The Surrey Community info site (via SuperHeroHype) has done the film geek world a service this day as they publish a letter to residents about a proposed shoot in the famous Bourne Wood area. Although it states the production will be called “Thursday Morning”, reading between the lines yields some information about the sequel Thor: The Dark World.
“Thursday Mourning” is the working title of a major feature film. It is comic book adaptation set in another “fictional realm”.

We will be establishing a fictional village set in another realm, with yurts and village like dressing in the bowl. The sequence involves a battle between two kingdoms, ending in our comic book hero arriving to save the day. The sequence will involve a substantial amount of Stunts and controlled special effects all within the hours 0700 – 1900hrs.
We plan to use most of the areas that are usually occupied by film units for all our support vehicles. The sequence will involve approximately 300 extras who will arrive in the early hours prior to call time to go through costume and makeup, which we will undertake in marquees positioned on site. As always we will endeavour to keep any noise disruption to an absolute minimum.
This fictional realm couldn’t possibly be Asgard, could it? As we already know that Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor will bring a grittier version of Asgard to audiences, and this is the location that has served bring to life the real and the magic in such films as Gladiator, Robin Hood, Snow White and the Huntsman, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and of course, stablemate Captain America: The First Avenger.
Thor: The Dark World is due for release on 8 November 2012 from Disney.
