    I could see that working. Do you mean with his House voice or his own posh english accent?
    well i think he wouldnt go with either, think he would go with what he would learn about the character and change his voice to suit. The tone is more so what i'm after

    Short and hairy, would have to be Danny DeVito.

    James Gunn confirmed to direct the film and rewrite Chris McCoy and Nicole Perlman's script

    This pleases me greatly, really hope he's allowed put his own weird stamp on it to some extent.

    He's been linked to Star Lord actually (the human guy with the mask in the concept art) but apparently he said he wouldn't take the role because he's commited himself to Castle at the moment. He's good mates with Gunn though, I wouldn't write him off appearing altogether.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,504 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Chris Pratt is to play the lead character


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Was hoping of the rumoured names that Jack Houston would get it but Pratt apparently is a good choice anyway among fans.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,169 ✭✭✭JohnnyRyan99


    I just can't look at Pratt and see anybody but Andy from Parks and Rec!

    Don't know how reliable this is, but there's rumours flying around that Jason Mamoa has been cast as Drax the Destroyer: http://screenrant.com/jason-momoa-drax-destroyer-guardians-of-the-galaxy/?_r=true

    He was great in GoT. I never watched Conan in the end though because it was supposed to be so bad.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,397 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    Bit of casting News.

    Can't say this has peaked my interest in going to see this, but the recent comic relaunch has started off well.

    Take solace in the fact he will get less screen time than a CGI raccoon. ;)

    Depending on who's voicing Rocket that could be a good or bad thing Turtyturd :P

    This really has the potential to be fantastic if they pull it off. Loving the concept art.

    Can anyone recommend a good GotG comic/story to read? Never heard of them before this.

    I personally The Rock Dwayne Johnson would make a pretty awesome Drax, i think hes a pretty tight actor.

    Del Toro will apparently play someone who will have a major part in GOTG and future Marvel films. There's rumours he will be playing......

    Thanos! :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,115 ✭✭✭✭Nervous Wreck


    I like Lee Pace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,482 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    I reckon he could be playing Adam Warlock

    Also Batista is playing Drax not sure if thats been said or not

    I reckon The Rock would decline if offered such a role as I have a feeling he feels he's capable of landing a bigger superhero role.

    I think Batista will do fine away, but I would have preferred if Momoa accepted. You're not going to win in a battle with Marvel over money.

    Hasn't he been linked to the roles of Black Adam...and Lobo?

    He is giving Reynolds a run for his money. Bendis should probably throw in a comment in Avengers about how people tell Cage he looks like The Rock to seal the deal.

    In the Avengers comic or Avengers film?

    Because Hickman is writing the current Avengers comic and I don't see him giving in to something like linking a celebrity


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,504 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    John C. Reilly will play Rhomann Dey (Rhomann Dey is the real-life name of super hero Nova Prime and the leader of Nova Corps)

    I believe Turty was joking, and referring to the Ultimate comics (don't know who was the writer) comparing Nick Fury to Samuel L Jackson way back when. ;)

    Yeah I was joking...although more referencing when a Deadpool writer threw in the Ryan Reynolds reference (Gonna go with Fabian Niceaza) and now everbody thinks Ryan Reynolds would make a perfect Deadpool.

    Didn't The Rock start filming Hercules over the last few days? (Not sure if it's the 'Cool story bro' version though.)

    And the writer you're looking for Bob is Mark Millar. ;)

    wtf is this movie?

    New concept art with actors likenesses

    xqtr.jpg

    tumblr_mqapwwJo1U1spx215o1_1280.jpg

    Footage description
    We see a desolate alien world, where Peter Quill, aka Starlord, is going inside an ancient temple. He uses a light globe to illuminate the interior, and then goes to steal an old alien orb.

    Some alien cops come in with big guns to stop him. "Drop it now," orders their leader, Borath (Djimon Hounsou). And he asks Quill who he is. "Starlord," he replies. "Who?" Borath asks. "Starlord, man. Legendary outlaw." Starlord is wounded. "Forget it."

    Then we see someone activate a wrist transceiver, and we're in an alien prison, where five creatures have been arrested on Zandar. We see holographic "rapsheets" for all five of them — Drax the Destoryer, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), a personal death machine, Rocket Raccoon, who has over 50 charges of vehicular theft and escape from lockup, Groot, a houseplant/muscle, and then Starlord himself.

    Rhomann Dey (John C. Reilly) narrates the whole thing with intense snark, especially when he gets to the part about how Peter Quill calls himself Starlord. Listening to this, Quill cranks up his middle finger as if he's working a creaky machine. Later, Quill is in prison and Drax is listening to his personal stereo, which is playing a bouncy "gamba gamba" tune. Quill is offended — and then he gets tased.

    And then we saw a montage of tons of action footage, including a two-headed alien shooting a gun, a prison riot, tons of Gamora putting the smackdown on people, Rocket Raccoon shooting a big gun with a vicious look on his face.

    The footage ends with John C. Reilly saying, "They call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy. What a bunch of A-holes." And we see the five of them lined up, like the Usual Suspects.

    That actually sounds pretty hilarious, encouraging start!

    I think there was a further description that had a quick fight scene playing out to the song "Hooked on a feeling"

  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    While I still think this may not play well with the public & could be Marvels first flop, I must be honest and admit I'm becoming more and more curious. I had never heard of this comic before, at all, but a genuinely fun - and alien - space opera with a snarky sense of humour is rare enough these days, and I'm liking the noises coming from this. The raccoon is still bloody daft, but the rest seems solid.
