Marvel planning Guardians of the Galaxy movie!

Seconded re: the Raccoon.

Wondering if any writing systems generated for the movie will be released as font downloads for interested fans.

 

Well, I'm digging the cast photo. I really hope this is awesome and finds an audience. This is easily the toughest sell of all the Marvel movies so far.

 

I don't know the comics, but so far everything I've seen for this has looked great, and the concept sounds like a lot of fun.

 

GotG animated?

 

I actually read the entire space storyline and reintroduction of the Guardians a few years back. I am looking forward to this move about as much as I've looked forward to anything. Bradley Cooper as Rocket is a great choice!

As long as this movie is done with the same fidelity as has been given to Cap, Thor, and Iron Man then this movie will be the highlight of the summer!

 

I can see where a GotG animated series could be a lot of fun. The only thing I find disappointing is that it will probably be on Disney XD.

 

Thanks, this is just enough infomation to make things interesting, I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie now.

 

The cast photo is pretty cool. I'm really hoping its good, and makes money. I love the Marvel superhero movies, but its always nice to have something different, and this could be really good.

 

Here are some images of some new tie-in products by Zak! Designs (a tumbler and water bottle). This is the art used on the products:

 

Nice.

 

No Stan Lee cameo.

 

Yeesh, check out all the Stan hate in those comments.

 

Stan didn't create Captain America, either.

 

he didn't have a cameo in the Blade films either. like Guardians, he had little to nothing to do with Blade.

 

Yeah, Stan is the one who brought Captain America into the modern Marvel 616 world. It was he who created the "man out of time" angle. The frozen in ice and revived mythos. Without those concepts that Stan added to the character we might not have the Cap we have today. So his cameo is relevant.

Stan does seem only to appear where he created them or in Caps case heavily influenced.
He's not in Elektra, Blade trilogy, Ghost Rider films or the Punisher films. Didn't create them nor do anything to make them into the characters they are.

I did just read that Disney is apparently adding a GotG 30 sec Super Bowl spot.

 

Actually, they came along in 1969, when Stan was still in the thick of things-- but they were created by Arnold Drake. Or at least written by Arnold Drake. I have no idea how they came about behind the scenes. Very likely at that point Roy Thomas had something to do with it.

 

Good and I hope he isn't seen seen in any future Marvel movie either, because I find his cameos usually annoying. I think it's because they are too obvious and in your face. A good cameo is easy to miss, that is not possible with Stan Lee being front and center and usually getting a line.

I honestly don't give a crap if he co-created a bunch of characters, Joanne K. Rowling created Harry Potter all by herself and they didn't put a witch hat on her head and had her mug for the camera in every Harry Potter movie. Just because someone's the creator doesn't mean he or she should appear all the time.

The only one who pulled off a bunch of cameos was Hitchcock and that only worked because they really were blink and you'll miss it cameos and not "Look at me, I'm right here!" scenes.
