CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till release

Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

I can see why they'd CGI in him being scrawny beforehand, it's be too dangerous health-wise to have him slim down and bulk up to such extremes for the movie.

Ok, so wow that was a tease. The upside is that it seems when this segment airs this week we'll have something besides stills to look at finally.

I say fuck the foreign markets. This movie is going to be awful and watering it down or adding artificial internationalism isn't going to help. De-Americanizing GI Joe and Superman did those films no favors. It's not going to be Captain America and I hope this film goes down in flames.

Well you're right that destroying the elements that make a character and a story compelling in the first place accomplishes nothing but to create a pile of meaningless muck. If you can't make money telling a story the way it was meant to be told, you shouldn't even try. And maybe that's what did happen to GI Joe and Superman - I heard such bad things about both that I never bothered to watch either.

But I've yet to see compelling evidence that that's what's happening in the case of Captain America, which seems to have landed in better and more respectful hands. (Which is a good thing, since I like that character a lot more than I've ever cared about GI Joe or Supes.)

Give people a story and a character that has some substance and truth to it, and you'll do just fine domestically and internationally. Just look at the mindless action muck that does great box office overseas - I'm not at all convinced that global audiences even care all that much what a movie is about, as long as there's a lot of visual interest and action, and of course it's marketed up the wazoo.

If I were making Captain America, I'd retain the theme and characterfor domestic audiences, who are the ones who might know what the theme and the character should be, and can tell if you're not being true to it. For everyone else, I'd make sure to include plenty of action. How many people outside America are even passingly familiar with the character, anyway?

i wish they'd hurry up and release a decent pic of him in costume, well lit, holding the shield and looking badass.
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

^ I'm guessing the first official pics of him in costume with the shield will come in the next month or so. We'll probably start getting a "Captain America:First Avenger" media barrage soon enough.

How did a French Magazine get movie plot spoilers for two American made blockbusters?
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

^ Kevin Feige will probably blame Edward Norton for it. :lol:
 
Re: CAPTAIN AMERICA-shooting July 2010:Casting, Rumors, Pics till rele

apparently, that French mag confirms the bulk of the movie takes place in flashback in WW2 and the modern scenes bookend the movie.

Behold, the Cosmic Cube. Look at the spoiler or be spoiled at the link.
