A few days ago
Hollywood legend, Al Pacino praised James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. Now
Deadline caught up with the actor and asked him more about why he chose to
speak out and praise the film.
"It was not something I would readily go see, but
my kids got me to go, and one has to draw the line at where prejudice starts
and where it ends — that was good stuff!"
Although most A-list actors and
actresses want to be in a superhero movie now, there is still a bit of stigma
attached to them. Not quite sure if its because they are adapted from comics,
or if it's because like director David Cronenberg says - "A superhero movie, by definition, you know, it's
comic book. It's for kids,it's adolescent in its core. That has always
been its appeal, and I think people who are saying, you know, Dark Knight Rises is
supreme cinema art, I don't think they know what the f--- they're talking
about."
Pacino then goes on to explain
why he liked Marvel's foray into space, Guardians of the Galaxy.
"I recognized the ingenious stuff they were
doing; the invention, the attractiveness of the way they were performing it. It
had Shakespearian feeling to it at times. I was caught up in the big screen,
the great sound…"
As for whether the Pacino would
be interested in starring in a Marvel movie, the answer is a big YES! The actor
says that he would do it if he could fit in it, and reminds that he already did
a comic book adaptation, which earned him an Oscar nod.
"I would do anything that I could understand in
terms of how I fit in it. And you know, of course if I could fit in it.
Anything’s possible. You know, I did Dick Tracy and I got an Oscar nomination,
so come on. I mean, what can I say?"
What do you
think? Yay or Nay?
