Another segment from
Total Film's visit to the set of Joe Johnston's
Captain America: The First Avenger film has been revealed, now depicting of another chat conducted with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, as well briefly with 'Howard Stark' actor Dominic Cooper. While Fiege speaks highly on the action scenes, & Cooper briefly on an action scene of his own, read on below.
There's a boom of orange flame and Dominic Cooper (Stunt double) flies out of the shot like Michael J Fox at the start of Back To The Future. Cooper says,"In this scene I'm inspecting something that was found and, although I'm extraordinarily clevor and te best engineer in the world, I blow the entire lab up."
"It's the biggest action film we've ever made, the on-set action was bigger than any film we've done before," he says. "I don't want to give away the secret but we don't really have an Iron Man suit that can fly around. We've got to do it in the computer. Cap is not computer-generated. In the action scenes its him; we've got a great stuntman who brings that stuff to life."
"You want in-camera spectacle? You got it. In the dailies we often couldn't believe how many tanks we had rolling across fields, how many troops we had, just the size and scope of the production," Feige marvels.
Captain America: The First Avenger focuses on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America. As Captain America, Rogers joins forces with Bucky Barnes and Peggy Carter to wage war on the evil HYDRA organization, led by the villainous Red Skull. Starring Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Tommy Lee Jones, Hayley Atwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Stanley Tucci and Hugo Weaving, the film releases July 22, 2011.
