Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

[Michael*]

 

Guardians of the Galaxy is an upcoming American science fiction superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is intended to be the tenth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is written and directed by James Gunn, with a story by Gunn and Nicole Perlman, and features an ensemble cast including Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, and Benicio del Toro. In Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter Quill forms an uneasy alliance with a group of misfits who are on the run after stealing a coveted orb.

Producer Kevin Feige first publicly mentioned Guardians of the Galaxy as a potential film in 2010, and Marvel Studios announced that the film was in active development at the San Diego Comic-Con International in July 2012. Gunn entered negotiations to write and direct the film that August. In February 2013, Pratt was hired to play Peter Quill, and the supporting cast was filled out over the next several months. Filming began in July 2013 at Shepperton Studios, England with filming continuing in London before wrapping up in October 2013. The film is scheduled to be released on August 1, 2014, and will be released in 3D.

Premise

In the far reaches of space, an American pilot named Peter Quill finds himself the object of a manhunt after stealing an orb coveted by the villainous Ronan. In order to evade Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a group of misfits including Gamora, Rocket, Drax the Destroyer and Groot. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand — with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

The first teaser for 'Guardians' has arrived, hence the starting of the topic. It's a 15-second clip promising plenty of action, and comes ahead of the full trailer release, which is expected later tonight.

I can't wait to see Karen Gillan and Chris Pratt, show their skills!

[Michael*]

Could only have looked better had there been more Karen Gillan.

I love Chris Pratt to death, especially on Parks and Rec :D He is hilarious!

 

Oh and because of this, just gonna leave this here:

 

 

Anyways looks interesting, I don't know too much about these comics, but its Marvel, so I know I'll enjoy

Here's a few of the recently released viral videos, featuring soundbites from assorted members of the cast. First, Rocket Raccoon revealed.

I too am only vaguely familiar with the 'Guardians' source material, but I'm really looking forward to seeing this. Who else but Marvel could find a way to make non-readers care about a movie with a walking tree, a gun-toting raccoon and Benicio Del Toro dressed as a member of Empire of the Sun?

My boyfriend is a huge fan of Guardians of the Galaxy, I've looked through some of his comics. I don't know much about the series or characters but I'm definitely seeing this movie. That trailer really sold the movie for me. 

[Cult Icon]

It's very odd and unusual to see.  Further, the trailer was mostly in-doors which is surprising.

Poster reveal.

Extended teaser boasting the first full clip from the movie is here.

Also, it was confirmed earlier in the week that Josh Brolin will be playing the part of Thanos in the movie. Not sure if that's common knowledge, but it was certainly news to me.

Wasn't heard of, thanks for letting us know! Managed to Google stuff on it and he's now also said to be appearing in Age of Ultron too! Considering The Collector is in this film, I'm thinking we get another Infinity Gem in the midst

It'll be fascinating to see if they'll have the time (or the inclination) to weave all six Infinity Gems into the storyline before 'Avengers 3' comes out. I'm guessing 'Guardians' will reference the Aether, introduce a third gem, or do both, which would still only put them at the halfway point.

 

I don't think they'll go there with 'Ant-Man' or 'Captain America 3', so unless there are other movies in the works that we don't know about yet, that only really leaves 'Age of Ultron'.
