Guardians of the Galaxy

[Seabass]

if they do Rocket right, everyone who is doubting him now are going to be back here claiming he was the best part of the movie

 

[rodneyfaile]

Yes, its in rotation on my ipod.

I seem to be the only one who thinks this, but I like Darth Maul's "What the hell?" reaction to the group being called Guardians of the Galaxy more than his "What a bunch of a-holes" reaction.

New Poster.

And the Marvel Studio tradition of posters continues. Main cast photoshopped together - check! Inconsistent lighting effect - check! Battle scene in the background - check!

Still making this my new work computer wallpaper though, probably the best marketing promo shot released thus far in spite of how I feel about Marvel Studio's poster efforts.

Those pistols Starlord is holding are kind of familiar, didn't they have twin barreled lasers like that in The Black Hole or was it some other older sci-fi movie?

The Star Wars comparison has been done to death over the years, but I honestly believe that in this case it's pretty spot on. Before SW, you had many people (including crew, cast, etc) believing it wasn't going to be very successful simply because of how weird and different the whole thing was. I mean, you had a tall gorilla looking character based on the directors pet dog, little hooded guys with light up eyes, a bad guy with a breathing condition...Here you have a walking tree, a green skinned assassin, and a talking racoon...I could make many more comparisons, but the bottom line is that it really looks and feels pretty original. And that's a good thing.

Personally, it's THE film I've been most excited about this year.

James Gunn: "You might consider a 2ND teaser for our trailer overkill. But overkill is what Guardians of the Galaxy is all about."

I usually avoid watching these teasers for trailers, but couldn't resist this time.

3 teasers for a trailer... what's movie marketing coming to!?!

 

[Vivek]

I blame the Prometheus marketing for really promoting that approach of trailer release.

 

[rodneyfaile]

If there was a fourth teaser, I would watch it. I'm really excited for this movie. Imagine when Disney ramps up marketing for Episode VII !

 

[.:MirrorminD:.]

Still looks amazing

 

[Vivek]

Woohooo. Watch. Repeat X times.

 

[hansicle]

I LIKE IT!

 

[Kevin Gossett]

Yes. Yes. Yes. And yes.
