Earlier today, Guardians of the Galaxy director James
Gunn posted on his Facebook page how much he enjoyed working with Vin Diesel,
who voices Groot, and praised the actor for adding so much to a character that
only says three words, "I Am Groot".
Vin
Diesel just finished his final session as Groot (well, for 2014 at least). All
of us are astounded that one man can bring so much amazingness to a character
who can only say three words. We don't affect Vin's voice at all and he sounds
like an otherworldly tree! Every "I am Groot," every grunt and shriek
and whine and holler is filled with heart and humor and passion. When I
returned from the session, I told one of our producers, Victoria Alonso, that I
think we could audition every single person in the world for Groot, and Vin
Diesel would still be the best. I know directors almost always praise their
stars - and, God knows, I've been fortunate with the entire cast of Guardians
of the Galaxy - but I've never been more stunned by an actor able to bring so
much more to a role than I originally thought possible. Rocket may be the heart
of GotG, but Groot is its soul.
Guardians of the Galaxy stars Chris Pratt, Dave
Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker, Ophelia Lovibond,
Benicio Del Toro, Lee Pace, Djimon Honsou, Gregg Henry, Glenn Close, John C.
Reilly, Peter Serafinowicz, and Laura Haddock.
Guardians of the Galaxy opens on August 1st in
the US and on July 31st.
