Update: We’ve just added all of the featurettes, including a look at Vin Diesel’s character ‘Groot,’ and another for ‘Drax,’ played by Dave Bautista. There’s now also Gamora and Star-Lord’s intro videos (see below).
Having finally delivered the first terrific and hilarious trailer for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (which in all honesty wasn’t a million miles from the tidbit screened at Comic Con last July), Marvel studios appear to be spoiling us even more! A short and surprising featurette has just been released giving us a look at Bradley Cooper hard at work in the production booth voicing the intergalactic space outlaw with a bad temper – Rocket Racoon. We expect similar bits and pieces to be released sporadically in the coming weeks or months, introducing the rest of the gang!
In addition, don’t forget to check out our recent feature in which our very own Kat spent some time with the little critter Oreo, the actual animal used to motion-capture the gun-toting alien in James Gunn’s blockbuster.
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand – with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is set to hit cinemas from 1st August 2014 and stars Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Benicio del Toro, Karen Gillan, Ophelia Lovibond, Lee Pace, Djimon Honsou, Glenn Close, Peter Serafinowicz and John C. Reilly.
Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
