I wonder how the film will look. I think it would be cool to have parts of it look like gritty WWII footage. It sounds like Mr. Johnston has fans feelings in mind. This movie will be something special.

As long as it isn't in 3D I could care less about how the movie looks. Well, yeah, that's not really true, it should have a very gritty and Saving Private Ryan look to it. I hope to God they've taken notes on SPR. THAT'S how you make a WW2 movie.

i dont see 3D being an issue.it can be used to enhance the feeling of the movie as it did with avatar.
if they try to make it a stereotypical 3D flick and try to have everything coming out at you (alice in wonderland style) it will fail badly.
i say cap and bucky should be american,i wont jump off the nearest bridge if they aint but would be better IMO if they were.

I don't know..having a GRITTY war movie in 3D
doesn't sit well with me..Sure it's Comic Book Movie
But That doesn't mean it can't be a AWESOME war movie
and 3D is just a gimmick (for now anyway)

TYLER- LOL! 1st rule in 3D COMIC movies is:
WE do NOT talk about 3D COMIC movies!

"Virtually the entire story except the bookends are in World War II because we all recognize we have one chance to tell the origin story of how he became Captain America, you can't tell a modern story and then go back and tell the origin story. If you're going to do it, let's do it. Let's do it first. Everyone wanted to tell an origin story. There was a version where it was a modern story and it didn't work."

This struck me as odd. Does this mean that it may perhaps be shot in black and white? If so that may be interesting.

Sorry Lee, Ozy. Looks like Worthington will ahve to wait for the Captain Australia movie!

Jensen Ackles for Cap.
