There’s two bits of Thor casting news in my in-tray but they’re of such completely completely different scales - think a Smurf sitting on the shoulder of a Na’vi.
News of his casting comes from the Heat Vision blog at THR (http://www.heatvisionblog.com/2009/10/thor-anthony-hopkins.html), who also give a summary of the film’s plot:
The movie’s story sees the god of thunder Thor, a powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions re-ignite an ancient war. As punishment, Thor is cast down to Earth and forced to live among humans. Once here, he learns what it takes to be a true hero when the most dangerous villain of his world sends dark forces of Asgard to invade Earth.

Anthony Hopkins as Odin? Oh, yes, please! That might get me to go see this, despite my general wariness. (I know just enough Norse mythology that I imagine I'll be going--but, no! That's WRONG!)
