Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live
the first trailer for James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy debuted and it looks
like it will be a really fun movie. Now via TF, the director has broken down
some parts of the trailer and commented them.
"There is probably no film
that influenced me more as a child – no film that excited me more or that I
loved more – than Raiders Of The Lost Ark. It not only influences how I see
Guardians, it influences how I live my life."
"We've recorded most of
Bradley’s dialogue already. I suppose you would expect me to tell you he’s
fantastic and his characterization of Rocket will blow your mind – so don’t
believe me and just wait to see (or hear) it for yourself. In all truth, we
hired Bradley because he’s able to do both comedy and drama – it’s the thing I
look for most in the actors on all my films – and to truly sell Rocket – for
you to believe a Raccoon can talk (and blow up and shoot tons of stuff) we need
a well-rounded actor."
"I love Groot so much I get
teary eyed when I think of him sometimes. Essentially, all the Guardians start
out the movie as bastards - except Groot. He’s an innocent. He’s a hundred
percent deadly and a hundred percent sweet. He’s caught up in Rocket’s life,
really."
"Zoe is about as
un-intimidating as you can imagine! She gets in the zone the moment that
cameras start filming – but before that she’s basically her loud, brash,
completely lovable and goofball self. She got it easy with the makeup – it only
took about four hours to put on, whereas it took Dave Bautista and Karen Gillan
six hours or more. Zoe and Karen are the two most hardass characters in the
movie – they’re our Clint Eastwoods. It should take more than a few people by
surprise."
"The movie has a lot of edgy
humor, unusual for a comic book movie. But we were encouraged by Marvel to take
risks, so we did. However, we never wanted the humor to get in the way of the
fun or the emotional heart of the film – those things came first."
"'Hooked On A Feeling' is
used in the movie. That and a lot of other old songs are on Quill’s mixed tape
in his Sony Walkman. It’s one of the few things he has from Earth. I don’t
think of it as a joke, because it’s very dear to him. It’s the umbilical cord
that connects him to earth and the home and family he lost."
"The Guardians are
criminals, essentially – a thief, two thugs, a murderer, and a maniac. They end
up in prison together. When you have those personalities all in one place at
one time, you can imagine a scrap or two starting pretty easily."
"At that point in the film,
Star-Lord and the gang are facing off with a fleet of Ronan’s Necrocraft.
Someone’s about to go down."
"I knew I wanted to add some
shots of Nebula, as she’s super badass."
"It’s important to add that
we left out some of our coolest characters – Lee Pace’s Ronan the Accuser,
Michael Rooker’s Yondu, and Glenn Close’s Nova Prime – because we want to save
them for the full trailer in a couple months".
"There is no doubt that the
cinematic pinnacle of my career is our cameras circling around a maniacal
raccoon shooting a machine gun on the back of a living tree. And I say this
with as much modesty as I can muster – because certainly it is not me, but the
hand of God guiding us all as we make this film – but it just may be the
pinnacle of cinema in general. When we shot it we were twirling around an empty
space in a giant set. But I think all of us could see the raccoon and the tree
in our minds. They were already starting to form. I can’t wait to share them
with everyone in August."

Guardians of the Galaxy Official
Synopsis:
From Marvel, the studio that
brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain
America and The Avengers, comes a new team – the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed epic space adventure,
Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into
the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an
unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a
powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is
forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits – Rocket, a
gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic
Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of
the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his
ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand – with the galaxy’s fate in the
balance. Marvel’s “Guardians of the
Galaxy” is presented by Marvel Studios. The film releases August 1, 2014, and
is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
