The embargo is
finally over and details are starting to pour in. Check out the guys from
Collider and HitFix have been holding out from their set visit of director
James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. In addition check out the new behind the
scenes image from the film, featuring Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, and The Borgias
star Melia Kreilling as Bereet, and intergalactic artist, who once had a brief
romantic relationship with the Hulk.
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, Laura Haddock, Sean
Gunn, and Melia Kreilling.
Guardians of the
Galaxy opens on August 1st.
1- We learned that certain scenes will feature selected characters from the
Marvel cosmic universe. They said on set that Guardians will have the
most live-action Marvel characters in a movie by a factor of four. Some
will be mentioned by name and some in the background. They said fans will
have a field day. Every character had to be cleared with Marvel legal.
2- There is a fight sequence in the movie involving two characters that
they’d practiced for over two months and days before they were set to shoot,
James Gunn informed them it wasn’t working and they had to redesign it.
When they finally shot it they did it 22 times and it was the last take
they got it right. The entire fight was done in one take.
3- We will get a bit on Rocket’s backstory, but we don’t get into the Kree
backstory in the film.
4- James Gunn calls the Collector the most unique character in the film. Plays a very important supporting character.
5- Xander is a big and bright world where we meet Groot and Rocket for the
first time. It’s also the world where some of the team gets arrested.
6- Xander is an almost futuristic Earth located on the other side of the
galaxy. It’s where people travel to for safety and it’s the center of the
universe on that side of the galaxy.
7- Some of the things the Collector has in his collection will “definitely”
be involved in future Marvel movies. His collection looks like the cubes
filled with monsters and creatures in Cabin in the Woods.
8- Gunn's packed in more insane Easter eggs during this one sequence with
the Collector than I think anyone will recognize the first time through, and
there are some great characters who haven't even been teased yet in public.
9- The ending battle scene is the biggest in scope of any Marvel movie.
11- The Dark Aster is Ronan the Accuser’s ship. It’s 3 miles long.
The ship is involved in huge action scenes.
12- Necrocraft’s are thousands of smaller ships that surround the Dark
Aster.
13- In the production art that we were shown we saw a picture of Ronan
bowing to Thanos.
14- Drax will only wear trousers in the film and he’s also a knife man.
15- Gamora is the last of her race after her planet was destroyed.
16- The Nova Corps are run by Glenn Close (Nova Commander Rael) and she’s
the most powerful woman in the galaxy. John C. Reilly (Rhomann Dey) works
for her.
17- We might see a member of the Kree in the prison sequence.
18- Rocket builds a big weapon that Peter Quill uses in the 3rd act of the
movie. It’s like an atomic bomb that works in a small confined area. I
believe it’s called a Hadronic Forcer. The bomb is small enough to be stored in
a backpack.
19- The production built a huge gambling table that is 21 feet long for a
scene. It’s like a miniature Greyhound track with roulette. In this
version of gambling you’re betting on the animals and the table has steam and
flame effects.
20- Zoe Saldana said that she wanted her character to be pretty, which is
something she normally doesn’t care about when doing a role.
21- It took almost 10 camera tests to find the right color for Gamora.
22- Drax’s motivation in the film is to avenge the death of his wife and
daughter.
23- A lot of the comic relief in the film has to do with Drax.
24- Nebula is the daughter of Thanos. Her character is on a holy
mission to get rid of the weak characters of the universe.
25- Gillan said she read Infinity Gauntlet before getting the role.
26- Groot can grow and use his limbs. He’s very powerful in the
movie.
27- Rocket and Groot have a background before the movie starts and Rocket
treats Groot like a slave.
28- Nebula and Gamora share a relationship at the start of the film, but
that Gamora becomes disenchanted with living in service to Thanos, and when she
leaves, it sets some of the film's primary events.
30- Sakaaran is the name of the soldiers Ronan brings in. They wear masks
and you rarely get to see their faces (they’re disfigured underneath their
helmets as they are missing their nose and mouth). One of the really
interesting things about this race is they can grow their armor, helmets and
even their ships. It’s all organic.
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.
