If there was an element of risk when Disney/Marvel Studios hired Kiwi director Taika Waititi to helm the 'Thor' reboot – a massive jump in scale and ambition after his 'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' – that now seems a very smart bet.
Waititi (Boy, What We Do in the Shadows) will appear in conversation at a screening of the film at Sydney's Chauvel Cinema on Monday May 23.
The promotion brings together independent cinemas in a coordinated promotional effort, allowing them to hold their own preview screenings with intros from director Waititi alongside the screening of exclusive, never-seen-before footage.
Before jetting in to Sydney to begin filming Thor: Ragnarok with Cate Blanchett and Chris Hemsworth at Fox Studios, Kiwi director Taika Waititiis soaking up the acclaim in Park City, where his latest film has premiered to rave reviews at the Sundance Film
Follow the lives of Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav - three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life's obstacles-like being immortal vampires who must feast on human blood.
