script by 
Mega Piranha writer-director Eric Forsberg.
 These set pics give us our first look at newcomer Cody Deal as Thor,  Richard Grieco as the villainous Norse god Loki, sexy Patricia Velasquez  as a demigoddess named Jarnsaxa who trains Thor for his fight with  Loki, and, of course, wrestler turned actor Kevin Nash as Odin, the  supreme King of Valhalla. The last image of what appears to be Thor and  Loki on earth, Thor attired in his finest 
Matrix trenchcoat and Loki looking like a 
Masters of the Universe  villain fresh out of the Betty Ford Clinic, both standing in front of a  junked pick-up truck, somehow excites me than anything I saw in the  trailer for Marvel's megabudget 
Thor.
 
Almighty Thor is set to premiere on DVD April 26th, 2011, about a week before Marvel's 
Thor hammers every movie screen in America.
