A pity that Carter Burwell has gone. Talented composer for sure. I've been listening to a lot of his music recently and really enjoying it.

I guess Digital Spy did what so many journalistic outlets do these days: they did not check any source, they just took it from a message board (in this case, this one).
Also, Digital Spy is famous for running every rumor they can find.
I trust Ford, however, and I can very well imagine Marvel micro-managing everything and everyone. And since THOR: THE DARK WORLD hasn´t got Downey jr. throwing his weight around (and protecting his director), I absolutely believe that Marvel has stepped in. They are panicking about a flop ending their string of mega-successes and threatening their domination plans (or phases, as they like to call them).
The trailer for the new THOR film definitely underwhelmed me.

I trust Ford too, but that's not the point: a comment he - or anyone else - posted on a message board should absolutely not be used as the basis for a news article.
I absolutely agree. But that´s the state of journalism these days.

Not to be contrarian, but nobody seems to be disputing the source or the story. This isn't just "something they read on a message board". That would be the case if they quoted me. ("Whedon says 'I was just kidding, Serenity II is in front of the cameras right now.'")
The writers apparently ascribe the same rep for accuracy to Ford that many here do. (I did think it was an odd statement for Ford to make since the "in the know" crowd usually plays it closer to the vest.)
How much of the movie is done to change directors at this late date? Will this be the next Superman II?
I really liked Thor (and Captain America). I'm nervous that this won't go well. I'd have liked to have just had Bragnah and Doyle back.

I don't think it will be SUPERMAN II, necessarily, in part because they fired the director after the movie had largely been shot. It probably means that the producers will oversee editing and scoring, sans director. You'll probably see a few "editorial consultants" in the end credits... people who were paid a ton of money to sit around the cutting rooms and weigh in.
This has happened on many a film... Kevin Costner did it to Kevin Reyonlds twice, first on ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES, and again on WATER WORLD a few years later. Doesn't necessarily mean that the film will be bad. It even happened on THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT a few years back, and the movie turned out great.
On THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT, too? I thought that was a labor of love for the director. Did the actresses bully her out?
