Guardians of the Galaxy- Starring Rocket Raccoon and friends! - General

Sorry for the bump. But an short plot summary has just been released. [url]http://geektyrant.com/news/2012/8/16/guardians-of-the-galaxy-possible-plot-summary-revealed.html[/url] Just in case anyone was interested.

Wait so is Nova not in this? I guess he would have been pretty overpowered anyways.

Okay, another bump. But the director has just been announced. It's James Gunn. [url]http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/09/18/james-gunn-guardians-galaxy/[/url] For those of you who don't know, he wrote Scooby-Doo 1 and 2, and directed Slither. Also he wrote and directed Super. So not the best resume to start off with. But Joss Wheadon (Who has apparently now become the Marvel consultant) backs him up 100% with his ideas for the movie and stuff. So that's a thing.

Oh god bad director choice

Of course! Forgot sorry, forgot about that. Easily his best achievement.

I can't imagine Rocket Raccoon with any other voice now. Not what I imagined reading the comics a long time ago but it's so fitting.

So...no Rocket?

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;41045500]So...no Rocket?[/QUOTE] It's probably Del Toro.

Glad to see Karen Gillan taking a step up in her career.

Comic Con preview leaked. [url]http://vk.com/video-28416224_165782862[/url]

Looks pretty neat.

holy shit, i didn't know it was already that far in production. looks awesome

Oh fuck forgot about this thread. I guess I should update the OP [editline]13th August 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=TheDog;41815315]holy shit, i didn't know it was already that far in production. looks awesome[/QUOTE] They're not, that's 12 days worth of footage. [editline]13th August 2013[/editline] Alright any tips or recommendations for putting in the OP? If you want some build up about the characters I could stick /co/'s recommended Cosmic Marvel reading list in OP.

This just seems too batshit insane to ever work as a movie.

So apparently Vin Diesel is going to be voicing Groot.

More leaked clips [url]http://videobam.com/RrOHr[/url] [url]http://videobam.com/kudbl[/url] If you can't tell he doing the whole jack-in-the-box flipping someone off thing.

rocket raccoon looks a lot less cringe worthy than I thought and actually pretty cool

This film looks fucking excellent. Like Star Wars meets Iron Man. How on earth did this come from the comic film I least wanted to see to the one I MOST want to see.

this generation's buckaroo bonzai, I can't fucking wait love James Gunn's work.

Either the voice actor from UMVC3 should come back for rocket raccoon. But i always had a thought when i read the comic that rocket raccoon sounded like Vinnie Jones, every time i read his lines in the comic i imagined Vinnie Jones voice, it fit perfectly in my head. Dunno why, just did.

I doubt it's only 12 days worth of cgi, rendering that alone would take half of that time

Surprised no one posted Chris Pratt's development for the role. [img]http://i.imgur.com/metmz7t.jpg[/img] I'm currently watching season 3 of Parks and Rec and it's hard to picture the fat cuddly guy being a Superhero, but here we go.

These guys that beef up for super hero films should write a guide book together

[QUOTE=Dan2593;41832423]These guys that beef up for super hero films should write a guide book together[/QUOTE] Really should, but their trainers want everything confidential. Man of steel has that 30 day soldier of steel workout guide you can get though.

Did anyone else like Billy West's version of Rocket Raccoon in Ultimate Spiderman?

[QUOTE=Maniacmike;41835550]Did anyone else like Billy West's version of Rocket Raccoon in Ultimate Spiderman?[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWq-jelDxu4[/media] I don't like it. I prefer the English accent Rocket Raccoon.

Guardians were in that? Guess that's how they plan on introducing Guardians to the kids.
