Last week James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy dominated
the superhero movie news with the launch of the first trailer, five character
promos and poster.
In a recent interview to Pointless Podcast, the
director talked about (among other things) Vin Diesel’s voice work on the film
as Groot and revealed that during the actual shooting other people provided the
voice but that none of them felt right for the character.
"All of the 'I am Groots' that were earlier voices
didn't sound very good at all, they sounded like sh*t. It just didn't really
work. Then Vin came in and in one day, laid down all these 'I am Groot' tracks,
and he's a perfectionist. He made me explain to him with ever 'I am Groot,'
exactly what he was saying…..Then Vin would sit there and he would do it and he
would it again and again and again, and his voice is so rich and so beautiful
and he really opened up and was this character. It was amazing when we first
put that voice in there how much the character changed and how much he
influenced the character."
When asked about Diesel’s motion capture performance
Gunn said:
"We're doing some mo-cap. What we're doing
basically with Bradley, and my brother Shaun, and with Vin Diesel, we film
everything that they do so we can use it as a reference. So while they're
recording in front of a microphone we'll have Vin acting out everything and
doing all the acting and we'll record that."

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.
