Catwoman and Thor Fighting Robots!?

Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises) is Steven Spielberg’s choice for the female lead in his film based on Robopocalypse according to Deadline. Chris Hemsworth (Thor, The Avengers) is playing the lead which in the book is named Cormac Wallace, leader of “Bright Boy” squadron.

Variety reports Ben Wishaw (the new Q in Skyfall) may join the cast as Lurker, the London computer hacker turned hero. Lurker’s cat and mouse game with the A.I. Archos is one of the creepiest and most suspenseful of the book to me. I’m already imagining what actor should voice Archos!

I love Daniel H. Wilson’s book about the robot uprising and humanity’s struggle to survive. I would love to see Hathaway and Hemsworth in any movie – I think they’ll have great chemistry – even in the aftermath of a robot apocalypse!

Chris Hemsworth Wanted for Robopocalypse

  Chris Hemsworth may wish he had a magic hammer to defeat the enemies in this next film! Steven Spielberg wants the star of Thor and Marvel’s Avengers to play the lead in Robopocalypse according to Deadline.

  The script by Drew Goddard is based on the book by Daniel H. Wilson is about humanity’s struggle to survive an apocalyptic uprising by robots and anything with a computer (even the cars turn against us!)

  Hemsworth would play Cormac Wallace, the narrator of the story and leader of a battalion of human survivors fighting against Archos, the orchestrator of the robot uprising.

  Opinion: I’m reading this book now and it’s like World War Z but with robots. I LOVE this book and think Hemsworth would be perfect as “Bright Boy.” Here’s an Amazon link for the book.
