Ever since the announcement of the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie, fans have been clamoring for more info about the movie, about the director, about everything!
Well, let me tell you what’s going on with the movie that we know so far!
FirstShowing is reporting that James Gunn is in talks to direct the movie. Gunn has had a bit of a flair with super heroes with his indie movie, “Super”, but it doesn’t seem like he’s done much more than that. It seems like a movie the size and scope of “Guardians” is a bit more than he’s ever handled. Supposedly, Marvel likes “Gunn’s sensibility and his ability to mix comedy elements with action and horror, a quality he shares with The Avengers director Joss Whedon.”
Adding to the rumors, SpinOff is reporting a possible storyline for the movie. They report that the storyline may be “about a U.S. pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone wants.”
The “something” that everyone wants? Speculation is leaning towards the Infinity Gems.
So, as it stands now (keeping in mind that nothing is concrete), it’s looking like Gunn will be directing, the storyline may involve Vance Astro and the Infinity Gems, but what we do know for a fact is that the movie opens August 1, 2014.
I’d like to see Thanos or Galactus involved as well.
