Micro-News: Del Toro On MONSTER, Drax And Star-Lord Compare Muscles & More

Hopefully del Toro gets this one done. Speaking at the fourth annual Hero Complex Film Festival, Guillermo spoke about his approach to the adaptation of Naoki Urasawa's Monster.


Frank Grillo tweeted that he's in Cleveland for filming of Captain America: The Winter Soldier so his costume is probably the next we'll be viewing via set photos.



Dave Bautista is currently on the other side of the pond in London and he's met up with his Guardians of the Galaxy leader Peter Quill a.k.a. Star-Lord, played by Chris Pratt. Apparently Pratt is 'more jacked' than 'The Animal.'



Unfortunately, there wasn't a new episode of HBO's Game of Thrones last month but there will be a new ep (one to surely remember) this Sunday. To prepare, here's a look behind the scenes at the two most recent episodes.
-Theon's manhood was taken from him by a tool that actually has historical backing as a used torture instrument.
-During the bear fight with Brienne and Jaime, our two knight filmed their part in Banbridge, Ireland while the bear was filmed in California and then digitally inserted into the footage.
-Producers originally looked at an anamatronic bear and a man in a bear suit before it was decided to use a real animal.
-Remember the leech's put on poor Gendry by the Red Priestess Melisandre? The insects moved and looked incredibly real but those were actually fake props created by the show's crew.

I think Bautista is being sarcastic...

It's a risk xcan28, but it's one I think that is desperately needed.

@xcan28

You are absolutely wrong. Star-Lord is basically the Han Solo of Marvel. He's sarcastic, witty, and always joking to keep the team's spirit up.

This will be Pratt's coming out party
he'll be a satr after this akin to Hemsworth's road

"MARY, now if you mean that STAR LORD is supposed to be
'sarcastic, witty, and always joking to keep the team's spirit up' THEN you have me."

That's what she meant. And more to the point, Star-Lord is like Han Solo in the sense is that he's a skilled pilot, very street wise and is a master problem solver.

I used to pour hatred on this movie. In retrospect I may have come across as a spoiled whining fan boy crying and whining on my keyboard in a pathetic display of nerd rage.

LOL it was fun, though. Hope this isn't a "space comedy." I have to admit the casting is pretty interesting.

Yes Griffin, Batista is a really nice guy. I was sitting next to him at a press conference table as an interpreter and he really helped me a lot with the WWE terminology, which I was unfamiliar with
jcfrommars9
jcfrommars9 - 6/1/2013, 10:34 AM
There will be wit. It won't be comedy. it's a common misconception with Marvel films.
rocky
rocky - 6/1/2013, 10:47 AM
It doesn't matter to me much which is it
When you have different species from different worlds there will be humor
The differences in customs alone will suffice like in THOR

I have more faith in GOTG than DOFP

Guardians topping Avatar?

L O L

even topping Avengers is sooooo unlikely. A whole new cast and franchise to general audience... that will take time.

In Guardians of the Galaxy, they never really say something to be deliberately funny even if it is funny, so that's the way I see them playing it in the movie as well.

I'm looking more forward to this movie than any other comic book movie including Man of Steel, Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier because this comic book has never seen live action or even an animated series. I loved the fact that when they first announced it, it actually surprised people. And this cast is strange and unexpected. We don't have enough of that these days. As long as we're getting these comic book characters being brought to live action, I want to see the more obscure characters with big budgets. Imagine DC if they started doing other DC characters like Mister Terrific or Captain Atom or Powergirl. That's what Guardians of the Galaxy represents to me right now.

xcan28 I can see your point
I'm a bit deflated about the whole X franchise
Still there opening day but always with some reservations

GOTG I think it's so bold that I hope it gets rewarded 10 fold.
Not to mention the doors it can open to that side of the MCU

I think jcfrommar has the right idea right along with what I said. Like when Thor smashes his glass and asks for another. The clash of customs will be enough humor by itself

Marvel Preview #4 for Starlord. Rocket Raccoon, Incredible Hulk #271 though I think there might be an earlier one in Marvel Preview #7 and Groot, Tales to Astonish #13.

It would be great for Marvel and its fans if the cosmic and earthbound sides of the movie franchise were competing for popularity. Imagine it culminating in a huge crossover event somewhere down the line (AVENGERS 3?)

I just hope they DO NOT use the outfits they wear in the current GOTG comic..go back to the other outfits.
Sadly,like Thor not wearing helmet in all films & Tony barely wearing armor in IM3..I bet Star Lord won't wear a cool helmet/mask.
It will just be Chris Pratt smiling away. Time will tell.
